The little daemon is nice/cute/...! My personal taste: - splash1 is a little bit color-less + maybe use some kind of color (the FreeBSD red?) to set focal points + maybe use a colored background - splash2: the green background distracts - splash3: can we have (semi-)lower-case characters for "ree"?
