Cornelius Soon (Pocket) created this revision.

The WIX_UI_DIALOG.bmp has the previous image "leaking" in the background (see bottom and right edges).

That said, I find it strange to change the image using the previous splashscreen. I think it makes more sense to update this as part of bcon3, once we get the new splashscreen.

(or resist the urge and stick to an image that is not tied to a particular release)

Thanks for the feedback @Dalai Felinto (dfelinto).

Makes sense regarding quality control and what the source image asset should be.

The old images were not familiar to me so the closest association I could find was the current Blender LTS splashscreen art. Using splashscreen art from the upcoming bcon3 seems much more suitable.
