New Splash Screen for Eclipse IDE releases in 2023

Summary

Hello, Hopefully this is the right location to make this request.

We need to design a new splash screen for Eclipse 4.28+ releases.

Here are the requirements

Requirement 1: Splash screen Size : 452x302 Format: XCF (gimp format)

should have month/year and release name in separate text layers, so that it can be modified for update releases. Or multiple BMP format splash screens with 2023-06, 2023-09, 2023-12 and 2024-03 dates

Requirement 2: branding image in about dialog current image: https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform/blob/master/platform/org.eclipse.sdk/eclipse_lg.png

size: 116x302 format: png

See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=575781 for previous splash screens.

Unfortunately I was late making this issue so it's already late in the year but it would be nice to have new splash screens by January/early February 2023 so the voting can happen in March as usual.
