Create application splash screen for Bullard Development Limited

Bullard Development Limited

Bullard Development Limited is a software engineering company specialising in providing well designed and engineered products and services to a wide variety of business sectors including financial, pharmaceutical and healthcare.
We have a well defined engineering ethos which focusses on close customer contact and is the backbone of all the work we perform.

We are developing a product and require design assets for the administrator application.
 Specifically, we need:

• Main splash screen.
This will appear when the application first loads and needs to reflect the nature of the application but also leave space for load specific messages and the application copyright messages, which will be application generated. It can be rectangular or non-rectangular depending on the design, but shouldn’t bee too large i.e. not bigger than 500x500, although that’s a guide not a hard and fast limit.

The application is called "XLDataCluster Administrator", and this text should appear prominently on the splash screen. The application will administer functionality that interfaces with Microsoft Excel and other instances of XLDataCluster running on other computers across a network. So designs that represent that concept will be favoured.

You *may* utilise our corporate logo (attached), either in part or as a whole, although we are expecting that the winning design will effectively create a new "brand" for the XLDataCluster admin app, so our logo shouldn't be the prominent feature.
You are free to use any combination of font, colour & images, although please take a cue from our logo in respect of typestyle (i.e. modern)
The successful designer will also be asked to design icons for the app, but this will be handled separately.
