Why couldn't these just remain neutral? I know Adobe does this with their "goofy" tacky artwork with Illustrator, but why follow them? (at least the PHOTO-PAINT & Font Manager's Splash screens aren't so bad though).
The entire CorelDRAW 2019 program was atrocious. (final release with only 3 wheels, never received the 4th wheel, so useless! To at least get the 4th wheel as a spare tire, had to purchase 2020 for now until Corel gets all these bugs worked out, but by time then, the ENGINE WILL BLOW!)
But at least 2019 had a nice Splash Screen I have to see EVERYDAY as I start CorelDraw.
My goodness Corel.
2020
2019
As an output professional I always tried to not be an art critic. However, wow! The 2020 screen reminds me of the gaudy Native American headdress art they showed. That may have been clip art I can't remember.
I agree, it's ugly -- I close my eyes now as it opens. I would much prefer something neutral. I really liked 2018's splash.
To be fair to the artist, to each their own, I just don't really like stuff like that which I am forced to see everyday I open the software for probably more than year. Unless I decide to discontinue the UPGRADE PROTECTION that is. : /
It's a fine piece of work, just feel these things should be kept neutral rather then someone's personal opinion.

The splash image for Draw is here on my systems:
C:\Program Files\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2020\Languages\EN\Draw\Skin\APP_Fireball.png.
Put your own transparent .PNG file there; see your own splash image.
If you'd rather see Puddles every time you launch CorelDRAW...
Why do we need a splash screen at all? Just indicate the launch with as litte resources as possible and open real fast.
