Here is a background and a couple of splash screens that I made for sfml:

Keep in mind that youtube compresses the video even at 1080p, if someone needs a lossless version, tell me.
And, please make your splash screens skippable, nothing makes me hate a company more than staring at its unskippable splash screen for the tenth time :P

Looks awesome! What did you make them with? :)
I'd be interested in the lossless videos.

Some games use the time of the splash screen to load resources in the back. ;)

Several programs, the main one is 3ds max.

Here you go:

This is the whole project directory - excuse the mess ;D - including the lossless .png+alpha sequence, so you can put any background you want.

And that's the type of loading screens that no amount of hardware advancement can improve ;D

Looks very great!

Yeah, but for some reason I prefer seeing some sort of loading screen which explicitly tells me that the game is loading stuff and not that the devs made the logo unskippable. :D

Done right (e.g. Battlefield series), they'll popup some "Loading ..." text and continue the video just till loading is complete. :)

How can I play those videos using SFML? As far as I know SFML has no means to play them at all.

You could take a look at sfeMovie (http://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=8701.0) or Motion (http://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=16221.0). There are also a few similar projects if you search the forum a bit.

Thanks for the links. Is there any plan to include video playback in SFML, by the way?

Nop. It would be nice to have, but it is really complicated. ffmpeg is a huge dependency with itself many other dependencies, there are lots of codecs, potential legal issues with them, etc.
-
I must say that I really like the still image.
However, although it's harder, it would be much more appropriate to having the backing mesh made of pentagons to match SFML's logo rather than hexagons ;)
-
It's not just harder, it is mathematically impossible, not without distorted and rotated pentagons or adding other shapes, which looks uglier - to me -, and defeats the point.
-
I totally agree. My comment was merely expressing the wish to the genie in the internet.
Side note: I like the mesh in the image because I think it looks like musical hardward. ;D
-
Indeed, they look awesome! May I use them for a commercial project?

Thanks, and sure, go ahead.

Thanks a lot! When it is finished I'll make sure to PM you so you can see (if you want obviously).

I'd love to.
