You can see some screenshots at https://github.com/rougier/elegant-emacs. Among the screenshots, there's a proposal for a revamped splash screen. I'm not subscribed to this mailing list (please cc me) but I've tried to follow the long discussion on the archived mailing list, trying to take various comments into account (I probably have missed some). The result [1] is kind of minimal with only essential information (for a new user) and can be easily adapted for terminal or GUI version. The most important information is the key to type (ctrl-h) to go to a welcome screen [2] with essential information. These mockups have been made using org-mode. Probably this can be made differently and more efficiently but I'm not too familiar with Emacs internal.
