I highly doubt Square will say something, because it was drawn from scratch, Yes it may bear a resemblence, but its not the work of Square.

Since you're recreating their game and all, somehow I don't think the first thing they'll shout will be "That's too close to our logo, you swine!" :P

My point exactly, but its also doubtful this will get shut down, so no worries!

Do we want to encode this splash screen in LZS?  I have been studying the LZS format (and have found a simpler formula to calculate the offset) used in FF7 (PSX) and should have some code to compress into LZS format shortly. 

The reason I ask this is because on the PSX disc there is a file called SCEAP.LZS (Sony Computer Entertainment America Presents) which is a 640 by 320 16bit raw image compressed in LSZ.

That will be displayed when the engine starts doing more engine-y type stuff.

May I suggest storing it as a JPEG? It's much less complicated then putting it in an LZS, and will probably use less space.

If you want it lossless, though, do it as a PNG.

Are you refering to QGears Logo? or SCEAP.LZS file in the Media?
One might wish to compile the logo into the executable and load it from within.
JPEG should look fine as long as the Q setting is high enough.

Yes, but that will make the executable larger, thus making updates take longer to download.

BTW, What is SCEAP.LZS?

Since I have embeded JPEGs into DLL's from experience this is hardly the case. The difference is quite small.  Especially for something as small as a splash screen.  Unless you are planing a 1024x768 splash logo, I don't see it as a problem at all.  I would like to also point out that the fewer files you have in an installation package the better.

That should answer your question :)
