I think you have mostly misunderstood the purpose of a splash screen.

The "splash" screen is typically used in the same manner as jumping into the water. Quick and spectacular, not subtle.

The splash screen should capture the essence of the product, and it should be impactive immediately. It will only show for a few seconds.

This is not like studying the Mona Lisa for hours at a time to discover all the subtleties. 8-)
