Yes agree, I was thinking in something, as you said, as “under construction” to get a visual feedback. We can change during the development and use it to show new features.

IMHO, from users point of view, they will "feel" are using a new version, not a “bug fixing” version of 2.78 and this will communicate 2.8 is not a simple improvement, but a new “experience”.

Only a concern about space for these images in GIT.

How about something with an "under construction" theme, like a 90s website.
A hint that it's pre-release.
