# Splash Screen — Mobile app

The first screen a user sees when launching the mobile app and it initialises before transitioning to the home screen.

## Items

### Logo or wordmark
The app brand mark centred on a clean background

### Brand background
A solid or subtly branded background that makes the transition from the  mobile home screen clear

### Launch duration
The splash visible only for as long as the app genuinely needs to initialise (not used as decorative padding)

### Transition to first screen
A smooth, intentional animation into the first real screen, ideally not a hard cut or jarring flash

### No interactive elements
The splash screen contains no buttons, inputs, or tappable areas, it is purely for transition

### Loading indicator
For any initialisation taking more than a second so the user knows something is happening

_Tip: This could be your logo, wordmark or illustration you use as the key visual in a looping animation_
