Let me dodge the desktop background discussion by assuming it stays as-is... in which case I have a suggestion for the matching Plymouth splash. It looks a bit odd that there is a big geeko (from the 12.2 splash) and now a small geeko on the vine - the small geeko doesn't feel right to me, he seems to distract from the big one. Maybe for the Plymouth theme, the small geeko could be removed from the vine. Then he'd show up only for the real background. (An alternative would be to remove the vine entirely - the splash would still look good.)
Just my $0.02.
The 12.2 plymouth theme should of course be replaced. Could you come up with some design/code, that outlines your ideas?
Somehow I already anticipated that there wouldn't be a real new plymouth theme, so based on the grow background I have created a new one with some additional graphical effects. During the bootsplash it will display "Loading System" in 4 different languages (English, German, French and Italian). Below it will be spinner and to top it off the vine with Geeko will slowly fade in. This would be a good transition as that Grub leaves us with an initial black screen and then the DM will have the full background.
