Just remember to get out of the habit of initializing views with -
init. In your case, since you're replacing the existing (empty) 
content view of your splash window with the image view, you could say:

NSImageView * splashView = [[NSImageView alloc] initWithFrame:
[[splashWindow contentView] frame]];
