About dialog needs to be revamped.

Description

I have provided a screenshot of the about dialog that I am concerned about.

The about dialog box looks too "complex" to the eyes.

My suggestions: Remove the unnecessarily big, blue 5 and the period. Make the VirtualBox logo and the gray "VirtualBox" text smaller. Emphasize the actual information (version and copyright info), because that is what most people are looking for in the about dialog box.

This is a major usability issue. I hope this issue gets fixed in the next VirtualBox update.
