Considering what @Stan` just said (I'm in the same page of wanting to know the version, particularly in a state of constant development), what about having the option of not to show the game's logo, but always show the version below it? I'm in favour of the rest of what you said.
Just to be clear, I'm not strictly against it. My point is that you can't assume how people will take screenshots. And so if the presence is conditional then it might not be here

I'd like to advocate some more for the About page and moving the build information there. If it's useful for screenshots to show the build info, then have it show up with the game's logo at the bottom right corner (currently Alt-K toggle, but it could be automatic for screenshots) when the screenshot's taken. Any chance to keep the HUD clean and organized I'd like to take it (within reason of course, which is why we're having this conversation).
(Put it in the bottom right)
*I'd actually like to have a new Options section for Screenshots (Show UI? Show Version? Target Folder, etc.)
