    UIInterfaceOrientation orientation = [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation;
    suffix = UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait(orientation) ? @"-Portrait" : @"-Landscape";
    suffix = [UIScreen mainScreen].scale == 2.0 ? [suffix stringByAppendingString:@"@2x~ipad"] : [suffix stringByAppendingString:@"~ipad"];
}

NSString *launchImageName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"LaunchImage-700%@.png",suffix];
