Why that? Don't you like our logo? :-)

Ummm... it must be in BMP format, of course.

Don't make it too big; you will be  wasting  screen  space  otherwise
(and  may need / want to adjust the text formatting, too). You should
make sure that the logo uses the same number of colors per  pixel  as
your LCD uses (usually 8bpp).

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
