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,
