To Disable Startup Logo
Use Explorer and find MSDOS.SYS in root directory
Make a copy of MSDOS.SYS file to Temp.directory
Right-click MSDOS.SYS and select properties
Change the attributes uncheck all boxes
Open a Command prompt and type EDIT C:\MSDOS.SYS
Add logo=0 to the [OPTIONS]
sdth="17" height="17">Add Logo=0 to the [OPTIONS] section of the MSDOS.SYS file
Save the File
Change the attributes again to Read Only
Also if you have TweakUI you can disable the logo

Look for and rename a file called logo.sys to something else. The next time you boot it will be gone.

go to notepad and look for msdos.sys file. If it doesnt exist, make it. now add the following lines.
[options]
logo=0
now save the file and restart the PC.
and it doesnt make the booting faster.
What makes it faster is if you added the following lines to the msdos.sys file.
[Paths]
Windir=(windows folder)

replace (windows folder) with the folder shell32.dll can be located in.

Search the web for "Windows startup logo" or for the word LOGOS.SYS

There are any number of utilities that will allow you to create a bitmap (*.BMP) of any image you like. Rename is LOGO.SYS, and put in the root if your original LOGO.SYS was in the root, or in \WINDOWS if that's where the original was.

The file has to be the exact right ht & width (I forget the size) and animation is a little harder.

LOGO.SYS is the boot up image, LOGOW.SYS is the "Please wait...shutting down..." image, and LOGOS.SYS is the "Ok to shut off your computer" picture. LOGO.SYS may not exist, because there's a picture embedded in MSDOS.SYS (I think) and win uses that if a separate LOGO.SYS is not found.
