Dirk - Thanks so much for the tip! Not only did you point me to the console output line where the text is created (it was actually in the main() function of init.c), but it also pointed out that I can override this behavior by providing an RGB565 image called initlogo.rle to display instead of this text.
I will give this a whirl. Cheers!
