The problem is mostly that linux doesn't do graphics in the kernel -- you'd have to start x or svgalib _while_ the kernel is booting to show a logo like that, which I don't think can be done (X and SVGlib both seem to depend on things that are done during the boot process). There is an ascii-linux-logo program floating around someplace (no clue where), or you could design an ascii-logo and just dump it to the screen at some point early in the boot scripts.
