SECO logo is always displayed by default during the boot phase. In particular, there are two different logos:

splash logo: large icon centered in the screen when quiet boot is enabled;
small logo: small icon in the top right corner of the screen when quiet boot is disabled.

The AMI ChangeLogo utility allows both to replace SECO logo(s) with custom one(s) and to remove it.
The utility is distribuited in the following versions:

ChangeLogoWin.exe for Windows 32-bit
ChangeLogoWin64.exe for Windows 64-bit
