OK.

I personally spent a lot of time to reach the actual logo we have in out 
FTOSX.

Our logo it is really complicated to be create in a boot floopy.

Look it:

        http://www.futuretg.com/img/ftlogo_2003.png

I create it under the Mac ... and slowly decrease the color depth.

I check for you our actual logo. It uses "DirectClass", not PseudoClass 
as I comment before.

However, PseudoClass have a role.

Another role is to decress color-depth up you reach a size image and you 
can run the command


pngtopnm syslinux.png | ppmtolss16 \#000000=0 \#d0d0d0=7 
\#f6f6f6=15         > syslogo.lss


I take about two weeks or more to reach a good result.

You can get our actual boot logo from: http://www.rpmparadaise.org/
inside the package: installer-images.rpm

To decrease color-depth under Linux, I advice: "display" from ImageMagick

http://www.imagemagick.com/www/display.html

Therefore, playing with color decrease and doing tests you can reach the 
result you are looking for.

"PseudoClass" play a role but color decrease is the detail that will 
help you.

Thanks,
Giovanni
