The yocto psplash logo comes from meta-yocto/recipes-core/psplash. Rather than 
changing the one in that directory though, the recommended way to provide your 
own splash screen is to do what meta-yocto does in your own layer (i.e. just 
copy that directory into your own layer and replace the logo there).

Paul
