I’m working on a retrocomputing project that needs an 8" 4:3 LCD. The one I found works, but when it starts up it flashes a brightly colored logo that clashes horribly with the rest of the project. Does the 8" 1024x768 HDMI screen (and associated driver board) have any startup screens, and if so, is it possible to get at them in the firmware and change them?
Are you talking about the welcome screen (rainbow-square) of the Pi, or of a logo from the maker of the LCD? In the latter case you would have to check the settings of the LCD, in the former case you can use raspi-config to disable it.
I’m talking about the logo from the maker of the LCD itself - the Pi’s going to get its welcome screen and desktop customized too, but the LCD logo is the one that’s frustrating me right now.
This screen?
If yes you could e-mail tech support and ask them.

Or as Berhard sujested, poke around in the firmware / screen setup menu.
Our screen kits don’t show any splash screen or logos - I think there might be a small box that pops up when it’s powered up to say it’s receiving an HDMI input, but that’s all :)
You’re the best! Thank you!
