Like I said before, AMI doesn't use a 'standard' colour palette (some colours are switched around), so I've included a standard 132x132 blank PCX file with the correct palette at the end of this article.

   Once you've downloaded the PCX file, open it up in your favorite paint program.

  Now, all you gotta do is pick a color and make something :)

My Logo

   Once you have it done, save the PCX file.

Adding the Logo to Your BIOS File

   Grab your BIOS file from your motherboard manufacturer's website and decompress it to a temp directory. This is where AmiBCP comes in. To load up your bios file:

amibcp bios.bin

   Go into Edit BIOS Modules and look for a line that reads 31 OEM Logo Data:

   This is normally the standard green EnergyStar logo. In order to use our own logo, we need to delete this module by hitting [Del].

   Note: Be careful about deleting modules, if you nuke the wrong one, exit AmiBCP without saving. I wouldn't touch the Graphic Logo lines either, removing or changing them can screw up your BIOS.

   Once you've deleted the old logo, add your own by hitting [Ins]:

Insert Module Window (click to enlarge)

   First it'll ask you for the file you want to insert into the module. This is your PCX file. Next it'll bring up the 'Change Module Characteristics' window. Two things you need to change here. First, highlight the Module ID field and use the pgup/pgdown keys to change it to 31 OEM Logo Data.

   Also, make sure Compressed is set to Yes. Hit [Esc] then [Enter] to save the new module. You should now see your logo right at the bottom of the listing:  

   Hit [Esc] to go back to the AmiBCP Main Menu, then hit F10 to save the new BIOS and exit.
