+# Linux Logo Patches
+This repository contains patches to add support for custom splash logos in the boot screen.
+
+To apply the patches download the one for the relevant kernel version and apply it with `git am` or whatever method is most convenient.
+
+An image that the kernel accepts can be generated like this:
+```
+magick logo.png logo.ppm
+ppmquant 224 logo.ppm > logo_224.ppm
+pnmnoraw splash_224.ppm > logo_ascii_224.ppm
+```
+
+Then simply copy `logo_ascii_224.ppm` to `drivers/video/logo/logo_custom_clut224.ppm`
+
+Don't forget to set `LOGO_CUSTOM=y` in the kernel configuration
