Windows startup and shutdown screens are actually 320x400 bitmaps saved with a SYS extension in C:\ and C:\WINDOWS. You can substitute the default bitmaps with these original SYS files on any version of Windows later than 95.

Each logo set is saved in a ZIP file, along with some installation instructions. As always, if you like the stuff I make, feel free to email me or leave a note in the guestbook.

Space (38 KB) One of my more popular logo sets; crescent planets orbiting lens-flare suns. Newly updated set. DOWNLOAD

Old Manila (255 KB) Old photos of Manila in the 1960s, scanned and turned into a thematic logo set. (I think the startup one is from Waiting for Godot.) DOWNLOAD

And So (137 KB) An abstract "video" type of logo set using a distressed "film damage" look. DOWNLOAD
