The special made logo is compressed using a sekret method and stored in
io.sys file. It's further animated in the moving bar across the bottom
of the screen. Without knowing the compression technique used (and
nobody will tell) or where it's at you CAN'T change it so very easy.

No one? - I'm sure I read about it ages ago - the startup program toggles
the (just the blue?) palette to give the impression of a running bar at
the base.

There used to be instructions on how to make a similar animation bitmap
on the web, but those sites are going to be hard to find in these latter
days for 98.

Some are still up:

So unless you buy the software that used to be able to do it, which is
why those that knew how weren't telling how since they were selling the
how, you just can't get there from here.

Shutdown is a separate issue and a different method. This one is simply
named logow.sys and is found in the windows folder. Copy it somewhere
else and change the extension to .bmp and view it with paint or any
other image viewer.
Any replacement will have to be exactly same type, same size bitmap.
