Sorry, that could mislead. Penguins are optional for framebuffer
users (and not available if you don't use a framebuffer), and they
appear (if selected, and once the required firmware has loaded) just
after the screen changes from 80x25 to whatever your monitor
permits.
So how would one turn them on and off if optional?
In the kernel configuration.
Device Drivers -> Graphics Support -> Bootup logo
This is was what I was referring to when I mentioned no penguins:

I guess I should have clarified that to when KMS was turned on, not
when framebuffer was being used.
KMS is nothing to do with the bootloader, nor with the commandline
arguments - unless I'm missing something ?
If you search KMS and grub2, there are articles on how to disable KMS
from grub2. I've experimented with some of the grub2 settings and was
able to disable and enable.
Here's one example that mentions it:

That the hard way. Just add nomodeset to the linux line in grub.cfg.
