cc'ing marketing, since this is a vital branding issue. Tim - be sure to look at this page: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Marketing_Team/Boot_Logo and read through this discussion thread: http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/marketing/2009-May/001184.html
concerning boot animation... there's been very useful reflection including mockups on the issue. We have been unhappy with the OLPC-OS v8.2 and prior boot animations which never communicated what OS is loading, and we are in discussions with OLPC for the XO-1.5s to show a Sugar logo at boot. by blue swirl i assume you mean the Fedora background? my understanding is that it is indeed customizable. i agree that a sugar logo (plus maybe fedora remix logo?) would be better.
