That message isn't logged. It's just a hearty welcome string we print to
whatever is the console. It's printed really early on, very shortly
after PID 1 was invoked. Nothing else is running at that time.

If you want to hook your stuff into that you'd need to turn your stuff
into a proper kernel TTY drivers so that you can turn the kernel's
console= to it...

There are messages like this written to the journal, but not the exact
messages, since they container color... 

If you are OK with that you could simply run "journalctl -f |
some-script" or so...
