Public bug reported:

the new default ubuntu boot theme, shows OEM vendor logo during boot,
and it looks very slick on UEFI / brand-name laptops. There is large
dell/lenovo/etc logos, spinner, ubuntu logo.

However, under some boots, there is no vendor logo available (either
buggy firmware, buggy firmware settings, or BIOS boot with no logo
available, ie. VM).

In that case we possibly want to have a fallback graphics in plymouth.
Something monochome and big (needs a new asset) i.e. just the canonical
circle.

Incidentally, can we fix our SeaBIOS VM firmware to expose a logo in
BIOS boot that plymouth can use and show here? Something like SeaBIOS?
I.e. under UEFI boot, there is a large Tianocore logo.
