Here is my tool to help you make your custom PS3 boot logos.
For examples: (thx to mrmuppet and me)

You will need:
Photoshop (To create your Boot Logo)
Photosho DDS plugin (To allow you to edit the Logo)
The attached Boot Logo Creator
SimplyZip

Basic Instructions:
Install Photoshop
Install the DDS Plugin NVIDIA Plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop (Normal/Cube Maps, DDS)
Edit your DDS files
Run Coldboot Creator and follow the steps

Full Instructions:

1. After You have installed Photoshop and the dds plug-in you will need to open the dds files in the “Boot Logo’s (dds’s)” Folder. When you open the DDS click on “Load Using Default Sizes”

<a href="../uploads/logocreator/1.jpg"><img src="../uploads/logocreator/1-t.jpg" width="300" height="200" border="0" /></a>

2. When you have created your desired logo you have to save it with these settings:

<a href="../uploads/logocreator/2.jpg"><img src="../uploads/logocreator/2-t.jpg" width="300" height="201" border="0" /></a>

3. Repeat this for all 6 pictures Do Not resize the pictures

4. Run “Coldboot Creator.exe” and select “Step1″

<a href="../uploads/logocreator/3.jpg"><img src="../uploads/logocreator/3-t.jpg" width="300" height="145" border="0" /></a>

5. You will need to convert you DDS files to GTF files, to do this Click “Convert Pictures” and follow the instructions.

6. When you have converted your pictures Browse to all the files it asks for:

<a href="../uploads/logocreator/4.jpg"><img src="../uploads/logocreator/4-t.jpg" width="300" height="198" border="0" /></a>

7. Press Start and it should say Success, then close that window and click Step2

8. Follow the on screen instructions with pictures to compress the step1 file

<a href="../uploads/logocreator/5.jpg"><img src="../uploads/logocreator/5-t.jpg" width="300" height="168" border="0" /></a>

9. Click step3

10. Browse to the required files and click finish to create the final Coldboot.raf

<a href="../uploads/logocreator/6.jpg"><img src="../uploads/logocreator/6-t.jpg" width="300" height="97" border="0" /></a>

11. Copy the Coldboot.raf to /dev_flash/vsh/resource on your ps3 (You will need a way to write to flash eg. Asbestos or FreeFlash 3.55 compiled or dev_blind)

Do not change the size of the images There are no checks, if you change the size your coldboot will not work!

I have tested this on 3.55, it should work on 3.41 since the Coldboot.raf files are the same(Correct me if i’m wrong)

Thanks to:

Amazing work Srimok! Keep it up!

I also have a request. I tried to make this myself and got as far as installing it but my console was semi bricked. Not sure exactly what I did wrong. Pic is in the link. Tell me what you think and if you can do it. Thanks again.

If you can find a copy of CS3 then use that with the legacy patch. My setup is CS3 with the legacy patch running on Win7 Ultimate 64bit. If you don't want to put CS3 on your machine then install it in XP mode or create a VM.

I made 2 versions for you DMX1 is the one where he is on the right and DMX2 is with him centered. I wasn't sure if the centered one would look good with the sharp line on his neck but it will probably be fine.

Hey, I have literally exhausted every single way I possibly could trying to make graphic.

Anyway, I was looking for a graphic of Antoine Dodson, like this one, could someone help make it a coldboot file?
