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:

I'll wait for some pre-made logos to be made by the community or maybe start a "boot logo request" thread? That way we'll just load them up ......good job whoever did this...now I want to be able to change the XMB icons like we used to on the psp

I would kill for someone to make the pre 3.0 logo. The current logo suits the slim but doesn't go with the phat whatsoever.

Yah that is the problem. The only evidence that it actually exists is from youtube videos.
