Nice. Much quicker than how i did it. I decompresses to PARAM.bin and extracted the logo. Coloured and slapped on a band in paint. Just to get it as close as possible to match i used gimp. The scary part was wondering what would happen flashing param in heimdall. Made sure permissions were good and dumped my pit file. I hovered over the button for quite a while. Immediately after the flash my phone rebooted but during the the half second between shutdown and restart i thought i bricked it. Tried to do it on an old on5 after and twice failed. So bad it was "dead" compmetely for 20 minutes. Weird. Thanks. Think i'll try it now. Here's a few pics for anyone wanting it simple and my current slayer one.
