I have a utility on my Win3x page to help you edit and change your startup logo. The program to look for is WINLOGO.
Some notes:
The default logo that Windows uses is called VGALOGO.RLE and exists in your Windows 3x System directory. Setup embeds this into WIN.exe
The required format for the Win3x bitmap is RLE 4 (not RLE 8) and the bitmap must not contain more than 16 colours.
The RLE file must not be bigger than 46k in size. Otherwise the WINCHG.COM file that will be built will not be usable. Windows will not be able to load it, or even to start at all. If an RLE file selected from the menu is too big, WINLOGO will inform you of this.
