Custom Logo on macbook boot

[anirudh]

How do I put a custom image or logo instead of the plain apple during the boot up and the gong?

You can't; there is no BIOS for you to program a new image into..

 

[Tallest Skil]

Besides, what would you want instead of that?

Where is that icon located in storage anyways?

It can be done, it's simple, all you need is this application:

Edit: And for the gong, you cannot change the noise, but you can turn it off or make it softer with this pref pane: http://www5e.biglobe.ne.jp/~arcana/StartupSound/BETA/index.en.html

Wow, kickass. Thanks for the links!!

Awesome. Thanks. I've been dying to lose the Aurora login window for months, but just keep forgetting to look it up. I changed it to a plain blue screen. Simple.
