Thanks for everyone who chimed in with their .02.  I did:
yum list *logos*
yum install *logos*     <-- which also uninstalled the wbel logos upon 
install, quite nice.

So I got that in there works/looks great.  Thanks again.  So after that 
I figured well why dont I edit this logo and jazz it up for the company 
and make a custom one.  Open up the GIMP, open the stock image (after:  
gzip -d splash.xpm.gz) add company logo, the gzip'd it back with the -S 
.gz keeping the same extension.  load it in place at /boot/grub/ make 
sure its referenced in grub.conf, check.  Boot up and the image is all 
distored and discolored.

Ill be scouring around the net when I get some free time for a good how 
to on making your own with out all the display problems.

Thanks again !
