[U-Boot-Users] BMP logo format?

I would love to create my own logo for display when u-boot runs. Can someone tell me what format I need to create a BMP file in? I know there is a utility in tools called bmp_logo that converts the BMP to a header file.
Does my BMP need to be a certain size and how many number of colors?
Thanks, Michael Frey

Why that? Don't you like our logo? :-)

Ummm... it must be in BMP format, of course.

Don't make it too big; you will be wasting screen space otherwise (and may need / want to adjust the text formatting, too). You should make sure that the logo uses the same number of colors per pixel as your LCD uses (usually 8bpp).
