On other distros, the console underscore cursor appears on a black background when the OS starts, then the OS starts showing the splash screen which often doesn’t have the BGRT or the firmware logo and when it reaches the graphical target, it again shows the same black background with the underscore cursor on it.

Fedora on the other hand, shows the manufacturer logo when the machine has reached grub without a flicker and you can hit I think F8 to show grub during that phase for a few seconds until the grub timeout finishes, then it turns off the screen and shows back up with the familiar Fedora BGRT spinner boot screen. When it reaches the graphical session, the spinner in the boot screen goes away, leaving only the BGRT and the distribution logo until the login manager appears. This boot look looks much more pleasant and professional than the boot look in many other distros.

So I am asking how can I get the same boot look on other distros as I am looking to upstream these changes into VanillaOS?
