I was talking about > the logo on the About Emacs page. It is called a splash screen. This is the conventional name but actually it used in Emacs as well. If it bores you, you can do: (setq inhibit-startup-screen t) The logo is from 2001 BTW. To me, the splash screen and 'about' are two different things. The splash screen should be cool and directed to new users, while the meta-Emacs and legal info that we have is 'about'. The line This is GNU Emacs, one component of the GNU/Linux operating system. is a little comical, it sounds like you have found one component and now you should go look for the others? Today at least, no one says "the GNU/Linux operating system". Which one is that? -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
