Some truths are spoken in jest

fingertroubleBeen hacking my phone, so I did this:
Yes that is my new boot logo...a closer look here:
For those who don't know, TBC is one of my aliases, short for my old name TimBearCub...I've released mixes under that name. Previously I hijacked the TDK logo, I thought it was time to do another...
Took me a while to match the HTC logo, but I much prefer it...the ironic thing is their logo with the Quietly Brilliant usually has an annoying loud sound, which is one of the reasons I rooted the phone (that and the fact that Gingerbread - the name for Android operating system 2.3 - was sloooooooooooooww on the official update). So I turned the sound off and switched the graphic to 'annoying' when in fact it's far less so. I iz contrary like that.
For those into such insane geekery, I switched to Virtuous G-Lite, tried all the Sense 3 bollocks until my phone just crumbled into a heap with the lack of memory. Switching to a non-Sense firmware/ROM just speeded everything up, and the only thing I miss is the Locations decent mapping, all other apps I've found or paid a little for are just as good or even better. And a lot less laggy! I've learned far too much about Unix and Android, HBOOTs and S-Offs and ClockworkMods for my liking...FAR TOO GEEKY.
You can change the boot animation, I tried that with the Beard Slap gif and it obviously was too large or something...
EDIT: Now with a new boot animation:
