The initial boot logo is compiled into the Kernel. If you're willing to compile your own kernel, you can put whatever you want in there.

The other option would be to recompile the kernel so that it only ever shows the custom logo.

Both are do-able, and I think the latter has already been done in the past. Although I don't know if a 1.03 version exists. See if Drakino has it at his kernel site. And if not, maybe you can prod him into offering that version.
