Can i create a splash boot-up screen


can i make an animated screen that appears when Debian boots up, i want it to resemble the Mac OS X splash screen with the apple logo in the center and a spiral but instead of the apple logo i want the Debian logo instead just thought it be a cool addition to add to my system

it should look like this

Best option is probably to create a Plymouth theme. It's not too difficult to modify someone else's theme and put your own colors and graphics into it, but creating your own, to my knowledge, requires programming it in C. If you do a quick google search for "plymouth theming," you should find a good amount. I am not knowledgeable enough to give you specifics--I've only modified someone else's theme. Hopefully that helps you find the way, though.
