Plymouth and Nvidia - I get no splash screen...

So I want to add a splash screen to my boot and I am having problems getting it to actually show. I know the problem most likely stems from that fact that I am using nvidia proprietary drivers, but I followed the instructions to get that to work.

This is the error I am receiving at boot:

Nov 18 04:25:09 Jupiter kernel: uvesafb: 
Nov 18 04:25:09 Jupiter kernel: NVIDIA Corporation, 
Nov 18 04:25:09 Jupiter kernel: GM204 Board,

(The "video=vesa:off vga=normal" was added after I saw the error I was receiving at boot)
My /etc/mkinitcpio.conf: https://pastebin.com/1y4PqeRn

The instructions I followed came from the wiki.
