How can I get the arch logo in console/terminal during boot?

Hello
I just installed arch as my first linux, and I would like to get the arch logo in the top left corner during boot, like on the following screenshot:

uname  -a:
Linux 3.6.6.1-ARCH #1

syslinux bootloader

How can I do that?

Thanks a lot and greetings

I believe fbcondecor/fbsplash are what you are looking for.

Hi, thank you!
So it means, I would have to use an older kernel (fbcondecor) (3.5) just to be able to use it?

Then I will probably not :-)
Thanks anyway.

I'm not sure what's the situation now, but you may not get the logo - neither the penguin nor Arch logo:
