I thought the logo in CentOS-6 was very pleasant.
The fact remains that booting was attractive, and now it isn't.
I'll agree that the boot splash change from EL6 to EL7 differs a lot.
We're of differing opinion ... I see the boot splash "once every blue moon" so it doesn't bother me. It's certainly more modern looking in EL7, though it does lack the indicator "ring" that shows granular boot progress.
The product's public image is important. Its part of the Centos experience. "Pleasant" items should be retained not indifferently discarded (because some adore Windoze).
The CentOS theme looks just like the RHEL theme since there was only a 7 and not any trademark reasons to change that theme.
The goal of CentOS is to change the minimum amount of source code possible ... so we didn't change it. We did get the logo working on the login screen with the latest updates.
If someone *WANTS* to figure out how to change the theme using the git.centos.org source code, and if they recommend the changes via patches using the git am format on the CentOS Devel mailing list, we will certainly discuss those possible changes.
Remember, we have only 3 people doing CentOS Linux distro related things .. and of the 3, only 1 (me) is full time maintaining of distro packages. The other 2 are concentrating on Docker/Container/Cloud.
It isn't like we have a hundred (or even a dozen) engineers working on CentOS.
