I'm at my wits on this and this seemed like one of the few places that maybe can help on the topic.
Lenovo bios flash package readme makes it seem as tho creating a custom logo should be a standard feature. See below:
I perform that logo function but what I get an error "Child process failed. Return code: 74", see screen capture. I am running cmd as administrator. I have also tried a number of different image formats; png, bmp, gif. It seems to accept the image fine, compresses within limits, but fails whatever the next step is. Another thing I tried was performing this on a 32 bit instance of Windows 7. Originally tried on Windows 10 64bit. The image is a 640x480 image.

I have no problem flashing the bios otherwise, but this option does not work for me. Really hoping to get it to work. Seems to be a common practice with lenovo laptops. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
