Really glad to see some usplash changes.

However, I think the usplash theme is very unprofessional.
because it's bigger and the color doesn't match the gray background.
Also the gray outline in the ubuntu is somehow feels incomplete, IMO,
making the Ubuntu pure gray without the outline is better.

I have some suggestions, I made some usplash proposals in here,
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Usplash/YetAnotherUsplashArtworkProposal


IMO, 16 colors is too small, isn't Windows 95 uses 256 colors already?
