Turns out this is an interesting --- bug.

The icon image names are identified in tdebase/ksplashml/themeengine/objkstheme.cpp. The last image file name is go, or go.png. For whatever reason, some of the 8 icon names are theme icons and others are generic images from tdebase and tdelibs.

The last image name, go.png, is theme dependent.

I'm using crystalsvg and oddly, that theme does not have a go.png icon. Hence, the mime-empty.png icon is displayed for the splash image.

Creating new go.png images was straightforward because they should be duplicates of the kmenu.png images. All of the kmenu.png images have been updated for branding. Simple copy-and-rename and rebuild the tdelibs package. I have already pushed the new images to GIT and run the splash test in KControl.

The remaining icon themes are installed by tdeartwork. All of the go.png icons --- and kmenu.png icons, which all are the same, need branding updates. All of them show a gear with a big K.
