Why does logo_plot() not use video_display_bitmap()?
logo_plot() has its own code for rendering a bitmap, but this code is much less capable than video_display_bitmap(). Why doesn't logo_plot() just call video_display_bitmap() to draw the actual bitmap?

Because logo_plot() predates video_display_bitmap(), and the implementors of the latter function did not bother to clean up existing code?

Let's see, can you use a shell script for that or does it need a C program?

Ok, I just wanted to make sure there wasn't some technical limitations I didn't notice. I'll look into merging the two functions together.
