That wouldn't be easy to do. In struct vc_data (data about VC tty device) you have vc_top and vc_bottom. Normally vc_top is 0 and vc_bottom is that last row on your screen. For the logo we move vc_top down a little bit. The problem is after we start minigetty on the various /dev/ttyX as soon as you VC switch you reintialize the screen to the standard behavior of vc_top = 0 and vc_bottom is the last row. It would take hacks to the upper console layer to do that. You can write a userland app to do this. There are esc sequence that change vc_top. You could even alter minigetty if you want.
