I mean, I don't know how it's stored, but it does still have a boot logo. I guess if it only supports really tiny logo files for whatever reason that reduces the amount of code an attacker can give it, but that doesn't feel like a very good defense. Edit: Oh, or if the older firmwares only supported a logo that was hardcoded into the image and that can't be updated separately, that might help. Still coincidental, though; you certainly could have a user-controlled logo with BIOS, and as the article notes, there are UEFI implementations that also hardcode the logo.
