+Romain, which grid image are you meaning? The current background or
+plymouth theme?
+
+I have always like this image, which is darker but not very dark:
+http://www.flickr.com/photos/54316230@N06/5410393149/in/photostream
+
+Also, this icon is somewhat cleaner than the one that is current used
+in the the post plymouth stages:
