I scoured the net, found my favorite images is as big as possible resoultion. Then I resized the images in Gimp. Some I have cropped, for some images I have made white background on sides, others I have re-sampled ...
I was to lazy to scan the book I own ;-)
The result was images in greyscale, 600x800 pixels big. Then I used Imagemagick command 'convert' to make images use 3 bits gray and saved them in bmp. You can use paint program in Windows, I think
I can post convert command later from different comp.
Then I uploaded the images into /system/logo directory, and I choose "random image" from "shutdown logo" menu.
