I have included the installer from Andre's space-sunrise just changed a few lines to copy my folder instead and my own write up for those new to changing the plymouth splash screen
Enjoy

youtube video of splash found here:

sorry for the bad quality of the youtube vid
took a look at the bikini smudge that was mentioned, spent more time at it so hopefully it looks better

Hi, I guess I screwed it up. I didn't noticed this was a plymouth theme for GTk2 while my system is debian wheezy which already has the gnome-shell installed till it was too late. I ran the install.sh script. Now my system doesn't turn on. My computer is a acer aspire 5336 4 gb ram. Packages & versions (This are the properties from the web page http://wiki.debian.org/DebianWheezy) apt: 0.9.7 kernel: Linux 3.2 gcc: 4.7.1 Gnome 3.4 libc: eglibc 2.13 X Server: Xorg R7.7 please if someone can help me my e-mail is luis.rascon.perez@gmail.com. Ps: Im not really good solving this sort of issues on linux, im kind of a newby.
For the liberal minded, and for anyone wanting to learn GIMP, its a fairly simple exercise to smudge out the bikini in this image. Several easy-to-learn techniques (in combination) do it convincingly.
