Interesting you should mention Vulcan which is actually a part of
Devuan's history! Our first Valentine's Day Alpha was released about the
time of Leonard Nimoy's death and was commemorated with this splash
screen:

The fork is yours to do with as you please. Change the splash or don't.
I wasn't thinking that far ahead. Mostly just wanting to do something
nice for fsmithred and maybe SLiM too. I have "retired" from the Devuan
theming but just did a quickie to play with one of my favorite Devuan
color schemes that hasn't been used for a release yet (and possibly
never will . . . ).
