How to disable Spacemacs logo from splash screen?

Question

I want to remove the image because it unnecessarily takes space. I've tried fancy-splash-image nil but it didn't work.

What should I place in my .spacemacs (or wherever) and in which part.

Answer 1

There's a variable called dotspacemacs-startup-banner that you can set at your initialisation file in order to remove the banner.

Your initialisation file is either ~/.spacemacs or ~/.spacemacs.d/init.el. There you'll find a function called dotspacemacs/init which contains a list of variables and their values (with an explanation what each of them do), you just need to find dotspacemacs-startup-banner and replace its value to nil.

Here is the full documentation of the variable for the sake of completeness

dotspacemacs-startup-banner is a variable defined in ‘core-dotspacemacs.el’. Its value is ‘official’

Documentation: Specify the startup banner. Default value is ‘official’, it displays the official spacemacs logo. An integer value is the index of text banner, ‘random’ chooses a random text banner in ‘core/banners’ directory. A string value must be a path to a .PNG file. If the value is nil then no banner is displayed.
