At the very least, add the game banner to the loading screen, with the same colors that 4.11 and below used for the particular IWAD, so that customization continues to be supported.

https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=79020 - I have also brought this up, and some information about what's going on is here. Not sure what it indicates for the possibility or speed of this getting added back in, but needless to say I support this as well for reasons in my initial post. V:

Agreed.

It might be notable that GZDoom already has the ability to emulate text mode, per its ability to display the ENDOOM screen.

If you want a startup log you can start GZDoom with the '-stdout' command line option. We're gotta make this one a persistent CVAR so it can be used automatically.

Will it be able to show the IWAD banner in color like previously? If not consider adding it to the loading screen.
