Hi, if your Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini is first time locked with network provider bundle, then they already install their logo at boot screen. Basically this Logo include with the bootloader. If you wish to remove it, you should do root and flash the firmware or operating system with the other one. But we are really not recommend to do that because some wrong steps can make problems at your phone. Some custom rom could make your phone functions can not work perfectly as well. Therefore, if you still can use your Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini without problems, then we suggest leave the network provider Boot Logo appear and you can use your phone for daily activity.
