The above method of randomization works...I just set it up....I'll post a sh3 commander collection of these preloaders so people can just drag and drop to their sh3 directories.....
I made a preloader template with ubisoft and trademark logo and posted it here:

Download the template and you can use it to make your own logo style sh3 preloaders....
The template is a .psd file so you will need photoshop edit it. Then just drag and drop you image you have to the labeled layer that says "drop pic above here" and then activate the layers you want to use. I made several of them for the "silent hunter III" trademark title orientation: top left, top right, center. Once you have the layout the way you want....save it as targa format (.tga) and name it Intro.tga and you are good to go.
Here is example of quick one I just did....
Where to drag the image and activate layers....
What it looks like afterwards...
