How can I remove the logo image in the dashboard package?

Question

I'd like to remove the image of the Emacs cow from the startup screen, but I want to keep my recent files, bookmarks, and agenda. Currently, I'm using the dashboard package with use-package.

My current configuration:

(use-package dashboard
  :ensure t
  :config
  (dashboard-setup-startup-hook)
  (setq initial-buffer-choice (lambda () (get-buffer "*dashboard*"))))

Thanks

It's not a cow, it's a [gnu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnu). — db48x, Nov 22 '18 at 15:24

Try (setq dashboard-startup-banner nil) with this variable you can set the image or text at startup. See the docs of that variable for details.

As far as I understand the package comes with its own set of startup/images but this also can be adjusted to use own stuff.

Thanks! This worked. I don't have the reputation to do so, but this should be marked as the correct answer. – SillyPointer Nov 22 '18 at 21:43

I don't know anything about the dashboard package, but you can control what image is used on the default splash screen by setting fancy-splash-image. It's probably a safe assumption that dashboard will respect the same setting.

In your :config commands add (setq dashboard-startup-banner 'nil).
