VSPackage Branding

VSPackages can display icons and textual information about products (together called logos) in the Visual Studio splash screen and the Help About dialog box. For every product you add as a VSPackage, you can add one logo. The splash screen and Help About dialog box contain logos for the Visual Studio core products and other installed products.
