I don't think each core draws a logo. They're all drawn from fbcon_switch().

Hmm... I do not really have a lot experience in this area ... but why
is the logo only drawed when booting? Is there nothing like a "redraw"
of it?

When do you want to redraw it? On VC switch (it's drawn on the first call
only, hence it disappears if you switch VC and back)?
Until when should it be redrawn?
