you mean a background picture for the console? – BrokenGlass Mar 31 '11 at 14:59

You could use a forms app that is essentially a big console with a background/watermark on the text window? – Yablargo Mar 31 '11 at 15:13

As Console applications aren't primarily intended to display graphics or images you might find some joy in implementing ASCII art - http://chris.com/ascii/ .
You could possibly implement a menu system that ensures the logo you design is displayed at the top of the console window at all times, with the menu options following downwards from it.
The following question may be of some use to you - Printing ASCII line art characters in a C# console application

I think there's some sample code in the last link I posted, I've personally never tried using ASCII code I'm afraid. – Jamie Keeling Apr 01 '11 at 17:08

No, the console window is by definition text-only.
(You can create an additional window, or rewrite as a Windows Forms or WPF app.)
