I agree that graphics (apart from a logo) should be handled outside
U-boot proper - my own rationale for this being "how essential is this
for the primary operation of a bootloader, which is to set the system
up for execution of the main payload as quickly as possible ?"

The bootloader can still manage to provide quick feedback on which
kind of boot it is performing, normal or upgrade, for instance by
loading a different logo for each case; any message such as "please
wait for upgrade start" can always be designed into the upgrade case 
logo on a comfy workstation -- preferably with Gimp or Inkscape. :)
