What about the icons? I assume you didn't create the MS Windows logo ;-)

We would need this SVG source (it isn't in the tarball). Do you still have
it?

Great! I tried to adapt them to make something simpler that would be added
to GRUB tree, but I'm totally incompetent to make beautiful artwork. Our
current options are:
- Make a simple, unifont-based "GRUB theme" that could be added to our
official tree and serve as reference for others. It should include the
basic graphical elements like terminal-box and linear/circular counters.
- Have Debian include a package of themes for GRUB, based on your work.
For that we would require that the parts you made are separated in a
new tarball, and a suitable license be included.
