Sorry for my late answer...
Penguin logo is OK, the artefact is just under the penguin and is
looking like a blinking cursor until login message is displayed. At that
time it becomes a kind of uggly rectangular black and white lines mix,
overlapping logging message.
I will follow Sascha's advise and try to play with i.MX51 hardware cursor.
