CentOS - Nov 2015 - Changing the centos name on boot

I am kinda getting a tweaked distrubution with CentOS, So this is kinda
rebranding. I am not trying to change the hostname, trying to change the
System OS name in the on boot screen.

I have changed the grub configuration file and it reflects in the Boot OS
selection screen, login screen. But only in the on boot screen does it not
reflect. My search led me to something called plymouth, and the text (tri
colour) theme is loaded. Trying to still meddle with it. But with no luck.

there are various bitmap image files used for the boot screen, the gnome 
login screen, and so forth.   to change the branding, you'd need to 
recreate all these.

I have changed most of the things, the grub, issues. Since I run a minimal,
I dont really have a gnome login screen, all text based (no GUI). The only
place I am not able to trace is the booting time screen. Please do see an
attached screenshot in this mail
