Genuine question: why do you feel the login screen is a good place to
promote any kind of positive brand association? All I usually want to do
from that screen is to get out of it as quickly and seamlessly as
possible. Under this perspective, having it plainly unbranded and
focused exclusively on its task — get me to my session and my work —
makes sense to me.
