It’s part of your computer’s BIOS.

You could enter your computers BIOS (how you do this will depend on your computer, although it’s often done by holding down “Del” or “F2” just after you turn your computer on) and switch on “quick boot” – how you do this is entirely dependent on the make and model of your computer, which determines its BIOS for your intents and purposes.

the100thmonkey has the answer there.

For illustration, here are the two BIOS settings I might change on my system.

Quick Boot
Enabling this item allows the BIOS to skip some power on self tests and decrease the amount of text it wants to show,you

Full Screen Logo
Instead of scrolling text, my PC can show an “Asus” logo

If neither of the options (nor anything similar) that jaytkay mentioned are there in the BIOS (a.k.a. CMOS Setup), it may just be something you have to live with during reboots. This screen is from before the OS loads, so there isn’t anything like a registry setting or a program you could uninstall.
