by "title screen" you mean this one over here?

Image

what you need to do first, is extract all graphics and stuff from the executable (if you haven't already done this). Follow these simple steps over here: shikadi.net/keenwiki/Ceilick's_Keen_Galaxy_Modding_Tutorial#Setting_Up_Files_and_Folders + shikadi.net/keenwiki/Ceilick's_Keen_Galaxy_Modding_Tutorial#Editing_Graphics_and_Text

afterwards simply take a look into your bmp folder and search for a bitmap with the name 4BMP0103.BMP.
Open it within a graphics editor tool of your choice (like paint, gimp, photoshop etc.) and start redrawing it.

when done, re-import it. again check the tutorial for this step.

yeah... that's a thing.
well, you need to make sure that you use the specific EGA colour palette. otherwise weird things might just happen.
(check this: shikadi.net/moddingwiki/EGA_Palette)

I assume you simply copied & pasted these graphics, didn't you?!
if so, what kind of graphics editor do you use? if it's paint, please check the holy tutorial again, cause in this case you need to tweak ms paint a bit to work properly for your modding purposes: shikadi.net/keenwiki/Ceilick's_Keen_Galaxy_Modding_Tutorial#Drawing_Tools
