I have had success in the past randomizing things that weren't intended to be random using a script. Keep all of your startup videos in one folder. Set Kodi to use a generic named video (IE introvid.avi) in a location NOT in your folder of startup videos. Write a script or bat file to choose a random video from the startup video folder and copy (overwrite) the introvid.avi with the random file. You would then have the script or bat file launch Kodi.

We had a number of "demo" videos running during the Southern California Linux Expo this last weekend, and mixed into the playlist of those videos were various animations from this thread (I think nearly all of them as of last weekend). It really made our booth look awesome to have those animated logos pop up on screen!
Thank you to our awesome community for doing these, and keep the submissions coming!

This is really cool. I got to know by the current RPi built, which already includes one of the animations.
One thought - how will the splash animation play along the splashscreen? With regards to colors used and overall color scheme. I am on Isegard built now and the splash animation does not go well together with the splash screen.
Any idea on the direction you guys want to take this for the future? Also, has a decision been taken to include an animation at some point in the future?
