I have a kernel already designed and am now developing a bootloader. I would like to know, in the bootloader, instead of displaying text, is there any way to display a small image, while the kernel is loading?

Well yes, it’s possible, but how to do so will depend completely on your hardware platform and your kernel.
For usual x86-type hardware, have a look here: Drawing In Protected Mode. The Video category on that Wiki has other valuable resources.
