VLbsplash-switch will show the files names in /etc/bootsplash/themes whether they are configured correctly not.
Inside each theme's directory should be two files a 'config' file and a 'images' file.
'config' contains 3 files each with a configure script for different resolutions.
Look in /etc/bootsplash/themes/std/config for an example.
When a theme is choosen the 'config' file for that theme is really what determines what image you see on boot up.
My guess is 'config' has been altered in your 'std' file.

Once you have copied to each of the above as instructed, try switching to the std theme again in VLbootsplash-switch.
If it works then we know the 'config' file for your custom theme should be the next thing we look at.

Also, review about 2/3rd in the custom boot splash video... what needs to be changed in the .config file when a custom theme is made.
