Yup, it's a little bit frustrating to see a logo for a long time. I've worked on Unity version 2018.31f, and there, it's easily removable if you are using Unity Pro.

To remove the logo in Unity Pro , open your Unity WebGL project, Go to File -> Build Settings -> Player settings . You'll see settings for WebGL and a Splash Image column in that window, as shown in this picture.

As you can see in Splash Image settings, show splash screen column is inaccessible for me to tick/untick. The same goes with Show Unity Logo. This is because I'm currently using a free version of Unity. But in the Unity Pro version, you can untick this option and make that Unity Logo screen hidden.

If you are using the Unity free version, ensure a minimum Logo Duration of 2-sec , at least in the accessible version of Unity.

It is not possible to skip the whole loading screen. As mentioned in the comments you can modify your UnityLoader.js - you can find this script in the Build folder of your build.

To read the code I recommend this beautifier

I just opend my build and found the object Progress in line 1849. Perhaps you have a different version and it is at a different line. Search for Progress

Here you can see what Unity is doing. In the Progress.update they are updating the ProgressBar.

At all it is not easy to read.

The easy way to customize you loading screen is to replace the graphics under TemplateData - here you can copy your own pictures. The names have to be the same as the original filenames: (default is light)

• progressLogo.Light.png
• progressFull.Light.png
• progressEmpty.Light.png

I think this could be a solution for you?
