Put something like:

(setq inhibit-splash-screen t)

in your .emacs.  This has recently been answered on the mailing list
address@hidden (I think), which is a better forum for this kind of
question.  Please search the archives first.
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/)

Also the Emacs FAQ info file has the answer to many questions like this.

To others: Perhaps we should add the answer to this question there.
