Hi George

According to David Blatner at InDesign Secrets, the butterfly disappeared when CS3 was released in 2007. Here’s page with the history of the splash screens:

Didn't Framemaker 5 or 7 have a book and a butterfly for it's splashscreen I can't remember. I still have the programs somewhere but as I don't have a 32bit computer, the program has been relogated to history for me. It was a good programs for writing  long technial documents that required footnotes and indexing; it excelled.

 

Does the new InDesign handle indexing and footnotes?

The opening splash screen was replaced with "creative artwork" a few years back. Can't recall the last version that used the butterfly logo.
