Robbie, assigning to you. This is a minor task and shouldn't get in the way of theme development. However, I'd love a simple, clean site-maintaince.tpl.php file that has the Watershed Now logo.
See the article lined in the comment above. You simply have to change a variable in your settings.php file to point to the Watershed parent theme when a DB connection fails, or the site is offline. Something really simple, clean - perhaps just white with the WN logo (the one on the D.O. project page) in the right-hand corner.
It doesn't work on the installation page. Only on maintenance mode and if the database is offline.
I've looked into several methods to change the installation theme and I haven't found one yet that works without patching core. I can keep looking if you want, but I think it's going to ultimately require that patch.

robbieferrero commentedAdded the templates. Stark white with watershed now logo.

robbieferrero commentedJust add this line to settings.php to test:
$conf['maintenance_theme'] = 'watershed';

seanberto commentedRobbie, can you confirm that this works on the install page as well?

seanberto commentedOkay. Don't worry about it. Not worth hacking core.
