At the moment there is no officially supported way to change the logo. However, this is a frequently requested feature, so we have [a Github issue](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/17879) if you'd like to follow along for any future updates. There are [several threads here in the forums](https://discuss.elastic.co/search?q=kibana%20logo%20category%3A7) going over ways you can make this customization by changing the source code. Notably this thread tends to be updated quite frequently with instructions for new releases: [Replace the kibana logo?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/replace-the-kibana-logo/27547) In 7.12.1 the SVG logo lives here: [kibana/elastic\_mark.tsx at v7.12.1 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/v7.12.1/src/core/public/chrome/ui/header/elastic_mark.tsx) I believe altering this SVG and [re-building Kibana](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/building-kibana.html) would be all you need to do, but this isn't something I've tested. ---

There is no file name elastic\_mark.tsx. Please suggest any other file ![path](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/6/76896443e8631ab96e84bb0ac4f1ef425bd7c189.png) ---

The location in the distribution, which is already built, is different from the location in the source. This is where it can be found in the source: [kibana/elastic\_mark.tsx at v7.12.1 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/v7.12.1/src/core/public/chrome/ui/header/elastic_mark.tsx) My suggestion is to clone the Kibana repo, make the change, and re-build Kibana from source. I'm not sure there's going to be an easy way to change the logo from the distribution -- I believe the SVG is inlined so you can't just overwrite a static image file somewhere. It would require digging through the built JavaScript files and finding the exact location where the logo SVG lives (which is possible, just a bit more challenging). ---

> [@Kanishk\_Madan](#): > > the file elastic\_mark is not there in v7.12.1 I linked to this file in my comment above: [Elastic](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/v7.12.1/src/core/public/chrome/ui/header/elastic_mark.tsx) Have you cloned the Kibana repo yet? You will not find this file in the distribution. ```auto git clone https://github.com/elastic/kibana.git git checkout v7.12.1 yarn kbn bootstrap ``` > [@Kanishk\_Madan](#): > > where is the file to change login elastic logo The login logo lives in this file (again, this is in the Kibana source and not the distribution, which you'd need to clone and modify): [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/v7.12.1/x-pack/plugins/security/public/authentication/login/login\_page.tsx#L94-L96](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/v7.12.1/x-pack/plugins/security/public/authentication/login/login_page.tsx#L94-L96) ---
