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.
