I just tested this in the 5.0.0 release and was able to change the kibana.svg logo file and see the results in Kibana. Here's what I did; I used InkScape to edit src/ui/public/images/kibana.svg and saved it. I copied that modified file to optimize/bundles/src/ui/public/images on top of the kibana.svg that was there. I refresh my browser and saw the modified image. Then, just to be sure, I stopped Kibana, started Kibana, refreshed my browser, and saw the modified image. Then I stopped Kibana again, deleted everything from the optimize directory, started Kibana, waited for Optimizing to finish, refreshed my browser, and saw the modified image. Lee ---

@LeeDr We're talking about the icon that shows up in your tab. It's named 'elk.ico' ---

I just completed a similar set of steps to change elk.ico in Kibana 4.6.1 on Ubuntu (installed from .deb package); I edited the icon at /opt/kibana/src/ui/public/images/elk.ico (if you're on a different platform or just un-tarred the tar.gz your path may be different) I saved my edit on top of that same elk.ico file. I copied that file to /opt/kibana/optimize/bundles/src/ui/public/images/elk.ico I restarted Kibana service (not sure if this was necessary). I opened Chromium browser and cleared all my cache and history. I opened Kibana in that browser, and it shows the modified icon on the tab and on bookmarks bar where I just saved it to. Now I refreshed Kibana in Firefox without closing the tab or clearing history. I see the old tab icon. I closed that Firefox tab and reopened Kibana and I see the modified icon. Lee ---

Thanks @LeeDr that did work for me, I may have had the incorrect elk.ico file saved locally. Thanks for the help. ---

Yup, only kibana.svg. You can convert it with inkscape. 🙂 ---

Did the kibana.svg size requirement change in Kibana 5.x version? I changed it as suggested to 252x45 px and it looks half of the logo place in the top left corner. Thanks ---

Hi all, Has anyone been able to change the logo image on the top left hand corner in Kibana 5.4.0 yet? ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/2/c21e5c0b736bd2e8b9352b0992d46a1943d8ccaf.png) I haven't had any success by following the instructions mentioned above. Thanks ---

You can change it by replacing the file "0cebf3d61338c454670b1c5bdf5d6d8d.svg" present under the directory "/usr/share/kibana/optimize/bundles/".Images with png extension works as well.Refreshing the browser alone is sufficient. Tested on ESv5.4 ---

i prefer change in source, becasue if u replace logon in optimize bundles, when u install or remove, i need replace logo again. If u want change logo from source, u need edit file > [kibana directory]/src/ui/views/chrome.jade Find class > .kibanaWelcomeLogo u can see this line > background-image: url("here\_is\_image\_base\_64."); U need convert ur logo to base 64 and rplace content ---

Like as the solution from Tat Dat Pham, you can also modify [kibana directory]/src/ui/views/ **ui\_app**.jade At the line 96: `| Loading MY fancy statistics` for edditing you own loading dashboard text At line 107: include your own style file `bundleFile('MY.style.css');` it would look like this: ` var files = [ bundleFile('commons.style.css'),` **bundleFile('MY.style.css'),** ` bundleFile('#{app.id}.style.css'), bundleFile('commons.bundle.js'), bundleFile('#{app.id}.bundle.js') ];` and in the path Daya mentioned > "/usr/share/kibana/optimize/bundles/" include your `MY.style.css` file. In your own CSS file you can override every Style you want like ` .global-nav .logo-small.kibana, .global-nav .logo.kibana { background-color:#333333; /* override the pink background */ background-image: url(MY_Logo.svg); /* replace kibana Logo */ }` So there is no need to _remove_ any kibana's original files, for your content. When you modified the `.jade` files you need to restart Elasticsearch. After that you can edit your `MY.style.css` file and simply reload your browser window for styling changes. ---

I like this technique, but when kibana re-optimizes for whatever reason, the new files go away. Where should the My.style.css and MY\_Logo.svg files be put in the kibana/src folder so that they get copied into optimize/bundles during the bundle process? ---

Speaking of color changes, where should I look to change the color of the pink loading bar that appears at the top of the page? ![pink_loading_bar](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/d/fdf8baf4679458f354fbd2eec125f8c4b712589d.png) ---
