I just did this with Kibana 5.5, the file I changed was at: /home/elastic/kibana-5.5.0-linux-x86\_64/src/ui/public/images/kibana.svg I imported my .svg and renamed it to match the existing kibana.svg After changing it, I bounced Kibana, but no luck. To get the image to appear I had to force the JS to recompile, meaning I had to install a plugin. > **[PhaedrusTheGreek/transform\_vis](https://github.com/PhaedrusTheGreek/transform_vis)** > > transform\_vis - Transform Visualization for Kibana I chose this plugin, once the plugin was installed, I restarted Kibana, and my .svg was there! ---

I tried this and the loading logo changed instead of the logo on the left hand upper corner of the dashboard. Any idea why this could be happening? I'm using version 5.6 ---

I guess the Kibana executable need to be re-bundled/re-optimized after changes. Any idea how this can be acheived? ---

Go to the file : kibana-5.6.2/optimize/bundles/commons.style.css search - logo.kibana you will see a url in it . delete that url and replace it with your URL ---

You can also write a kibana plugin and introduce a 'hack' to override the default CSS. This will help you in maintenance as well as version upgrades. ---
