Thats the part that is not understandable. You cant simply save an image as SVG. SVG = Scalable vector graphics. This means your art is build from vectors. If you save pixel based stuff into an SVG file it totally fails it’s purpose. Your instructions are very unclear.

Assuming you want to compile ES from source code, it would work to copy the SVG to your pi. You have to place the SVG in the same folder where the original logo SVG is placed (/data/logo/ES_logo.svg). You will have to overwrite the file or change the path in the source code to point to your SVG. After that you can compile ES with your custom SVG.

Replacing the logo after compiling ES is and will not be possible. Maybe we will add a command line switch to turn off the loading screen completely.

I am not trying to privatize anything, you can fetch the source code and change it as you like. Of course you have to maintain your branch by yourself from that point on. As InsecureSpike wrote, we want to keep the logo because it’s the branding and it credits our work.

PS: Next time, be more accurate with your instructions, that way everyone benefits from it.

And thanks again for the compliment. All of your feedback is appreciated! I pointed out two solutions for your question. I hope it’s in your mind.
