Change OS logo in gnome settings

Im basically trying to put my own logo in gnome control center, about page. What I tried so far is editing /usr/lib/os-release which only helped in changing the preety name. What should I do?

It looks like the icon is hardwired to look for a specific file at /usr/share/pixmaps/zorin-os-logo-icon.png. Make a backup of that file just in case, and then replace that with whatever image you want, making sure it uses the same name. You could also make a symbolic link to the file itself, that might actually be better to make it obvious the original file was changed.

As for the distribution name, it's the "Pretty Name" in /etc/os-release. Here I've changed the logo for the one from Brave since I had it handy, at 128px resolution:

I just realized that the name still keeps the "Core" version though... I'm not sure where it picks that up from.
