I am trying to make a Ubuntu based distribution running KDE Desktop. I wish to modify the logo shown in Kinfocenter with my own distribution's logo. However I cannot find a script in /etc for kinfocenter and I have been trying to find a lot at different places but cannot find. I also downloaded sources, but was unable to find. I am using Plasma 5.10.4. Can someone tell where is the logo residing?

KInfocenter - Information About This System

KDE git: https://cgit.kde.org/kinfocenter.git/

For the customization the about-distro module is reading information from the kcm-about-distrorc configuration file.

kinfocenter/Modules/about-distro/README:

See example/*.

Essentially you place an rc file in the file system that defines the distro logo and website url. The file ought to be in some XDG_CONFIG_DIRS dir.

e.g. pkexec cp pwd/example/kcm-about-distrorc.ex /etc/xdg/kcm-about-distrorc

XDG Base Directory Specification: https://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

kinfocenter/Modules/about-distro/example/kcm-about-distrorc.ex

[General]
LogoPath=/home/me/kubuntu-circle-small.png
Website=http://www.kubuntu.org
Version=1.2.3
Variant=Unstable Branches

Example S.H.A.D.O ($HOME/.config/kcm-about-distrorc as the users configuration files take precedence over system entries of /etc/xdg/kcm-about-distrorc)

[General]
Name=S.H.A.D.O
LogoPath=/usr/share/about-distro/SHADO-logo.png

KInfocenter will show:
