I found a way , Remember it's a Linux based system and nothing is hidden.

There is a file named "index.theme" in the usr/share/icons/hicolor

Using the terminal open the file.

Use command: sudo nano /usr/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme

When the file opens edit the 4th line "Hidden=True" change it to False then press ctrl+x , yes, ctrl+m

Hope this helps , worked for me.

i was browsing system files and i discovered the directory of the main logos: /usr/share/raspberrypi-artwork NOTE: You will need admin rights to modify this files

The launch is the Menu Icon.

Thanks @scitronboy for suggesting me to awnser my own question ;)

NOTE: Keep images in their original format and name, you can't replace example.png with example.jpg

first, have your Mercedes logo downloaded, then follow these instructions:

  1. right-click in a blank space on the taskbar, or on the clock in the upper right corner.
  2. click on Panel Settings
  3. slect the Panel Applets tab.
  4. select Menu in the list, and then click on Preferences to the right.
  5. in the box that pops up, click browse, navigate to your image and choose it, then click ok, then close.

you should now have a different menu icon!!

EDIT: (Untested) @BotSpot below pointed out that you can just right click on the menu icon to access preferences instead.
