Hello El Komander,

First of all thanks a lot for creating and sharing the new written logo, much appreciated!

I did make a video tutorial on how to go about changing the Kontakt written logo but unfortunately, no matter how much I compress the video, I am not allowed to upload it so let me give you some pointers and a PDF that some kind soul gave me a few years back.

1) When using Kontakt 7 or 6 Portable, in order to be able to change the written logo I have been using a software called Resource Hacker which you can also find in the portable version at this link: https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/resource-hacker-portable

2) Be aware that inside the main Kontakt 7 Portable folder at this path (Kontakt 7.4.0 Portable\Kontakt 7\x64) you need to patch the two files called Kontakt 7.exe and Kontakt 7.vst3plugin.

3) When you open Resource Hacker click File>Open... and navigate to Kontakt 7.4.0 Portable\Kontakt 7\x64 and before selecting anything, on the bottom right-hand corner of the Window explorer's drop down menu choose All files (*.*) then select Kontakt 7.exe from the available file list and click Open.

4) At this point double-click Picture on the left-hand side panel of Resource Hacker and select number 304. Go to the top menu and click Action>Replace Resource...

5) In the Replace a resource... window, click Select File... and navigate to the place on your computer where you have stored the new 'written logo' picture (either JPG or PNG), after you have uploaded the new file, simply click Replace.

6) To make the change permanent, go to the top menu and click File>Save and close RH.

7) At this point wat this folder path Kontakt 7.4.0 Portable\Kontakt 7\x64 you would notice that there will be two Kontakt 7.exe files, the one called Kontakt 7.exe is the new one you have created with the replaced written logo and the other one called Kontakt 7_original.exe is the original file with the untouched written logo.

8) Repeat the same procedure for the Kontakt 7.vst3plugin file.

9) At the very end, once all the files have been edited, I normally delete all the files with the _original in the name and only keep in the x64 folder the edited ones.

Hope this is of any help, in case of doubts don't hesitate to ask ;-)

Best regards...

Unfortunately - this seems to no longer work on Kontakt 7.10.1. Resource Hacker shows far less items than in previous builds - only a few folders now, and none of them relating to the "Kontakt Portable" icon. Anyone have any luck finding where "Kontakt Portable" image is now located in the various files for more recent builds?
