    Quick hack in Python:

    Code:
    import os
    path = "C:/Kontakt8"
    
    path = path + "/Kontakt 8/x64/"
    print(path)
    
    f = open(path + "Kontakt 8.vst3plugin", "rb")
    s = f.read()
    s = s.replace(b'P  O  R  T  A  B  L  E</text>', b'                      </text>')
    f.close()
    
    f = open(path + "Kontakt 8 Blabla.tmp", "wb")
    f.write(s)
    f.close()
    
    os.rename(path + "Kontakt 8.vst3plugin", path + "Kontakt 8.vst3plugin.backup")
    os.rename(path + "Kontakt 8 Blabla.tmp", path + "Kontakt 8.vst3plugin")

    Oh I see... text tag in the svg file. It's not even compressed in the .exe/vst3 ?

    Nicely done like always :wink:

    You need to:
    ( 0. make a backup copy of kontakt 8.exe, like kontakt 8.backup.exe in case things go south)
    1. open kontakt 8.exe with a binary editor
    2. search for "P O R T A B L E</text>" (without quotes)
    3. replace it for what you want KEEPING THE SAME LENGTH (universal rule when editing exe/dll/vst3 files):
    Code:
    P  O  R  T  A  B  L  E</text> -> 29 bytes/characters
    XOROME Rocks!         </text> -> good, still 29 bytes/characters
    Xupito Rocks more than Xorome</text> -> wrong, 37 characters
    Shutup Xupito!        </text> -> right, 29 bytes/characters
    
    3. save

    PS. this is the same for the .exe and .vst3

    there is also a change about size and position, not only the text part.
    it is better with provided solutions, but still not as the original logo.
