Just to add to this, I highly suggest you don't modify the RHEV branding 
directly like that, a new version will override you changes. The suggested 
method is to create your own branding package (possibly using the RHEV one as  
a base) and make the modifications that you want there. The branding packages 
are overlayed on top of each other, so if you make a new branding package your 
changes will be applied last.

A good overview of how to make branding packages can be found on the ovirt 
wiki [1].
