Hi Emrah,
you may try following options (for any application servers, like Tomcat, Glassfish, JBoss, Resin, Geronimo, Jetty, JonAS, etc.).
Customize Default Images
By the way, there are a set of default images you may want to override. Of course, you would be able to customize the portal in many ways without involving any Java code.
As shown in above code, the property image.default.spacer sets the location of the default spacer image that is used for missing images; the property image.default.company.logo sets the location of the default company logo image that is used for missing company logo images; the property image.default.organization.logo sets the location of the default organization logo image that is used for missing organization logo images; while both image.default.user.female.portrait and image.default.user.male.portrait set the locations of the default user portrait images that are used for missing user portrait images. Note that these images must be available in the class path.
How to customize default images? There are two options to override default images.
1) Create a class path ${class.path} equal to /com/liferay/portal/dependencies under the folder $PORTAL_ROOT_HOME/WEB_INF/classes first; and then put customized images as same image file name in the class path ${class.path};
2) Override properties with a class path ${class.path} plus customized image file names in portal-ext.properties first; and then create the class path ${class.path} under the folder $PORTAL_ROOT_HOME/WEB_INF/classes and put customized images in it.
For example, supposed that you have your own company logo named "PalmTree_logo.png", you’re going to override default company logo with your company logo.
For the first option, you create a class path ${class.path} equal to /com/liferay/portal/dependencies under the folder $PORTAL_ROOT_HOME/WEB_INF/classes; copy “PalmTree_logo.png” to ${class.path}, and rename “PalmTree_logo.png” to “company_logo.png”.
For the second option, supposed that the class path ${class.path} is equal to com/liferay/portal/dependencies/, you could add the following line at the end of portal-ext.properties; create the class path ${class.path} under the folder $PORTAL_ROOT_HOME/WEB_INF/classes and copy “PalmTree_logo.png” to ${class.path}.
In the same pattern, you would be able to customize other default images as well.

Hi Jonas,
thank you for your suggestions, I was finally able to change Liferay´s default logo.
Now I'd like to go a step further and I want to set the classpath to $PORTAL_ROOT_HOME/WEB_INF/classes and build a directory structure, where my own logo is located, automatically while Liferay is deployed into a clean Tomcat 6.x-Server from the SVN. What modifications in the SVN-Repository must I do in order to do this steps automatically?
Thank you in advance!
