I have tried quite a few things now. Nothing seems to work. The tutorial I found are outdated. And its hard to actually find out how gnome actually loads this icon. I have a special theme. I changed the icon in the theme package. Did not work. Open for any hints.

I achieved that using the tips mentioned in the Archlinux Wiki:
Download
(filename is
starthere.png
)Alternatively get the artwork package using "
pacman -S archlinux-artwork
", this puts all artwork in the/usr/share/archlinux
directory, and resize your desired logo to 24x24px.Figure out which icon set you're using (Right-click desktop -> Change Background Image -> Theme -> Customize -> Icon). For example, Crux, *GNOME, High Contrast, High Contrast Inverse, Mist, etc.
Now make a backup of your current gnome icon in the correct directory. In the example below, I'm using the GNOME icons but adjust the directory structure accordingly for your icon set:
# mv /usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/places/start-here.png /usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/places/start-here.png-virgin
Copy
starthere.png
you just downloaded to the same directory renaming itstart-here.png
.# cp /path/to/starthere.png /usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/places/start-here.png
Restart your gnome-panels and the new Arch logo should be displayed:
# pkill gnome-panel
