You can do a:
  locate mailman.jpg

to find where the icons are stored on your system.  On mine they are
mixed in with all the icons for apache:
  /var/www/icons/

Create your own icon and name it mailman.jpg then copy it over the
existing.

Otherwise, you can take the following bit from
~mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py and put it into mm_cfg.py (then edit it):

  # Should image logos be used?  Set this to 0 to disable
  # image logos from "our sponsors" and just use textual
  # links instead (this will also disable the shortcut
  # "favicon").  Otherwise, this should contain the URL
  # base path to the logo images (and must contain the
  # trailing slash)..  If you want to disable Mailman's
  # logo footer altogther, hack 
  #     Mailman/htmlformat.py:MailmanLogo()
  # which also contains the hardcoded links and image names.
  IMAGE_LOGOS = '/icons/'

  # The name of the Mailman favicon
  SHORTCUT_ICON = 'mm-icon.png'

  # Don't change MAILMAN_URL, unless you want to point it
  # at one of the mirrors.
  MAILMAN_URL = 'http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/index.html'
  #MAILMAN_URL = 'http://www.list.org/'
  #MAILMAN_URL = 'http://mailman.sf.net/'


The observant among us will also notice that it points you to a local
file which you can feel free to hack as well.

Good luck - Jon Carnes
