A common question I've been asked a lot lately is how to replace the icon in the Report Manager to my company's logo.
It is actually fairly simple to do by following these steps:
1. On the server reporting services is installed on open the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportManager\images
2. Rename the file 48folderopen.jpg to anything else (Ex. 48folderopenOLD.jpg)
3. Resize your logo to be 48 x 48 pixels jpg file
4. Rename it 48folderopen.jpg
5. Copy your logo to the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportManager\images
Open the Report Manager again to see the change.

This is good to know. Thanks for sharing.

this is a great customization. Following on a similar vein, does anyone know how to modify the text on the main page, i.e. SQL Server Reporting Services --> <your company name/> Report Manager, or something similar?

If you select site settings in the top right of the report manager you can change the name.

Great article Devin, quick and easy way to personalize the site for your organization.
@cmayfield320 - To change the site header text browse to Report Manager, click on Site Settings, and change the text in the Name field. Click Apply to save changes.

Thanks Dear, i was looking for it. And is there any way that we can further customize the look and feel..? Please advice that as well.
Posted by knight_devin@hotmail.com on 25 November 2009
You sure can. If you're familiar with style sheets like in website design you can modify them here. C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportManager\Styles. Usually a good idea to make a copy before making changes to the style sheets.

Great article. I've been trying to customize my report manager for a while and this helps me a lot. But I haven't been able to find a way to make further customization on the area where the logo is. I want f.ex. to remove home/My subscription/help from the top right corner and stretch the company logo so that it coveres the whole top area. Which file do I need to alter to make those modifications?

I haven't tried that before but I did find this blog that may help with exactly what you're asking about. weblogs.asp.net/.../reporting-services-add-a-logo-to-the-report-manager.aspx

Is there an updated way to do this for SSRS 2008 R2? I cannot find the referenced image file in SSRS 2008 R2.
Posted by knight_devin@hotmail.com on 12 June 2010
Same way but in R2 the folder is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportManager\images and the image is called Folder_32

Devin, thanks for the update. I had already found that image file and replaced it. Problem now is that it appears to be the same image for the folder icons in the main report window. When I changed the image all of my icons in all of my windows/folders changed also. Although not terrible, it is not the same behaviour as in 2005. Any thoughts?
Thanks again,
Tim

For some reason, when I changed the logo on the server, Report Manager does not show the new logo on individual desktop. It does show on the server's IE. Any ideas?
Thanks
