What is the right place to change Chromium application name, program
title, .exe file name, and logo image. I guess there is place in
source code for windows, where it could be changed centralized for
whole project?

In the case of Windows, many of these come from the base BrowserDistribution class:


(GetApplicationName(), GetAppShortCutName(), GetIconIndex(), etc).

You can change the icons by using Resource Hacker.

Open up the folder where chromium is installed and rename the .exe (windows) or .app (macos) to whateveryouwhat keep the .exe part or it will not work (or .app for macos) 
to change the icon press right click and select Properties then click on the General tab, click Change Icon.
Thats it.
