Each time the computer starts up and boots into KDE Plasma 5, a big white K-Gear icon appears on black background before the desktop appears. I would like to replace this boot K-Gear icon with something else.

Please tell me how to replace this big white K-Gear icon. Please tell me where this big white K-Gear icon is stored.

By the way, I call this icon "the booting big white K-Gear icon on black". If there is any official name for it, let me know.

I use Debian 9. Does this icon appear on Kubuntu and other distros of Linux with KDE Plasma 5?
