Nothing we ship carried the logo: sisyphusd.exe showed Windows' blank icon, and the Windows firewall prompt named it only by its file name.

scripts/make-icons.py draws every icon from assets/logo.png: an .icns for macOS (with the margin macOS icons leave), an .ico for Windows, PNGs for Linux. The logo is set on a dark rounded plate the colour of the app's window, because a glowing figure on nothing disappears on a light taskbar. The output is committed.
apps/sisyphusd/rsrc_windows_{amd64,arm64}.syso, made by go-winres from winres/winres.json, give the Windows daemon its icon, a manifest, and the description "Sisyphus node" by "Sisyphus Network". Go links them by itself; other systems are untouched.
docs/development.md says how to redraw them.

Checked here: the Windows amd64 and arm64 daemons and the Linux one build, and the strings are in the Windows binary. Not yet seen on a Windows desktop.

The files under apps/sisyphus/build/ are used by the next PR, which wires them into the desktop packages.
