Since resource files are directly downloaded by the browser, you cannot put them somewhere below the WEB-INF folder.

The name of the application’s favorite icon. The icon is displayed in the browser’s address bar and on browser tabs, as well as for shortcuts to Web Center pages in the file system. |
resourceLogo |
The application logo in the header top section. |
The size of the default application logo is 88 by 30 pixels.If your logo is of a different size it will be re-sized for display and might look distorted.You can adjust the display size to some extent via CSS styles “headerCompanyLogo” and “headerCompanyLogoImage”.
