Trivial? Agreed.
Preferable? Of course!
Resource editor? What's that? ( 😉 )

Though not knowing if Opera Software approves, I won't discuss [t further.

I was able to find a way to change it for all desktop icons by searching the web. The only icon that it didn't change is the red "O" at the top left of the Opera browser window, so, still hoping that Opera developers add an option to select a desired icon that fits a user's preference.

That blue logo you saw is usually for beta or special promotional builds. The only way to change it yourself is by manually replacing the app icon in your OS and editing the splash screen files, but that requires modifying Opera’s program files, which can be reset after updates.
