Put the logo.png file in the same package as the class that's calling it

ProjectRoot
         src
             MyClass.java
             logo.png

and use

ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("logo.png"));
setIconImage(icon.getImage());

try this :

setIconImage(new ImageIcon(Main.class.getResource("logo.png").getPath()).getImage());

in this example Main is name of your class
