I've been struggling all day trying to build Chromium and understand how branding works, but no luck with the later one.
The question is: how can I change the application name, logo and default search engine in the source files of Chromium ?

Chromium is a free and open-source web browser project, mainly developed and maintained by Google.
Can I Trust Chromium? The Chromium browser itself won't harm your machine as long as you download it from a trusted source. Since it's intended for developers, it's less stable and less secure than most browsers, and may put you at a higher risk of a malware infection.
Google developers take the Chromium source code and add their proprietary code – thus resulting in Chrome which has more features and add-ons than Chromium. For example, Chrome updates automatically can track browsing data and provides native support for Flash. Chromium does none of this.

How to change Chromium app name and logo?
"What is the right place to change Chromium application name, program title, .exe file name, and logo image. I guess there is place in source code for windows, where it could be changed centralized for whole project?"

There isn't a centralized place to change all at once. I'll advise you to go through .grd files search for .ico file an look at resources folder under chrome/browser/ it will give you a good start. There are actually more places needs to be changed and I didn't found any doc describing the process.
There are some branding constants which are in the source itself, Like the folder name under app data which is embedded inside the code itself.
