multiple installs of (nearly) the same app

I made an app (com.example) using Android Studio 2.2. This app displays a logo (PNG image) on the main activity. Now i want to make a new package of the same app in order to install both on my device. there are two differences: the logo and the label. i tried to change the package name in manifest, from:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example">

to

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.newLogo">

sadly it break all 

import static com.example.R.string.MyGreateString;

references. is there a smart way to avoid the rename of all imports or to rename a package?

Create a gradle flavor for each build type in each app (see documentation for an explanation) and define an applicationId for each flavor:

productFlavors {
    A {
         applicationId "com.example.newLogo"
    }
    B {
         applicationId "com.example"
    }
}
