Customizing SharePoint 2016 SuiteBar with delegatecontrol

Question

I am working on branding SharePoint 2016 suit bar where I have below requirement.

1. I need to replace left side SharePoint text with icon with company url.
2. On right side of suit bar I need to add additional links with sub menu items under it.

I have used below reference article to override the SuiteBarBrandingDelegate and SuiteLinksDelegate controls in SharePoint 2016 onpremise environment but change doesnt seem to take any effect. Any one has any idea whether the delegate controls are still valid in SharePoint 2016

http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/sagarp/implement-custom-suitebarbranding-delegate-control-in-sharep/

Environment: SharePoint 2016 On Premise.

PS: I have jquery solution to do above functionality but the issue is the controls replaced only after the page is fully rendered. Attached html structure of 2016 seattle master page

Need to see more of the code you are using to comment on the issue. (e.g. are you using 2016 references like ControlAssembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=16.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" )

Moreover, with SharePoint 2016, there are PowerShell commands now available to achieve this:

$web = Get-SPWebApplication "http://mywebapp"
$web.SuiteNavBrandingLogoNavigationUrl ="http://mywebapp.sharepoint.com"
$web.SuiteNavBrandingLogoTitle = "MyWebApp"
$web.SuiteNavBrandingLogoUrl = "<<logo url>>"
$web.SuiteNavBrandingText ="MyNavText"
$web.Update()
