Hello
I have spent the last few hours trying to crack the mysteries surrounding changing the logo in a theme.
I have tried alot of the recommendations on from the forums etc and they often say the same thing.
The main one that doesn't work and i can't figure out why is by simply changing the name of my image to "logo.png" in the theme directory.
I the methods using several themes but it won't work with any of them.
Thanks in advance
AMRIT

are you sure you have the right graphic?
maybe you have changed the wrong graphic, look for all the png and gif files in the theme page and play with them. other than that i couldnt tell you. good luck!
Theme logo upload feature
Have you tried uploading a logo or specifying a filepath from the theme configuration page?
In Drupal 5 http://example.com/?q=admin/build/themes/settings under 'Logo image settings'

Sounds to me like a cacheing
Sounds to me like a cacheing issue. I know I've banged my head against the wall many a time because my wireless router sometimes goes overboard in cacheing. It could also be your browser cacheing on you, couldn't it? Might want to 1) try to delete your local files (you've probably got the old logo.png in there) and 2) reboot the router.
Right Graphic and Caching
Im pretty sure i've got the right graphic as when i change it, a "home" link on its own is displayed. This is also the reason why i don't think it's a caching issue because when i change it this link shows.
Maybe....
This is a stretch, so don't take offense if I'm wrong.
Are you sure the file is RGB and not CMYK? Sometimes our graphic designers save jpgs and pngs as CMYK and browsers won't render them.

Hmmm
I had a look but it doesn't seem to matter.
when i take the "screenshot" image and rename it "drupal", it works, but it doesn't seem to take any other image in.
Got It
It was all my own stupidity! I didn't realise that case sensitivity came down to file extensions aswell(.PNG instead of .png), and it didnt help with the fact i was using explorer without seeing the extensions.
