Hi Anne:
I appreciate your comments.
In my experience, the store logo almost always remains the same. For
example, look at Amazon. No matter where you go on any Amazon site you
see the same store logo. The catalog and category image logos may
change, but the store logo (the one in the header at the top and left of
the page) remains the same. IMHO, no store owner would want more than
one company/store logo. After all, branding is all about getting people
to recognize your logo and then associate that with something. If you
have more than one store logo... well that just makes branding that much
more difficult.
BTW, I'm not saying don't allow setting of logo's per catalog. Certainly
we would want to preserve that. You can still do that on category
pages. IMHO, that is where that kind of branding belongs. I'm only
suggesting that whoever decided to take away the ability to set the
store logo (top left image on the store website header) in the Catalog
Manager did not consider the full impact of what they did.
Just my 2 cents.

Hi,
I can't think of any advantages for having the logo set for the
product store rather than for the catalog, as it is now (both in
Catalog Manager). I presume there was some reason the setting was
previously moved from product store to the catalog.
Setting per catalog rather than per store does make some sense to me.
I imagine a store might sell different lines of goods as different
catalogs, and might want a different logo for each. Perhaps a clothing
store has a different logo for their adult clothing versus their
children's clothing? Or a reseller of two or more well known brands
might use a different catalog for each brand, and want the brand logo
displayed depending on the user's chosen catalog.
I have no idea whether the above makes sense. Feel free to ignore it.
Just throwing the thought out there, because presumably someone had a
reason for moving the setting from the product store settings to the
catalog settings in Catalog Manager.
Cheers,
Anne.

Hi Scott:
This is a great idea, however I would argue that the logo in question is not
part of the theme (colors, fonts, layout) but rather a part of the content
for the header. I still say it should be put back into the store management
portion of the Catalog Manager. I have created a Jira issue #2898.
Just my 2 cents.

No that just specifies the visual theme set to use for the web site i.e.
ECOMMERCE or BACKOFFICE.
I think what we really need is some visual theme management screens where
you can change this sort of thing.

In the bottom part of the list, you can select the visual theme for your

Hi BJ:
I submitted a bug report. This is a bug. IMHO, themes should not disable
this feature. For example, they don't disable putting a Title and
Sub-title on the store's header. Why disable the dynamic logo
replacement?
