Thanks for all the feedback regarding this. I'm actually beginning to think an html image tag would be better suited to mark-up a company logo and reserving the <h1> for the main page title, this seems to make more sense to me after giving it more thought. Also most of the sites I build use CMS's and clients will go ahead and use a <h1> anyway for the top level heading in the editable area therefore the logical order of headers is broken. At the end of the day semantics means a lot more to me than SEO.
On a side note I find I have to insert an image tag (for the logo) for the print version as most clients aren't happy about showing plain text from the <h1> as we all know that printing background images is turned off by default.

I just wanted to get an idea of how many people actually do this compared to using a html image tag? I believe a <h1> is more semantically correct however I'd be interested in seeing what other people on this list think.
