add logo to slides when using beamer

[Jeremy C. Reed]

I have been using beamer off and on for a few years. I am currently using
lyx 1.5.4 and my beamer is from pkgsrc package teTeX-texmf-3.0nb5.

I am trying to get a logo printed on every slide (PDF page). I have this
in a ERT:

\pgfdeclareimage[height=2cm]{ISC-gears2}{ISC-gears2.png}

\logo{\pgfuseimage{ISC-gears2}}

But I don't see any logo. I am reading through the beameruserguide.pdf.
Any suggestions/hints/examples would be appreciated.

I have had the same problem, but never got it to work. Could it be
related to the beamer-template one uses?

Yes. Some beamer styles display logos and some do not. IIRC it has to
do with the "outer theme" used by the style.

If you have a favorite theme that does not include logos, you might be
able to hack it to do so. I customized a few of the included themes to
display logos for my college (and also use our color scheme). If you
decide you need to do that, contact me directly and I'll pass you a
sample of what I did.

I am also interested in this. I tried myself to add a logo but had no
luck.

I have placed this in the preamble and if I remember well we need to pass an
absolute path to \pgfdeclareimage because the latex code is compile in a
directory different from the one where the file is...

directory different from the one where the file is...

I moevd to the preamble and used full path to image.

I looked at the log and saw:

Package pgf Warning: File
"/home/reed/presentations/dnssec-intro/ISC-gears2.png
" not found when defining image "ISC-gears2".
(pgf) Tried all extensions in "pdf:jpg:png" on input line
51.


Package pgf Warning: Missing width for image "ISC-gears2" in draft mode.
(pgf) Using 1cm instead on input line 51.



I got it to work by removing the ".png" from the filename.

Now I have a image in bottom right of each slide above the bottom border
(that has the presentation Title) and above the PDF control graphics.

The image now overlaps some of my content so I am going to maybe make it
smaller but at least I can now see it.

If you have any ideas on how to get it to be in background so text goes
over it, please let me know.

Thanks,
