Logo settings
The settings in Logos in Site administration are for defining two variants of a logo to be used as part of the interface for your site.
These settings are intended to allow a basic branding of the site to be independent of the theme used so that multiple themes could be used or tried without having to set the logo again in each one.
logo
A full logo to be used as decoration by some themes (such as core themes). This image can have a quite high resolution because it will be scaled down for use (and cached for performance). Logos that are wider than they are high usually give better results. Formats accepted: PNG and JPG.
Examples
logocompact
A compact version of the same logo as above, such as an emblem, shield or icon. The image should be clear even at small sizes. Formats accepted: PNG and JPG. This image will be the one that will be shown when the left navigation menu is collapsed.
