Indeed, if you're using multiple different styles concurrently, an extension that tries to implement this behavior can potentially be less maintenance than trying to create customized versions of each style. As Talk19Zehn indicated, whether a particular style is maintaining it's site logo in a manner which is supported by the extension will be important to whether the extension can address all of the styles you're using.

Just as a caveat, although I have never personally attempted to any extension for this, the main "down side" I've seen reported (at least in the support thread for for Site Logo) is that it "fixes-up the logo at runtime." e.g. The original style displays as-is, but then the extension uses JQuery an other Javascript to find and update the elements on the page "after the fact."

Meaning the original default site logo displays first, and then gets "switched" as quickly as possible to the desired logo. In many cases, you may never notice that at all. But for some, there can be a visual lag during which you might briefly see the old logo before your desired logo when loading a page.

Of course that's solvable.... by creating a customized version of the underlying style which doesn't initially display the default logo. 😁 Arriving back at square one for maintaining a customized copy of the underlying style(s).

Logo: Alternative you can try out that extension: Sitelogo responsive

BTW: It can always be that individual adjustments are necessary, even if you use extensions. Yes, thats right, the style concept is crucial ...

Dayum, that ext was nice. Installed it and it is working. Will try it out some more!
