Logo for admin page is located in /skin/adminhtml/default/default/images/

You can rename/remove the default logo and upload your designed logo, remember to name the file as: logo.gif

In case you dont want to replace the original file, you can make change to code in /app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/page/header.phtml. Find the line $this->getSkinUrl('images/logo.gif') and change logo.gif to you new logo file's name, for example: newlogo.gif

Save changes and reload your admin page to see the new logo

If you want to update/change logo from Magento backend (without using FTP or without updating any file) then you can do the following:

  • Login to your Magento admin
  • Edit any static block (CMS -> Static Blocks)
  • There you will see Insert Image button. Click on it. enter image description here
  • Upload your logo image there. Suppose, your logo name is logo.png. Then, the image path will be http://your-website.com/media/wysiwyg/logo.png
  • Now, go to System -> Configuration -> Design -> Header
  • Update Logo Image Src to ../../../../../media/wysiwyg/logo.png. This has to be done because by default Magento fetches image from skin/frontend/smartwave/porto/images directory. enter image description here

You can replace the file directly on the server, for magento 1.9.2.1: root/skin/frontend/rwd/default/images/logo.gif

Replace that file with your logo.gif, be sure to name it the same.

First take Copy of magento's default logo.gif From path Project_Name\skin\adminhtml\default\default\images\logo.gif And then save your own image by Replacing logo.gif ,means give same name to Your image too like logo.gif.Its simple.

We don't want to override core code here, so let's do this the right way. Doing it properly will mean your change won't get overridden by a possible update carried out later on. It's a bit of a different process to doing this in the back-end than the front-end. But follow these steps and you can do it without touching core code.

Firstly, you're going to need to make a module in order to do it. Make your module, call it whatever you want and in your config.xml add this

<stores>
    <admin>
        <design>
            <package>
                <name>skin_name</name>
            </package>
            <theme>
                <default>skin_name</default>
            </theme>
        </design>
    </admin>
</stores>

Replace skin_name with something that makes sense. Then create this folder, replacing skin_name again:

{magento root}/skin/adminhtml/default/skin_name/images

Now, in the images folder you can create a GIF file named logo.gif which will override the default one. logo.gif is specifically stated in the adminhtml templates so if you want to change the file type/name you'll need to override the template that references the logo too.

Optional - Changing the file name/type

If you do want to change the image used, create this folder (same deal with replacing skin_name):

{magento root}/app/design/adminhtml/default/skin_name/template/page/

And create header.phtml within that folder. Copy the contents of:

{magento root}/app/design/adminhtml/default/defaut/template/page/header.phtml

and replace:

<?php echo $this->getSkinUrl('images/logo.gif') ?>

with your chosen image, located in the skin you created earlier like this: 

<?php echo $this->getSkinUrl('images/my_shiny_new_logo.png') ?>
