HI there,
I'm still looking around for previous threads on it, but I cannot get a logo to load.
I'd start with asking:
1. preferred image format
2. max image size / aspect ratio?
3. image name? (are we replacing smflogo.png or using any unique name)
4. url: need it be the local path as SMF begins to preload, or must I put the full url with the scheme in front?
I do apologize if this has been covered extensively elsewhere.

Does that help any?
Not quite. But, I did solve it.
for some reason, using the URL with the public_html/blah/blah/images/xxxx.png wasn't doing it.
If I just put the domain name and the image name it worked fine. WAyyyy too big, but that's another story. I'm actually closing this thread in light of a new thread asking about logo sizes for "ant's mutant curve theme" for better responsiveness..
But, thank you for answering on the first day. I do appreciate it.
That's because your first text is a path, not a url
Quite true.
I expected SMF to know it was starting from the domain's root and just accept the path. In fact, that's how the URL was displayed in the theme's GUI when I installed it--leaving me to just change the image folder and name.
but you can't use public_html in a URL - even a relative URL
