I don't see any code? Maybe post what you are having trouble with exactly.

Well just make sure about a few things first
Lets assume you are creating your html project in a folder called Demo and you have your main html file called main.html in the same folder. In the same folder demo we also assume you have your logo called logo.jpg
So to call your logo i.e. logo.jpg in your main.html file you will use the tag within the body tags 

<img src="logo.jpg" alt="" />

If you have your image files in a subfolder called Images inside your Demo folder then you will refer to the image as 

<img src="Images/logo.jpg" alt="" />

Try looking into your html code too. Maybe you spelt something wrong (it is case sensitive) or forgot to close the tags.
If it still doesn't work you can post your code here so that we can look into it.
Hope that helps
