| Feb 17, 2012 at 2:46 | comment | added | sabreuse | Might or might not be, sure, except that in this point, the OP was talking about designing a theme to take a logo of a specific size in the header -- I'd agree that a logo may not work as a banner image, but I think it's more to the point for this question that the get_header_image() call can be in whatever size or shape element you want it to be. And I'd rather see people using the native function than build options for something that's already there. | |

I used to think likewise, but I've since been convinced that I was wrong. :) The header image is intrinsically different from a logo, and it probably isn't best to use add_custom_image_header() for adding a custom logo. At least, it might or might not be, depending on the design of the Theme, and the needs of the end user. (Part of the problem using it is that it limits the logo to very specific width/height dimensions, which won't always work for logos.)
