The CSS for the web2 style prevents the logo image being displayed.  As a
quick way of telling that the modifications you made so far are correct, try
setting your preferences to use one of the other styles. The logo should
appear. 

To make the logo appear under the default web2 style, as well as changing the
background to match the colour scheme of our company logo I created a local
copy of layout.css with the following changes:

% diff -u /usr/local/share/rt38/html/NoAuth/css/web2/layout.css  /usr/local/www/rt38/NoAuth/css/web2/layout.css

(Note the file names are from the FreeBSD layout for rt-3.8.x -- on most systems
the original file would be in ${RTHOME}/html/NoAuth/css/web2/layout.css and the modified copy should go into ${RTHOME}/local/NoAuth/css/web2/layout.css)

This displays the logo in the bottom left of the browser window -- it's fixed relative
to the window rather than scrolling with the page content.  I also cooked up a modified
background-gradient.png in gimp -- just changing the colours -- which I installed into
/usr/local/www/rt38/NoAuth/css/web2/images/source/background-gradient.png.  In order
to get it to display I had to copy /usr/local/share/rt38/html/NoAuth/css/web2/images/dhandler to /usr/local/www/rt38/NoAuth/css/web2/images/dhandler

Et voilà.

	Cheers,
