I am overwriting my theme logo in my child theme with the default.xml file but the logo is not loading in the storefront.

This is my default.xml code:

<referenceBlock name="logo">
      <arguments>
         <argument name="logo_file" xsi:type="string">images/my-store-logo.jpg</argument>
         <argument name="logo_img_width" xsi:type="number">30</argument>
         <argument name="logo_img_height" xsi:type="number">30</argument>
      </arguments>
</referenceBlock>

My console shows following url for the image:

<img src="https://localhost/magento/pub/static/version1583882139/frontend/Custom/less/en_US/images/my- 
store-logo.jpg" title="" alt="" width="30" height="30">

When i click on the above link it shows the following error message on the new page:

A symlink for "C:/xampp/htdocs/magento/app/design/frontend/Custom/theme-custom- 
less/web/images/my-store-logo.jpg" can't be created and placed to 
"C:/xampp/htdocs/magento/pub/static/frontend/Custom/less/en_US/images/my-store-logo.jpg". 
Warning!symlink(): Cannot create symlink, error code(1314)

This is my store front view: This is my <code>store front</code> view:

Thanks in advance.

Edit: This is my directory structure:

  • I see that none of the answers here were accepted. Can you share how you fixed it? Perhaps write up an answer to your original question?

Reset to default

Your code is correct and must be inserted in

/Magento_Theme/layout/default.xml

It seems that your static image is in a less folder(?), is your static file well generated?

You can read https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.3/frontend-dev-guide/themes/theme-create.html#theme_logo

<body>
<referenceBlock name="logo">
<arguments>
<argument name="logo_file" xsi:type="string">images/mytheme-logo.png</argument>
<argument name="logo_img_width" xsi:type="number">200</argument>
<argument name="logo_img_height" xsi:type="number">200</argument>
</arguments>
</referenceBlock>
</body>
</page>
