This is a default UX you should enable: Linking your Logo to the Joomla Homepage
One of the most common navigation standards is that when you click on the logo of your site you are taken to the Homepage of a website. Funnily enough, there are lots of Joomla templates that do not have this functionality implemented automatically.
At CollectiveRay, we will show you how to enable this by doing the following steps:

Look for something like

Sometimes it may be desirable to replace the Joomla logo with your own customised logo in the administration panel. This can be easily done by manually changing some images in the administration template. Using the template manager, using FTP or using the CPanel file manager, go to the ISIS template files, find the images folder and replace the files with a version of your own. The location of the files should be: In there you’ll find the following logo filenames: Don’t change the filenames of the logos, so that you won’t need to change any code, just rename your new logo to logo.png and the other names of the files and replace them. Ideally, you keep the same sizes of each image so that you that everything stays in good proportion. Using FTP go to the following directory administratortemplatesbluestork and open index.php. Find the following line and remove it completely or change it to suit your needs: When you are still a Joomla beginner, this might be a bit of frustrating task, especially when you still have no idea what templates are, and how to go about changing them. Well, this tip tries to make things easier 🙂 To edit the Joomla 3 logo, you’ll need to find the Logo option in the Template Options. Go to Extensions > Templates > Make sure “Styles” are selected > Protostar > Advanced. There you’ll find a Logo option. Click on the “Select” button, and choose your logo image file to display, or upload a new image to use as your logo.
