Here an image logo is placed in the top pallet using the pallet_top_title phplugins hook.
The image is 48px tall to match the height of the top pallet.
A little custom css was also needed to remove margin from a list item.
Here's the phplugins code:
function pallet_top_title() {
echo '
<li><a href="http://yoursite.com">
<img src="http://yoursite.com/path-to-image.png"/></a>
</li>
';
return false;
} // END
Of course, use the url to your own image.
Here's the custom css:
.page__pallet__top > .content > ul > li { margin: 0; }
