just two further possibilies:
both request to have a marker/subpart in your template.

1. as I have done it three years ago:
define in your main-template a replacement for this marker like this:

page.10 = TEMPLATE
page.10 {
    template = FILE
    template.file= fileadmin/template/default.html
    workOnSubpart = DOCUMENT_BODY
    marks.LOGO = IMAGE
    marks.LOGO.file = fileadmin/image/logo/logo.png
}

and for every subpart of your page which gets another logo/image, you
define an extension-template with just one line:
page.10.marks.LOGO.file = fileadmin/image/logo/logo2.png

2. as I would do it nowadays ;-)

store your logos/images for each site-subpart in the media-field of the
starting page. Then use this field to replace the marker:

page.10 = TEMPLATE
page.10 {
    template = FILE
    template.file= fileadmin/template/default.html
    workOnSubpart = DOCUMENT_BODY
    marks.LOGO = IMAGE
    marks.LOGO.file {
	import = uploads/media/
	import {
	        data = levelmedia: -1, "slide"
		# decide which element of the media-field:
        	listNum = 0
	}
    }
}
