Hello there,  
I just started my Discourse journey and the problem I have is with uploading logo. It is not shown correctly on the site. I am running release v3.5.0.beta4 +296 (latest), and main site logo is not working. Other pictures (as I checked few), were uploaded and are being show correctly. I’ve checked the permissions, and it looks fine, what I noticed the content of the optimized/1x directory the logo files are missing, but these logo files exists in original/1x. Do you have an idea how to fix this?

Quick update. For some reason now, logo is visible for admin only. Although white version is uploaded and assigned to **Logo dark** , system displays main one assigned to light theme. Still looking for ideas.

Your logo is served over http:

Some browsers will just show a warning in the console. Others will block the request and you’ll get the broken link icon. I guess you need to explicitly force https, see for example

> [@Installing Discourse Behind Reverse Proxy using recommended (supported) installation](https://meta.discourse.org/t/installing-discourse-behind-reverse-proxy-using-recommended-supported-installation/300191/1):
>
> Now to force Discourse to only supply links with HTTPS add the following in the `env` section:
> 
> ```plaintext
> # FORCE SSL 
> DISCOURSE_FORCE_HTTPS: true
> 
> ```

thank you @manuel , that was it.

The last issue is the white logo is not showing up in dark mode.

Do you have dark mode defined on this site setting?

You should probably also enable the scheme switcher, so you can debug this easier:
