Are you already using the i18n module? The package contains the 'Variable translation' module which allows you to make certain variables language dependent. Since the site logo is also stored in the variables (theme_settings['logo_path'] if I'm not mistaken) you can make that variable language dependent as well.

If you're not using the i18n module (and you're not going to need it soon), I suppose you can also switch between logo images in your theme's template.php.

I wouldn't recommend creating a node type for it. In my experience, whenever you're considering to create a node type that is meant to have a specific number of nodes, there probably is a better solution for what you're doing.

Fantastic, exact what I was looking for – Jim Apr 9 '12 at 12:25
Could either of you please elaborate how you did this? I am trying to get different logos to show up on the the page based on the language. I enabled the module as this suggested, and I now have the admin area to manage the variables, but now what? Thanks. – blue928 Oct 25 '12 at 5:49
