Specify a clickthrough url for the logo if required.
Specify the url for the custom logo. The path can be relative from the root or include the domain name.

FAQ

Why did you make another admin logo plugin?

There are already quite a few plugins that offer similar functionality, but the fact that my plugin uses the WordPress Media Library makes it super easy to upload and edit your own logo.

I also am not aware of any other plugins that allow you to specify a clickthrough url for the logo.

Finally, this plugin is ready to be localized. All you have to do is to use the POT file for translating.

Customize Admin keeps being inserted into my WordPress admin and then rootuser is inserted into MySQL. Customize Admin was put on my site ONCE by me and I had some issues so I removed it. During that install, there must have been a virus inserted elsewhere in WordPress because the plugin is reinstalling itself. The virus brought our server down the other day because it consumed all of the disk space. When it took off, there were literally hundreds of IP’s pinging other malicious files placed on our server.
