Should I use a company logo as my LinkedIn photo?
Connection requests come from members, not from company pages. A logo in the circle is a tell that this is a broadcast. Accept rates drop, and "I don't know this person" gets easier to click.
Use a recent face photo, decent light, no sunglasses unless that is honestly how clients meet you. A crop from a conference booth is fine. A cartoon mascot is not, unless your whole brand is the mascot and you are famous for it.
Company pages exist for the logo. Put the brand there. On the personal profile, the face is the trust object.
If you sell for a known company, the experience section and headline can carry the brand. You still need a face.
Replace the logo, send a small batch, and compare accepts to last week. You will usually see the difference without a long experiment.
Frequently asked questions
A face that also happens to show a laptop is fine. A screenshot of the UI as the avatar is still a logo.
That looks like one fake person. Each seat needs a real face. Buyers check.
If you still look like it, maybe. If you do not, the first video call becomes an awkward reveal. Update it.
Not as a hard published rule for members. Buyers still punish them. That is the constraint that matters for outbound.
