Unless this has something to do with the image download script which I do not use and have no idea how it might affect the cache.

I would have thought so too...

To be certain, I just repeated the process. After removing the two cached logos there were none displayed at the top level or season episode level. Using the script to download a new one and it returned successful, but no logo ever showed up. Even tried a refresh of all episodes to no avail.

Edit: It appears to be even worse - until I changed the path to the show, it would not load a logo file again; it would just remain blank.

There's got to be a better way to clear cached images....

By clearing the cache I didn't mean delete the whole Thumbnails directory..
For starters the new dds directory is where images have been caching that aren't a poster, fanart, etc.
Now it appears that this has been rapidly changing.

In the past most of the other stuff was stored in the Video directory which should never be deleted for any reason.
But best I can tell more and more is spilling out into the Thumbnails directory and it's becoming a mess.

When this first started occurring I would remove only the files/directories which contained the cached logo images (this appears to be moving around now) and restart xbmc.
Problem was solved. As I've not had to do this for some time I'm not up to speed on the current state of the beast.

The best option to fix this problem is to delete the file Textures.db in your C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\Database once that is done you can restart xbmc and it should load your new logo.

Ah ha so they compounded the problem by making an image database... makes sense why we couldn't figure it out.
