May be the title is confusing. Let me explain what I want:

I am using beamer to create my slide and on the first page, in order to match my school style, I fill up the entire first slide with red color. Now I want to add the school logo in the first slide. I am using code

\titlegraphic{
\begin{textblock*}{100mm}(0\textwidth,8.5cm)
\includegraphics[height=.8cm,width=14cm]{logo-polito-heng} 
\end{textblock*}}

this code works good at the rest of my slide, of course, without \titlegraphic part. However, at the front page, my logo is totally missing... I guess it is covered by red color which I am using to fill up my first page...

Now the question is, how may I keep my logo at the front of my slide? Any comments would be very thankful!!!!

    And how exactly are you filling your first page with the red color? Please provide a complete, minimal document showing the relevant settings. – Gonzalo Medina Apr 03 '14 at 03:13

    Depending on the beamer theme with respect to its position there is a \logo{...} command in beamer. –  Apr 03 '14 at 03:37

If you fill the background (or the background canvas) with red, everything else will appear over it.

I'd suggest reading Andrew Stacey answer to How does beamer build the frame? for better understanding how beamer builds frames.

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{mwe}
\logo{\includegraphics[width=2cm,keepaspectratio]{example-image}}
\title{Red background frame with logo}
\author{TeX.SX}
\setbeamertemplate{background canvas}{\color{red}\rule{\paperwidth}{\paperheight}}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\maketitle
\end{frame}
\end{document}

  • One more question. How may I change the text color in the first page? For example, how may I change "Red Background frame with logo" to white color? as well as the rest? Thax!! – JumpJump Apr 04 '14 at 01:43
  • @user124358: Beamer uses themes to fix all components appearance. I think it's better to use themes to change colors, fonts, etc. but if you prefer fixing them by hand include \setbeamercolor{title}{fg=white}\setbeamercolor{author}{fg=white}\setbeamercolor{date}{fg=white,bg=blue} and see what happen. After that I'd suggest taking a walk through beamer questions and answers here and taking a look to beamer documentation – Ignasi Apr 04 '14 at 07:12
