Group SP Site (Group image/logo Not Updating)
Same issue here.
SharePoint sites losing their logo. I'm not sure, but It seems the problem occurs when we disable the visibility of the Office 365 Group in Outlook.
Set-UnifiedGroup GroupName -HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled:$true

There is a known issue when the group is hidden in Exchange. My previous reply in this thread explains a little of how the logo works and that while it is cached on the site, it's really stored in Exchange. It turns out that when Exchange hides the group, they really hide the group. And SharePoint is calling through an API layer which is technically an Exchange client -- just the sort of thing that should not be able to see the group. So any attempt from SharePoint to read or write the logo is basically ignored by Exchange, and writes only set the cached logo on the site (until the cache expires and it's time to fail to read the logo from Exchange again).
Even though the issue is simple on the surface, it really is a matter of architecture and design, as so many cross-service things are.

Brian Van Eimeren , I agree the architecture seems very complicated. It feels like Office 365 global architecture is a glue of multiple architecture performed by different teams. Maybe this is why it is so hard to set a logo...

Brian Van Eimeren So if one creates a Team in Teams, then exports it to Sharepoint, with no prior origin in Exchange, this will still be a problem? Therefore, Teams is also based on Exchange, and thus, we're really created a group in Exchange when we build a Team in Teams?

phanley2000 When you create a Team, Teams goes and creates a group (in AAD) to back it. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/office-365-groups. Groups have resources in other services: a group can have a mailbox, a site, a Team, a Yammer group, and so on.
So while you didn't use exactly the right words, I think the answer to your question is yes -- when you create a Team, it does get a mailbox among other things.

Same here....problem still exists. I built a new Team in Teams, and generated a Sharepoint site from it yesterday.
I tried to: change the look>header>site logo, added a JPG, clicked save.
It responded, then disappeared within the hour during a refresh of the browser.

phanley2000 We are having the same issue. The image in Teams has updated, but the image on the corresponding SharePoint Online site will not update.
Site users are not happy.

Deleted This is truly unfortunate. It seems like more of a trivial fix than a code revision. Come on MS!
