Place logo inside footline zone in a beamer presentation

Question

In this code

\documentclass{beamer}
\logo{\raisebox{-2cm}{\includegraphics[width=1cm]{example-image-a}}}
\setbeamertemplate{footline}{
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd = 1.0\paperwidth, ht = 2.25ex, dp = 1ex, center]{author in head/foot}
    This is footline
  \end{beamercolorbox}
}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{Title}
  Frame Contents
\end{frame}
\end{document}

I try to use a negative value with \raisebox to force the logo inside the footline zone.

The result is

My attempt to place the logo inside the footline zone has been unsuccessful. How to hack (apart from inserting the logo directly into footline)?

What about a tikz overlay?

Edit: fixed to "work" for every frame:

Last edit: mshow variable has to be 1 for logo to appear or another integer to not appear

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning}
%\logo{\raisebox{-2cm}{\includegraphics[width=1cm]{example-image-a}}}
\setbeamertemplate{footline}{
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd = 1.0\paperwidth, ht = 2.25ex, dp = 1ex, center]{author in head/foot}
    This is footline
  \end{beamercolorbox}
}

\xdef\mshow{0}
\def\showlogo{\ifnum\mshow=1 \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
    \node at ([yshift=0.2cm,xshift=-0.25cm]current page.south east){\includegraphics[width=0.5cm]{example-image-a}};
    \end{tikzpicture}\fi}
\let\oldbeginframe\frame
\renewenvironment{frame}[1][ ]{\oldbeginframe{#1}\bgroup\showlogo}{\egroup}

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{Title}
  Frame Contents

\end{frame}

\xdef\mshow{1}
\begin{frame}{Title2}
  Frame 2

\end{frame}
\begin{frame}{Title3}
  Frame 3

\end{frame}
\end{document}

That calls for inserting the tikz overlay in every frame? – Viesturs Jan 26 '18 at 22:00
I think we can fix it for this... just give me a minute – koleygr Jan 26 '18 at 22:05
@Viesturs... fixed to work for every frame... (Just don't forget to double compile) – koleygr Jan 26 '18 at 22:12
Nice! Another challenge - the logo should not appear on the titlepage. :) – Viesturs Jan 26 '18 at 22:15
@Viesturs Another chalenge (7 euros :P) [fixed... just cahnge mshow variable to 1 for logo to be shown or another integer to hide it whenever you want] – koleygr Jan 26 '18 at 22:32

If you do not care about the footline symbols and do not modify (for whatever reason the footline), there is a dirty solution (which I cannot recommend).

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{eso-pic}
\AddToShipoutPictureFG{% Add picture to background of every page
  \AtPageLowerLeft{\hspace*{\paperwidth}\hspace*{-1cm}\includegraphics[width=1cm]{example-image-a}
}}

\setbeamertemplate{footline}{
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd = 1.0\paperwidth, ht = 2.25ex, dp = 1ex, center]{author in head/foot}
    This is footline
  \end{beamercolorbox}
}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{Title}
  Frame Contents
\end{frame}
\end{document}

@Viesturs Just move the command \AddToShipoutPictureFG to the second slide. For further details, please see the eso-pic docu. — , Jan 26 '18 at 23:12
