Beamer: problem of repetition of the logo on each page

Question

I have a problem inserting an picture at the beginning. Once I compiled, I have the picture on each page but I want to have the picture just on the first page.

Here is my code:

 \documentclass{beamer}
 \let\Tiny=\tiny
 \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
 \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
 \usepackage[frenchb]{babel}
 \usepackage{type1cm}

 \usetheme{CambridgeUS} % theme

\title[automata]{ automata}
 \subtitle{Lucian Ilie} 
\author{Author}
\institute{Institute} 

\date{26 Mars 2012 \\ 

\includegraphics[width=1cm]{./image/logo_ur.jpg}

}

You have to use it inside a frame environment. Like this: \begin{frame}\includegraphics{...}\end{frame} \begin{frame}my second slide\end{frame}. — Thorsten, Mar 20 '12 at 10:39

You include your image in the \date variable. Beamer publishes the date on every slide (at least in most themes). That's why the logo is shown on each slide.

You will need to include the \includegraphics[width=1cm]{./image/logo_ur.jpg} in the first frame (titleframe)

Furhermore Beamer also provides a macro called \logo{}. You can use this command \logo{\includegraphics[width=1cm]{./image/logo_ur.jpg}} to draw the logo on each (!) page. I know your question wants to avoid this. Logo however places the logo on a location that should be elegant given the theme.

The \date macro is obviously not the right place for a logo. There are two commands designed for drawing one instead:

The \logo command has already been mentioned. It draws a logo on each page.
The \titlegraphic macro looks much more suited to your needs: It inserts the graphic only on the title page, underneath the date.

Full example code for `\titlegraphic`:

\documentclass{beamer}
\let\Tiny=\tiny
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[frenchb]{babel}
\usepackage{type1cm}

\usetheme{CambridgeUS} % theme

\title[automata]{ automata}
\subtitle{Lucian Ilie} 
\author{Author}
\institute{Institute} 
\date{26 Mars 2012}
\titlegraphic{\includegraphics[width=1cm]{./image/logo_ur.jpg}}

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\begin{frame}
   Content
\end{frame}
\end{document}

$title page with logo inserted wby \titlegraphic$
