Hello,

just to tie up loose ends -- here's the solution I decided on:

First, a Model encapsulates the logic and DB-access for a Logo object. I
can pass this into a LogoResource (extends DynamicImageResource), which
streams out the data from that Model's object. The model, however, also
serves to show or hide the Image component using that Resource.

Thanks for your time and suggestions.
Bye
