I want to mark up someone's website with Microdata, so I was going to use her name and logo using schema.org's Person vocabulary.

However, there is no such a thing I could use for her logo type. She doesn't have (or want) a picture on the website, so I will use her logo instead.

Is the itemprop="photo" appropriate for this case? I found this "photo" thing here but it is not defined on schema.org.

Being strict while keeping things simple, and without mixing vocabularies, you can use the image property, which is generic but specific enough about the content you are marking up.

A logo is not normally associated with a person, it's associated with a product, a company, or things like that. So for practical purposes, the image she uses is going to define her.

If for some reason you really want to go with the idea of the logo, then you can use logo from Brand. But this may be seen as stretching the concept a bit.

Of course we don't know if she is popular/recognized enough to be associated with a company. Maybe in a small circle she is, and that is all you need to be technically correct.

Finally, you can choose to be not so technically correct and use what people would interpret easier.
