+==================================================
+Deprecation - #66065: Backend Logo View Deprecated
+==================================================
+
+Description
+===========
+
+The logo view class responsible for the rendering of the TYPO3 Logo in the left corner of the backend is not in use
+anymore and marked for deprecation. The logic for exchanging the logo via TBE_STYLES is still available.
+
+
+Impact
+======
+
+Installations extending ``TYPO3\CMS\Backend\View\LogoView`` as an XCLASS will not see
+any modified output instead.
+
+
+Affected Installations
+======================
+
+Installations extending ``TYPO3\CMS\Backend\View\LogoView`` as an XCLASS.
+
+
+Migration
+=========
+
+As the same logic is now done in the BackendController and the main Backend Fluid Template, the template can be
+modified to fit the installations' needs.
