you need to add an http:// in front of the url.

www.rochesterpubliclibrary.org/friend is interpreted as a relative
link, and assuming it is a page in this folder.

http://www.rochesterpubliclibrary.org/friend will be interpreted as an
absolute url, and wil lbe found.

1. You can automatically stick the http:// into the output
http://#LogoURL#

2. you can add it to the db record, and leave your code as-is.

3. Or you could do a check to see if the http:// is included, and add
it if it is not.

I would suggest option 2 for now.
