The most common way to check for the existence of a file in Python is using the exists() and isfile() methods from the os.path module in the standard library.

Using exists:

import os.path
if os.path.exists('mydirectory/myfile.png'):
   #business logic
else:
   #set default logo

os.path.exists('mydirectory/myfile.png') returns True if found else False

Using isfile:

import os.path
if os.path.isfile('mydirectory/myfile.png'):
   #business logic
else:
   #set default logo

os.path.exists('mydirectory/myfile.png') returns True if found else False

Alternatively you can also use try-except as shown below:

try:
    f = open('myfile.png')
    f.close()
except FileNotFoundError:
    print('File does not exist')

You can do this using the os.path.exists() function in python. So it would be something like -

if os.path.exists('yourdirectory/yourfile.png'):
     #business logic
else:
    #set default logo

You can also use os.path.isfile() in a similar manner to check if it is a valid file (os.paath.exists() will return True for valid folders as well)
