        </reference>
    </adminhtml_brandlogo_index> 
</layout>

Error I found in exception.log is as like below

exception 'Mage_Core_Exception' with message 'Invalid block type: Digitab_Brandlogo_Block_Brandlogo' in /home3/theaid/public_html/demo/app/Mage.php:595

I am getting a blank white page when I am clicking on Brandlogo menu of Digitab.

Could anyone help me to display a grid??

Thanks

1.Helper using way is wrong in app/code/local/Digitab/Brandlogo/Block/Adminhtml/Brandlogo.php

use like this

$this->_headerText = Mage::helper('digitab_brandlogo')->__('Brand Logo Manager');

instead of

$this->_headerText = Mage::helper('brandlogo')->__('Brand Logo Manager');

You don't have any setup file for resource
