Google _might_ look at it if it were a link. You could try:
<a href="#heading"><img src="logo.png" alt="" title="Heading Text"
id="heading"></a>
Then style it to not appear as a link.
But, as Els says, headings should be text, not images. There are probably
other SEO issues with H1 images, like should a SE shows H1s in the SERPS,
how would it display an image?
