                        $uploader = new Varien_File_Uploader(‘logo’);
                        $uploader->setAllowedExtensions(array(‘jpg’,’jpeg’,’gif’,’png’));
                        $uploader->setAllowRenameFiles(false);

                        $path       = Mage::getBaseDir(‘media’) . DS .’catalog/customer/logo/’;

                        $customer->setLogo($newName);

                        // actual path of image
                        $imageUrl = $path . $newName;

                        // path of the resized image to be saved
                        // here, the resized image is saved in media/resized folder
                        $imageResized = $path . $newName;

                        // resize image only if the image file exists and the resized image file doesn’t exist
                        // the image is resized proportionally with the width/height 135px
                        if (!file_exists($imageResized)&&file_exists($imageUrl)) :
                            $imageObj = new Varien_Image($imageUrl);
                            $imageObj->constrainOnly(TRUE);
                            $imageObj->keepAspectRatio(TRUE);
                            $imageObj->keepFrame(FALSE);
                            $imageObj->resize(150, 150);
                            $imageObj->save($imageResized);

                        endif;
                      }catch(Exception $e) {

                      }
                    }

    After upload we need to save file name in DB.

    $customer->setLogo($newName);
