This is just a tip, not a question. I searched for this answer and didn't find a clear method, so I thought I'd post the solution.
If you need to remove the hyperlink on the logo image (I needed to do this for the Peak template) just add the follow to you custom CSS:
header { pointer-events: none; }
This doesn't truly remove the hyperlink, but it does prevent it from appearing as clickable to the visitor. So for the user it is as if the element is not hyperlinked.
The reason I needed to remove the hyperlink is that we are using the logo area for a large hero image on a special landing page in a one-page site, not as an actual logo.
Hope this helps someone.
