You would do that like this:
   <h1><img src="company_logo.gif" alt="Acme" /></h1>


A better example for your idea is the headline
   <h1>A beginner's guide to
     <abbr title="Scalable Vector Graphics">SVG</abbr></h1>

Now imagine again, that you wanted to show this headline in such a fancy 
way that an image is required. Currently you would have to split the 
image in several parts:

   <h1>
     <img src="abeginnersguideto.jpeg" alt="A beginner's guide to " />
     <abbr title="Scalable Vector Graphics">
       <img src="svg.jpeg" alt="SVG" />
     </abbr>
   </h1>
   (without spaces between tags)

Not so fine.
