i think this is because you didnt marshal the call to the UI thread. you can do something line this:

save the context in the constructor,

// this is a class member variable 
public readonly SynchronizationContext mySynchronizationContext;

// in ctor
MySynchronizationContext = SynchronizationContext.Current;

// in your method , to set the image:    
SendOrPostCallback callback = _=>
{
  image1.Source = logo;
};

mySynchronizationContext.Send(callback,null);

by the way, its a good practice to use using statements with the SqlConnection and SqlDataReader. as in:

using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("conn string here"))
{
    using (SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
    {
        // db access code
    }
}
