As this is fundamentally the same question as the Obj-C equivalent, I've updated the referenced question and voted for this one to be closed. — ColinE, Nov 28 '14 at 15:56

See this question for the answer in Objective-C:

Which translates to:

myNavbar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(named: "logo.png"), forBarMetrics: .Default)

Does this work for a standard NavBar View Controller? I tried your code and it came back that myNavbar is an unresolved identifier. Thank you. – Octavio Antonio Cedeño Nov 28 '14 at 14:34

ColinE answer is correct, is just that your navigation bar isn't called myNavbar.

You can try using:

self.navigationController?.navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(named: "logo.png"), forBarMetrics: .Default)

inside the viewDidLoad().
