aye aye captain. It really has no affect on you because he is your boss and when it comes down to it he probably cant do what you do or he would have done it himself. So when the appropriate time comes ask for more money and bring up the logo. "I'm the guy doin his job...YOU MUST BE THE OTHER GUY" - The Departed.

I had this, did a logo for a good project, did all the research for promotional material and website etc
only for me to be taken off it and watch someone else ruin it :(

lots of reasons for this other than stealing credit.
1. you're skills/talent is needed more on another project
2. tricky client need more hand-holding and direct engagement than you can provide.
3. you're close but just not getting it. It's messing up the project and CD is stepping in to try to save it.Don't get too attached, there will be many many other projects.

it happens....
your revenge will be the next good job you have elsewhere, where this doesn't happen.... and this company will go downhill if this CD does this all the time.... so start looking around.... and do some good side-projects if the CD has a pattern of doing this, and keep a "before CD" and "after CD" folio....

If it's a credit and kudos thing..then unfortunately, as long as there are CD's and Art Directors over and above you, that will happen....it's a pain....and it sucks to see wind-bags stealing credit for others hard work etc...but that's the way it goes..the shitty end of the stick. You can try and be a hardass and say you don't want someone fucking your logo up...but if he's got pull and you don't, he'll replace your ass....first chance he gets...and possibly discredit you in other ways as well.....it ALL depends on how much of an asshole the guy is...if he's an otherwise decent chap thats just trying to justify his paycheck etc, you can probably reason with him....atleast a bit....but if he's a bit of a dick regardless, i'd just suck it up and work to build the best folio you can, and move on when the chance comes....eventually you'll be in a position where it's either impossible for someone to do this to you, or you'll be in a group where it doesn't happen for other reasons (better group dynamics, better hierarchy etc)...at any rate, it's happened to me at a few places, and when it's for legit reasons, it's all cool and the gang..especially when the CD/ArtDirector whatever, can sit down with you and explain why their doing it....but its totally sucks when it's obvious they just want to steal your thunder...

if he just tweaks it slightly, put it in your folio anyway. If anyone asks if it's all yours, say "no-someone else made tweaks"
