I'm having a issue with deploying graphql query something about top level schema error. I have tried moving the schema type into it's own object which usually works but I still get the same error for the following code
This is the exact errot I am getting

Error: Encountered anonymous inline image "logoImage" for field/type "LogoImage". To use this field with GraphQL you will need to create a top-level schema type for it. See <https://docs.sanity.io/help/schema-lift-anonymous-object-type>
homepage.js

{
      name: "logoImageWhite",
      type: "logoImage",
      title: "Logo White Image",
    },
    {
      name: "logoImageColor",
      type: "logoImage",
      title: "Logo Color Image",
    },
logoImage.js

export default {
  title: "Logo Image",
  type: "object",
  name: "logoImage",
  fields: [
    {
      name: "logoImage",
      type: "image",
      title: "Logo Image",
      fields: [
        {
          name: "alt",
          type: "string",
          title: "Alt Tag",
          options: {
            isHighlighted: true, // <-- make this field easily accessible
          },
        },
      ],
    },
  ],
};

I know why your getting the error, im trying to find the sanity doc that references this.

On second thought - your probably getting some sort of naming collision - your using logoImage as a name on the top level, and as a fieldName.

hmm I tried
export default {
  title: "Logo Image",
  type: "object",
  name: "logoImage",
  fields: [
    {
      name: "logoImageBlock",
      type: "image",
      title: "Logo Image",
      fields: [
        {
          name: "alt",
          type: "string",
          title: "Alt Tag",
          options: {
            isHighlighted: true, // <-- make this field easily accessible
          },
        },
      ],
    },
  ],
};
and got the error

Error: Encountered anonymous inline image "logoImageBlock" for field/type "LogoImage". To use this field with GraphQL you will need to create a top-level schema type for it. See <https://docs.sanity.io/help/schema-lift-anonymous-object-type>
I thought that was where the naming collision occured so no sure here. Thanks for your help so far

The error has the doc I was looking for! https://www.sanity.io/help/schema-lift-anonymous-object-type

I think what you need to do is lift the fields portion into a new object - then reference that in the 
type
section so soemthing like 
type: logoImageBlock

Usually doesnt throw an error until you try to deploy graphql

So something like this:
Top Level
export default {
  title: "Logo Image",
  type: "logoImageBlock",
  name: "logoImage"
}

Logo Image Block
export default {
  title: "Logo Image Block",
  type: "image",
  name: "logoImageBlock",
  fields: [
    {... your current fields content}
  ]

}

I dont know if type: image would trigger that too, but thats what I would try next, esp if you are getting that error

Or just clean up the original - instead of making it an object at top level, why not just make logoImage an type:image then add your fields in? Dont know the context though

Thanks so much man, that worked
