heading

It is a common practice for front-end developers to put the website title or logo in H1 tag and the title in H2. But most of the time the title of the page/article is more important because it caries the content value. So my question is what is the best approac from semantic and seo viewpoint. Examples:

logo - H1, title - H1
logo - H1, title - H2
logo - H2, title - H1
logo - other tag, title - H1

Provided other variants if you think they will have bigger effect.
