Bigger logo image without bigger header Dawn Theme

Topic summary

Goal: enlarge the store’s logo without increasing the Dawn theme header height or apparent padding. The original poster trimmed the logo image but still saw inherent header spacing.

Most recent update: A CSS-based fix was proposed, reviewed on mobile. It enlarges the logo and adjusts its position rather than changing header height.

Proposed steps:

  • Admin → Online store → Theme → Edit code.
  • Open base.css (or equivalent) and append:
    .logo img { scale: 1.5 !important; margin-left: 25% !important; }
  • Save and reload the storefront.

Outcome: Screenshots indicate a visibly larger logo on mobile without increasing the header size. The solution uses CSS scale (to increase image size) and margin-left (to reposition).

Status: A single solution has been provided with visual proof. Confirmation from the original poster is pending; resolution appears likely but not yet marked as solved.

Hi guys, i´ve been trying some previous solutions on the forum for this issue but with no results…I cutted all the excess space of the image logo but there is like a space in the header thats inherent to it. Is there anyway to eliminate this padding? The URL is www.castabrava.cl Shopify Dawn Theme
