Hi @shazim_malik12 ,

Thanks for reaching out. It seems like you’re looking for a navigation that can display collection images.

To add an image beside a menu option in your navigation, you will need to make sure the menu item has an image associated with it by linking it to a collection, as shown below. Not all themes will have this option by default. I checked the Empire theme, and it doesn’t seem like it allows this from Theme Editor.

Considering Empire is a paid third-party theme, feel free to contact the theme developer to see if they can complete this customization for you. You can find their support and contact details on this page.

You can always use an app to build custom navigation within your current theme. Some popular apps for this feature are Metor Mega Menus and Buddha Mega Menu. Let me know what you think.
