How to fix a blurry logo on the Impulse theme?

Topic summary

Issue: Logo appears blurry on the Impulse theme.

Key details:

  • Initial suspicion was a low-resolution asset, but the uploader used a 3800×800 PNG. There was also a brief file-type upload issue mentioned.
  • Investigation shifted to theme code. The helper requested header.liquid and header-logo-block.liquid to inspect how image sizes are generated (via Shopify’s img_url and srcset).

Fix implemented:

  • In header-logo-block.liquid, replace the computed image size assignment for desktop from the theme setting to a fixed, larger value: set header_logo_size to ‘1000x’. This forces higher-resolution logo URLs and leverages existing 1x/2x srcset.
  • For mobile, apply the same approach by setting header_logo_size_mobile to ‘1000x’.
  • Result: Original poster confirmed the desktop blur was fixed, then replicated the change for mobile with success.

Status:

  • Resolved for the original poster after code edits.
  • Another participant reports the same issue on Impulse (not on other themes) and has not yet resolved it; no further guidance provided in-thread.

Notes:

  • Code snippets were central to the resolution.
