Why is my logo too small on the Dawn theme?

Topic summary

A user’s logo appears too small on their Dawn theme website despite cropping whitespace. They’ve shared their site credentials and a logo preview image for troubleshooting.

Three solutions proposed:

PageFly-Lucas: Add CSS to base.css file setting .header__heading-logo width to 150px using !important

dmwwebartisan: Modify header.liquid file by changing the image size variable from section.settings.logo_width to a fixed value (e.g., 350px)

INA_MSWEB: Similar CSS approach to PageFly-Lucas, but suggests 130px width for .header__heading-logo in base.css

All solutions involve either CSS customization in the theme’s base.css file or adjusting the Liquid template code in header.liquid. The CSS methods use !important to override default styling, while the Liquid approach changes the underlying image size parameter.

Hi @rvernon23

This is Lucas from PageFly - Landing Page Builder App

You can try this code by following these steps:

Step 1: Go to Online Store->Theme->Edit code.

Step 2: Search file base.css

Step 3: Paste the below code at bottom of the file → Save

.header__heading-logo {

width: 150px !important;

}

Hope that my solution works for you.

Best regards,

To fix the issue of the logo resolution, you can change the settings in header.liquid.
Assuming you want to change the image size to 350, you can do the following:

{%- assign image_size = section.settings.logo_width | append: ‘x’ -%}

to be changed to

{%- assign image_size = 350 | append: ‘x’ -%}
