Why is my Sense theme logo appearing too small?

Topic summary

A user is experiencing issues with their logo appearing too small in the Shopify Sense theme despite creating it in Canva and removing whitespace. They attempted to modify the max-width setting in the header.liquid file (changing from default 250px), but saw no improvement. The logo also appears blurry at current dimensions.

A community member provided a solution:

  • Increase the max-width value in theme settings from 250 to 500 pixels
  • Upload a higher resolution/larger image file

Key technical note: If the source image has insufficient width/resolution, it will appear blurred when displayed at 500px width. The issue stems from both theme settings and image quality—both need adjustment for optimal display.

Hello @sam163

And i uploaded an image with width >= 500px it will display fine, but if the image has a lower width it will be blurred
