Twitter-Bootstrap-2 logo image on top of navbar
Twitter BootstrapNavbarTwitter Bootstrap-2Twitter Bootstrap Problem Overview
Can someone suggest how I can place a logo image on the top of the navbar? My markup:
<body>
<a href="index.html"> <img src="images/57x57x300.jpg"></a>
<div class="navbar navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="navbar-inner">
<div class="container">
It is not working as the 57x57x300.jpg is shown below the navbar.

Solution 1 - Twitter Bootstrap
You have to also add the "navbar-brand" class to your image a container, also you have to include it inside the .navbar-inner container, like so:
<div class="navbar navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="navbar-inner">
<div class="container">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="index.html"> <img src="images/57x57x300.jpg"></a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Solution 2 - Twitter Bootstrap
Overwrite the brand class, either in the bootstrap.css or a new CSS file, as below -
.brand
{
background: url(images/logo.png) no-repeat left center;
height: 20px;
width: 100px;
}
and your html should look like -
<div class="container-fluid">
<a class="brand" href="index.html"></a>
</div>
Solution 3 - Twitter Bootstrap
You should remove navbar-fixed-top class otherwise navbar stays fixed on top of page where you want logo.
If you want to place logo inside navbar:
Navbar height (set in @navbarHeight LESS variable) is 40px by default. Your logo has to fit inside or you have to make navbar higher first.
Then use brand class:
<div class="navbar navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="navbar-inner">
<div class="container">
<a href="/" class="brand"><img alt="" src="/logo.gif" /></a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
If your logo is higher than 20px, you have to fix stylesheets as well.
If you do that in LESS:
.navbar .brand {
@elementHeight: 32px;
padding: ((@navbarHeight - @elementHeight) / 2 - 2) 20px ((@navbarHeight - @elementHeight) / 2 + 2);
}
@elementHeight should be set to your image height.
Padding calculation is taken from Twitter Bootstrap LESS - https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/blob/v2.0.4/less/navbar.less#L51-52
Alternatively you can calculate padding values yourself and use pure CSS.
This works for Twitter Bootstrap versions 2.0.x, should work in 2.1 as well, but padding calculation was changed a bit: https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/blob/v2.1.0/less/navbar.less#L50
Solution 4 - Twitter Bootstrap
i use this code for navbar on bootstrap 3.2.0, the image should be at most 50px high, or else it will bleed the standard bs navbar.
Notice that i purposely do not use the class='navbar-brand' as that introduces padding on the image
<div class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top" role="navigation">
<div class="container">
<!-- Brand and toggle get grouped for better mobile display -->
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-ex1-collapse">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<a class="" href="/"><img src='img/anyWidthx50.png'/></a>
</div>
<!-- Collect the nav links, forms, and other content for toggling -->
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse navbar-ex1-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="active"><a href="#">Active Link</a></li>
<li><a href="#">More Links</a></li>
</ul>
</div><!-- /.navbar-collapse -->
</div>
</div>
Solution 5 - Twitter Bootstrap
If you do not increase the height of navbar..
.navbar .brand {
position: fixed;
overflow: visible;
padding-left: 0;
padding-top: 0;
}
