I would like to add a logo to the top navbar within the navbar-brand. I would like it to scale with the viewport size so I'm using img-responsive2 class.

It appear that both the image and the text in the navbar-brand are wrapping to the next line.

This page can be viewed at http://digitalponddesign.com/dev/

Thanks in advance for you help.

Here is my code:

Html

   <h2 class="navbar-brand brand-name">
       <a href="index.html"><img class="img-responsive2"       
       src="images/DigitalPondlogo.png">DigitalPond</a>
   </h2>

CSS

.navbar {
margin: 10px 0;

}
.navbar-default {
background-color: #fff;
border-color: #fff;
}
.brand-name {
font-family: 'Josefin Slab', serif;
font-size: 47px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #444;
text-decoration: none;
}

.nav-container {
padding-top: 8px;
}

.navbar-custom {
font-size: 20px;
background-color: #FFF;

}

I found a solution on another thread that works - use the pull-left class:

 <a href="#" class="pull-left"><img src="/path/to/image.png"></a>

Thanks to Michael in this thread:

    How is it possible to use both the image and logo using this approach? Can you gradually reduce the size of text when you resize to mobile browsers? – sanjith edward Feb 09 '15 at 02:13
  • `pull-left` and `pull-right` are not css classes from bootstrap, I believe they are added with font-awesome – AaA Apr 15 '20 at 08:06

You can just display both the text and image as inline-blocks so that they dont stack. using floats like pull-left/pull-right can cause undesired issues so they should be used sparingly

<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">
  <img src="mylogo.png" style="display: inline-block;">
  <span style="display: inline-block;">My Company</span>
</a>

For those using bootstrap 4 beta you can add max-width on your navbar link to have control on the size of your logo with img-fluid class on the image element.

 <a class="navbar-brand" href="#" style="max-width: 30%;">
    <img src="images/logo.png" class="img-fluid">
 </a>

Enter the image and give height:100%;width:auto then just change the height of navbar itself to resize image. There is a really good example in codepen. https://codepen.io/bootstrapped/pen/KwYGwq

I would suggest you to use either an image or text. So, Remove the text and add it in your image(using Photoshop, maybe). Then, Use a width and height 100% for the image. it will do the trick. because the image can be resized based on the container. But, you have to manually resize the text. If you can provide the fiddle, I can help you achieve this.

<a class="navbar-brand" href="#" style="padding:0px;">
  <img src="mylogo.png" style="height:100%;">
</a>

For including a text:

<a class="navbar-brand" href="#" style="padding:0px;">
  <img src="mylogo.png" style="height:100%;display:inline-block;"><span>text</span>
</a>

    It appears that your answer does not include any text. Also, please add an explanation to your answer. – Loren Apr 09 '17 at 17:42

Use a image style width and height 100% . This will do the trick, because the image can be resized based on the container.

Example:

<a class="navbar-brand" href="#" style="padding: 4px;margin:auto"> <img src="images/logo.png" style="height:100%;width: auto;" title="mycompanylogo"></a>
