Increased padding with Centered Logo

Hello,
I am using version 2.2.5 of Virtue theme.

In the theme options/Main settings/logo layout, I chose the “centered logo” option. The size of my logo is 3072×341 pixels.

I have noticed that (at least on my site), choosing the “centered logo” option, rather than the “left aligned” one, the padding between the logo and the next thing on the page (in my case, the slider) increases significantly (almost doubles). I have tried another logo of smaller size (1024×341), got the same result.

What am I doing wrong? How can I prevent this?

Sorry if already asked and resoved but I searched this with some keywords in Google before adding here.

Thanks in advance…
