# Logo header image resize

 * Trying to increase the size of the logo in the header. I’ve increased the image
   size, and put the width + height (400×90) in the code. However, the only element
   that sizing changes is the wrap for the logo image. The image itself stays the
   same size, positioned in the upper left corner of the wrap. Don’t see a property
   for the image to fill the wrap? Don’t see that there is any padding that can 
   be removed?
 * Using Showroom, a Genesis Child Theme.

 * Because the logo is a background you need to adjust the `background-size`
 *     ```
       .header-image .site-header .title-area {
       	background: url("http://thvcreative.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Logo5-300x68.jpg") no-repeat scroll left top;
       	background-size: 400px 90px;
       }
       ```
   
 * but, unfortunately, the size that is being used is 300 x 68 so it will only display
   properly at that size. You need to find where it’s injected into the theme Appearance
   > Customise and put the logo in at the size you want.

 * Got it. Thank you. Your advice made me realize the logo was being resized upon
   upload.
