    Yay! I found a solution that works, although it’s probably rather unconventional in using a CMS.

    I copied Sketch’s header.php into my child theme. After that, I commented out the reference to Jetpack Site Logo,

    <?php if ( function_exists( 'jetpack_the_site_logo' ) ) jetpack_the_site_logo(); ?>

    and hard-coded in the reference to the image from my Media Library. I also gave the image a class of site-logo.:

    With Jetpack’s Site Logo feature, it is very frustrating to edit one’s CSS, and the changes not logically take effect. I’m just going to remove that Jetpack feature so that I can modify my logo the way I want. What I’ve also discovered was that my logo element was affected by Jetpack’s Photon, described here: https://jetpack.com/support/photon/. There is an image_downsize filter that was most likely affecting how that logo displayed. I have ticked that feature “off” in my WordPress dashboard.

    I also deleted the logo that was uploaded in the Customizr, since I won’t be using that means to display the graphic in my header.

    The graphic is finally at a place where I can easily resize it as I want. As of the time of this post, I’m currently adding media queries at particular breaking points for the graphic and the accompanying navigation.

    Hi Sarah,

    I just discovered that the logo in my Media Library was originally sized 2356x754px! I actually resized it to a preferred 449x144px, and replaced the image in the Media Library.

    What I’ve also done is added

    .site-logo { max-width: 449px; }

    into my child theme’s css.

    A function in my child’s function.php file has also been edited:

    function sketch_child_featured() {
  add_image_size( 'sketch-featured', '449', '144' );
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'sketch_child_featured', 11 );

    Somehow the logo is still scaling down to 300px wide in the header.

    Thank you, Stephen.

    I noticed this after placing this widget in a sidebar for testing. It wasn’t easily obvious to me, because the widget functions as part of a home page template in a purchased WordPress theme that I’m modifying.

    I will have to contact the developer(s) of that theme so they can show me how to change the widget settings within their template.
