Center Header Logo Image in Genesis Child Theme

Published: April 2, 2017 - Updated: March 20, 2022

Today a quick little tutorial on how to center the logo image in the header of the Utility Pro theme. I had this request recently in support and it turned out to be much easier than originally thought.

Note: While this tutorial is for the Utility Pro theme, it will likely apply to any *Genesis child theme that is not using the genesis-custom-header function. This means if you go to Genesis => Theme Settings you’ll see a Header section where you can select Dynamic text (default) or Image logo.

Display the Logo

Make sure your logo is showing in the upper-left before you continue. All good? Ok!

Get Centered

Next, we will make a single CSS change to move the logo from it’s default location of left on larger views (desktop), to the middle of the header area. Remember, Utility Pro is a mobile-first so you want to look for the section for larger screens.   In the standard version it will look like this:


@media screen and (min-width: 1023px) {
  .header-image .site-title > a {
      background-position: left; 
  }
}

If you do not have any other styling in that section you can remove it entirely or just remove the background-position entry. That is it! Your image logo should now appear in the middle of the header.
