📝 Note: By changing the size of the logo, the height of the row will be automatically adjusted.

Site Icon (Favicon)

Site Icons are what you see in browser tabs, bookmark bars, and within the WordPress mobile apps.

To upload a Site Icon, click on the Select site icon button and upload your image.


Layout Panel

The layout options allow the following adjustments:

  • Alignment - it will change the alignment of the Logo & Site Identity component, with three available options: left / center / right  ( Desktop | Tablet | Mobile ).
  • Padding and Margin - available in PX, EM, REM, and %, with a link button that helps establish the same dimension for all the directions  ( Desktop | Tablet | Mobile ).


Style Panel

Customize the Logo & Site Identity component by changing the text color. You can choose from Neve's Global colors, to keep the same color pallet, or pick your custom color. Apart from this, you can adjust the site title font size. Adjusting the font family requires Neve Pro.

📝Note: Check this doc about Global Colors in Neve for further details.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting unexpected logo styles

The Logo & Site Identity component does not include a built-in box-shadow control. If a shadow appears around your site logo, it is not coming from a Neve setting — it is almost certainly caused by CSS applied elsewhere on the site.

Common sources to check:

  • Additional CSS: go to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS and look for any rule that targets broad selectors such as img, img.wp-image-*, or .wp-block-image img. A rule like img { box-shadow: ...; } applies to every image on the site, including the logo.
  • Block or synced-pattern styling: open the block or synced pattern that contains your logo in the WordPress block editor and check its Advanced > Additional CSS class(es) field or any inline styles added through the block's style panel.
  • Third-party plugins: some page-builder or styling plugins inject global image styles. Temporarily deactivate suspect plugins to isolate the cause.

To confirm the source, use your browser's developer tools: right-click the logo image, choose Inspect, and look at the Computed styles panel for box-shadow. The panel shows which rule is responsible and where it is defined.

Remove an unwanted logo shadow

Preferred fix — remove or narrow the original rule

If you find a broad rule such as img { box-shadow: ...; } in Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS, consider removing it or rewriting it to target only the images that actually need the shadow. Removing box-shadow on all images should only be done if that is the intended site-wide design.

Temporary override — scope the reset to the logo only

If you need to remove the shadow from the logo without touching the original rule, add the following snippet to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS:

css
.neve-site-logo {
  box-shadow: none !important;
}

The !important declaration is required to override a rule that already uses !important, or to take priority over a more general selector. After saving, click Publish in the Customizer and then clear any caching plugin or hosting-level cache so the change takes effect on the live site.

📝 Note: .neve-site-logo is the default class applied to the logo image by Neve. If this snippet does not remove the shadow, use your browser's developer tools to inspect the logo element and confirm the exact class or selector that applies to it, then adjust the CSS rule accordingly.

Two Logos

  • It is also possible to create a website using two different logos, and here is a video.

Shrinking Header

Palette Switch - Logo Mode

The Palette Switch component gives you the opportunity to adapt the logo & site identity component, to fit both light and dark modes.

📝 Note: You will be able to see the changes only if you use the Palette Switch in the header / footer builder.

Before adding the Palette Switcher, there is nothing changed, except for the title that appears on hover:

After adding the Palette Switcher a new toggle will appear under the logo:

If you disable the option to use one logo for both modes, a new logo will appear and it can be different from the one set for the light mode:

Result
