The Site Logo widget provides a flexible way to place and style your website’s logo anywhere on a page built with Elementor, independent of the header. It offers full control over the logo’s link, appearance, and dimensions.
Logo Settings: #
Configure the source and basic properties of the logo.
- Logo Source: Choose where to pull the logo image from.
- Theme Option Logo: (Default) Uses the logo set in the Digishift Customizer (
Appearance > Customize > Logo & Favicon). This ensures consistency across your site. - Custom Logo: Allows you to upload a different logo specifically for this instance of the widget.
- Theme Option Logo: (Default) Uses the logo set in the Digishift Customizer (
- Link: Define the URL where the logo should link to. By default, this is typically your homepage URL (e.g.,
https://yoursite.com). - Alt Text: Set the HTML
altattribute for the logo image. This is important for accessibility and SEO (e.g.,Digishift - Premium WordPress Theme).
Style Tab #
The Style tab allows you to visually design the logo’s container, giving you creative freedom beyond the standard header logo.
You can style the following parts:
- Logo Style: Control the basic dimensions of the logo image itself.
- Width: Set a custom width for the logo (e.g.,
150px). The height will adjust proportionally to maintain the image’s aspect ratio. - Height: Alternatively, you can set a fixed height, and the width will adjust.
- Width: Set a custom width for the logo (e.g.,
- Normal / Hover States: Style the container that holds the logo.
- Background Type: Add a solid color, gradient, or even an image background to the area behind the logo. This is useful for creating a logo badge or placing it on a colored background.
- CSS Filters: Apply visual effects like blur, brightness, contrast, and saturation to the logo image.
- Padding: Adjust the internal spacing between the logo image and the edge of its container. Increasing padding creates a larger background area.
- Border & Shadow: Add advanced design elements to the logo’s container.
- Border Type: Choose a border style (solid, dashed, etc.), set its width, and choose a color.
- Border Radius: Round the corners of the logo’s container. Use equal values for a pill shape or different values for a unique look.
- Box Shadow: Apply a shadow effect to the entire logo container to make it “float” off the page.
