You don' want to go by what I'm posting here because it really all depends on the width/Height of your logo, but for this example I will be using a 50 x 35 logo,, as follows,,,

.ow_logo_wrap a {
display: none}

.ow_logo_wrap {
background: url("/img/logo-selectica-sm.png") no-repeat scroll 0 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
padding: 20px 0 20px 10px}

sorry to bug you but on edit theme css, this is what i found:

.ow_logo_wrap {
    width:1000px;
    margin:0pxauto;
    padding:12px0px0px10px;
}
.ow_logo_wrap a {
    font-family:'open_sans_condensedbold',"Trebuchet MS","Helvetica CY",sans-serif;
    font-size:16px;
    text-transform:uppercase;
    font-weight:bold;
    color:#90c105;
}
.ow_logo_wrap a:hover {
    text-decoration:none;
}

.ow_logo_wrap a will be blocked using display: none, that is if your looking to remove the text and replace with an image as you can see I have done in the example screen-shot..

As far as .ow_logo_wrap the codes I have provided with this include background in which you will be adding and padding in which you will be changing, these two items for .ow_logo_wrap are the only things you will need to worry of changing, and No,, you don't utilize this change at cPanel script, if you do then the next time you do an update you will loose all changes in theme, you will insert codes at Admin section:http://your-site.net/admin/theme/css just as I have provided here again

.ow_logo_wrap a {
display: none}

.ow_logo_wrap {
background: url("/img/logo-selectica-sm.png") no-repeat scroll 0 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
padding: 20px 0 20px 10px}

with the exception of the rest of the coding you posted, don't need all that as it's already in the actual theme's script at cPanel.

Thanks a lot! Figured it out!

Topic was moved from Custom Code Modifications.

i'm sorry about this, but i copied and pasted the code in "edit css" section of admin edit theme with "img/image name.png" being the complete path to the logo which i uploaded to graphics but everything remains the same. i even uploaded a jpg image to the header section of the site but apparently that looks invisible just a space the height of the image shows up. this is a little odd...

Logo url was only an example, you have to create your own logo, upload it then use the provided url in it's place.

Again: this needs to all be done at sites Admin section, not cPanel Themes.

Thanks alot. *slapping my forehead*
