There is a really cheeky little cheat you can do if you are interested.
I haven’t really played with it as my Lens is so f***ed after me playing I need to re-install – hacked to bits it is!! 😉
But, even so playing with my hacked one……
Make a new menü item and set it at first place, make it a text separator (or external url and make it your home page), and then choose an image in Link Type Options on the right, set Add Menu Title to no and heh presto there is an image for you! You’ll have to play with the size of the image so that it fits the menü but if you can live with that……
If you want it on the left next to the spinning thingy, set in navigation.css line 22 to float: left; from float: right;
#mainnav .menu {- float: left;
}
and you’ve got an image next to the spinning thing!! Maybe not elegant but as I said earlier, I quite like hacking!! 😀
As you can see I did this really quick and dirty……..
Right, I’ll get my coat and leave now!! 🙂
Or you can achieve this too by playing a bit with the css (in conjunction with the menü trick) – ask if you want to know and I’ll go back on what I did and try to discover how! 😀

“Make a new menü item and set it at first place, make it a text separator (or external url and make it your home page),”I already have a linked Home page. I don’t understand. I created a new menu item (and I can see where you upload an image) but am getting this error message when I try to save as text separator to Menu Item Root:
“Save failed with the following error: MenusTableMenu: :_getNode Failed “
and I’m not so worried about the home page gizmo…left is more intuitive for it. There is a space between it and HOME of 290 px x 59 px but it would need to fit fully in nav area (centered).
THIS IS CRAZY that a major template like this does not have accommodation for a LOGO? And now all this time to try and figure out something that should be there in the first place. :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:</blockquote>
Oh dear! You’ve got a problem in your database – you’re not alone on this by the way so don’t take it personally! So before we go any further you need to fix that. So try reading this thread – it involves you playing with myphpadmin in your hosting account but then you’ll be good to go and adding a new menü item will work.

The new menü item is in effect nothing – just a place to plant an image – that’s why you’re either going to set it to a text separator (when someone clicks on it nothing happens) or you set it as an external url with http://mypage.com as the link so that it acts like a logo on any other JA site.
If you then want to play with where this menü item (image) is placed perhaps we have a possibility to play with by changing the css in the menü set up. Just have to do some more hacking :p
I don’t build ’em, I just hack ’em! And badly at that! 😀
Hurry up ‘cos I need my ugly sleep! :laugh:
GOOD MORNING SWISSA.
As far as the adding a new menu item error message referred to previously, I’m not getting it (I deleted the new menu item I added and the message has not appeared again).
________________________________________________________I did it. However, I sacrificed the cute circle gif gizmo (which my client would not have wanted but it was cute).
I tested this solution on my iPhone and it works fine. I changed the background to white (default is black even in “Light”).
HERE’s HOW:
1. I checked the template.css and sure enough there was a logo section (WHY DIDN’T I CHECK THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE?)
2. I removed everything except:
/* Logo Text —*/
#logo {
float: left;
position: relative;
width: 148px;
height: 58px;
background: none;
}#logo h1 {
height: 58px;
width: 148px;
background: #de3068
}#logo h1 a {
color: #fff
padding-left: 0px;
width: 148px;
height: 58px;
line-height: 60px;
background: url(../images/logo.png) no-repeat center center;
display: block;
font-size: 0px;
text-indent: -9999em;
}#logo h1 a:hover {
}
#logo h1 a span {
display: none;
}2. I replaced the Ja Lens circle “logo.png” with my own (uploaded it via ftp to the theme/light/images folder because I’m using Light)
3. I changed the width parameters in 3 places
4. Ta da!
5. PROBLEM! Because so much is now different for this responsive template, even the index.php is alien. CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO CORRECTLY LINK THE LOGO BACK TO HOME PAGE.So, that’s the next challenge. 😮
