    Default Another logo issue :)

    Hi all.
    I have looked around for the fix for my problem, but yet to find a solution, or i might be overlooking something.
    On my site i have a logo, and i have recently had someone redo the slogan under the picture (made it bigger to read).
    Now the original file was called logo.png, so i uploaded the new file and renamed to logo.png also.
    The new logo now looks bigger than the last one and is not sitting correctly.
    I have gone through the header.php etc and tried to change the width and height but with no luck.
    I have also tried to rename the file to logo2.png and rename it in the header logo wrapper area still with no luck.
    The logo i have now is the original, so any advise on how to get the new logo up would be appreciated.
    Original logo size i think is 300px x 110px, and the new one is 576px x 360px.
    I have even tried to resize my logo to match the original one, but again it does not work.
    My site is www.cakekraft.co.uk if you could have a look and help i would be grateful.
    Regards,
    Nic.

    We'll probably have to see the new image in place to advise. Any chance you uploaded the new image to the wrong folder ?

    Did you alter correct header.php file?
    Should be
    /includes/languages/english/nameofyourtemplate/header.php

    Hi, i have now uploaded the new logo.
    As you can see it is bigger than the last one.
    The logo is in the correct folder as logo2.png
    I have tried to alter the /includes/languages/english/modern_black/header.php :
    // added defines for header alt and text
    define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'Cake Kraft');
    define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '');
    define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '131px');
    define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '37px');
    define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo2.png');

    but if i try to change the width and height to 300px and 110px as the size needed it does not seem to work correctly.

    That image is 576 X 360, which is why it takes up so much more space. I think you want to crop it to something like 375 X 190 in your imaging software, which will remove the extra space but leave the larger logo image.

    Hi, thnaks for replying.
    I have cropped the image as close as possible to the logo sides, but how would i make the logo image smaller? Is this done in the header.php, because i tried to make it 300x110 and it would not alter the logo size.
    Is there any other files i need to change to get the image size to be set at 300px x 110px?
    Thanks.

    If i right click and view source:
    <!--bof-branding display-->

    <div id="logoWrapper"><div id="logo"><a href="http://www.cakekraft.co.uk/"><img src="includes/templates/modern_black/images/logo2.png" alt="Cake Kraft" title=" Cake Kraft " width="352" height="143" /></a></div></div>
    <div class="header_social"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cake-Kraft/218492734830894" target="_blank"><img src="images/social/fb.png" alt="Facebook" width="32" height="32"></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://twitter.com/cakekraft" target="_blank"><img src="images/social/tw.png" width="32" height="32"></a>
    </div>

    How do i get this file to change the side as explained in the above post?
