Advanced SharePoint Customization: Adding your company logo with a twist
A few months ago while creating the Free Theme Pack I made numerous posts on theme and css customization which spawned several other discussions and comments. One noteable was how to add your company logo to the page using CSS, quite a few of us tried different things and in the end we were left with manipulating .ms-banner and .ms-bannerframe in order to get the job done.
Today while working on a new project I found myself again implementing the company logo with the theme, however this time I needed more. I needed the menu bar separate.
With the current version there is no way to separate the "logo background from the top navigation background"
However with a little thought and some slightly more advanced CSS I was able to accomplish exactly what I needed. The screenshot below shows the separation between the logo and nav bar."
To accomplish this I used the same method of manipulating the .ms-banner and .ms-bannerframe but with a few extras.
This time I added a border to .ms-banner which would ultimately act as the navigation bar. Then I added position:relative to the .ms-banner a:link states so that I could then move them down onto the border using the "top" property.
This lets me have a background color for the menu (technically it's the border) and still keep a clear separation of the background behind the logo which is actually .ms-bannerframe.

Hope it helps - happy customizing!
