Logo In Navbar, Spacing Above The Navigation List, And Below The Logo

I have been trying to code a responsive header using Bootstrap 3, I just have one. There is a space above the navigation list, and below the logo as well. How can I line up the two

Solution 1:

Structurally your html differs than my approach and from the docs on bootstrap for the navbar implementation. You put .row around col-* classes. You don't need to duplicate the logo for small and large, if it's the same image. You can also just modify the brand and positioning in the min-width. Don't know your logo widths, but you can easily adjust in the min-width what you need and, also in the min-width, adjust the padding on the parent a so that it visually is in line with the logo.

    float: none;
    right: 0;
    top: 5px;

    .navbar-brand {
        float: none;
        width: auto;
        max-height: none;
        padding: 0!important;
    }
    .navbar-header {
        float: left;
        margin: 0;
        width: 30%;
    }
    /* logo image */
    .navbar-brand img {
        margin: 0;
        max-width: 100%;
        max-height: none;
    }
