Here's what's happening and how to fix it step by step: **Why the logo gets distorted:** In Superset 6.x, the old `APP_ICON` config key is deprecated and ignored by the frontend [[1]](https://app.dosu.dev/a28d3c7e-a9d3-459e-9fb6-3a6f9ff4f357/documents/876a241f-01db-445e-a093-f65266ed16ff) [[2]](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/35298). The navbar logo is now controlled entirely by theme tokens (`brandLogoUrl`, `brandLogoHeight`, `brandLogoMargin`) rendered in [Menu.tsx](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/features/home/Menu.tsx#L267-L289). If you only set `brandSpinnerUrl` in your theme without also setting the logo tokens, the logo falls back to defaults that may not match your custom image's dimensions, causing it to appear oversized or stretched. **Step-by-step fix:** 1. **Set all brand logo tokens together** in your `superset_config.py`. Note that the backend config key is `THEME` [[3]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/config.py#L676-L686), though it's commonly set via `THEME_DEFAULT` depending on your setup [[1]](https://app.dosu.dev/a28d3c7e-a9d3-459e-9fb6-3a6f9ff4f357/documents/876a241f-01db-445e-a093-f65266ed16ff): ```python THEME_DEFAULT = { "token": { "brandLogoUrl": "/static/assets/images/your-logo.svg", "brandLogoAlt": "Your Company", "brandLogoHeight": "24px", # fixed height; width auto-scales "brandLogoMargin": "18px 0", # vertical spacing "brandSpinnerUrl": "/static/assets/images/tvheryerde.svg", } } ``` The built-in defaults are `brandLogoHeight: "24px"` and `brandLogoMargin: "18px"` [[1]](https://app.dosu.dev/a28d3c7e-a9d3-459e-9fb6-3a6f9ff4f357/documents/876a241f-01db-445e-a093-f65266ed16ff). Adjust `brandLogoHeight` if your logo needs to be taller. 2. **Check your SVG file's attributes.** Your logo SVG's `<svg>` tag needs a proper `viewBox` with a sensible aspect ratio (e.g., `viewBox="0 0 200 50"` for a wide logo). Without a `viewBox` or with an unusual one, the browser can't scale it proportionally within the height constraint, causing the stretched/enlarged appearance. The `.navbar-brand` container sets `height: 100%` and `object-fit: contain` on the `<img>` [[4]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/features/home/Menu.tsx#L60-L74), and the container's width is capped by `brandIconMaxWidth` [[5]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/features/home/Menu.tsx#L70), so a very wide logo could get clipped. 3. **Restart Superset** (or wait ~60 seconds) after making changes. The bootstrap data that carries theme tokens to the frontend is [cached for 60 seconds](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/views/base.py#L295-L298). 4. **Verify the key name.** A mistyped config key is silently ignored, and Superset falls back to defaults. The spinner and the logo use completely separate code paths — `Menu.tsx` for the logo [[6]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/features/home/Menu.tsx#L267-L289) and the `Loading` component / `spa.html` for the spinner [[7]](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/34764) — so setting `brandSpinnerUrl` alone shouldn't affect the logo unless the theme override is incomplete. If the distortion persists after setting all the tokens above, could you share the opening `<svg ...>` tag of your logo file and your full `THEME_DEFAULT` block? That would help determine whether it's an SVG dimension issue or something else. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](<https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fsuperset>).* --- Docs are dead.
