Navbar brand
Bootstrap 5 Navbar brand component
Responsive Navbar brand built with Bootstrap 5. Examples of responsive navbar brands include the image, the icon, in center or a background color.
Basic example
Use .navbar-brand
to get a brand.
The .navbar-brand
can be applied to most elements, but an anchor works best, as some elements might require utility classes or custom styles.
<!-- Navbar -->
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg bg-body-tertiary navbar-light">
<!-- Container wrapper -->
<div class="container-fluid">
<!-- Navbar brand -->
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Brand</a>
</div>
<!-- Container wrapper -->
</nav>
<!-- Navbar -->
Image and text
Adding images to the .navbar-brand
will likely always require custom styles or utilities to properly size.
<!-- Image and text -->
<nav class="navbar navbar-light bg-body-tertiary">
<div class="container-fluid">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">
<img src="https://mdbcdn.b-cdn.net/img/logo/mdb-transaprent-noshadows.webp" class="me-2" height="20" alt="MDB Logo" loading="lazy" />
<small>MDBootstrap</small>
</a>
</div>
</nav>
Icon and text
You can place icons in .navbar-brand
using the CSS Prefix fa
and the icon's name. Icons are designed to be used with inline elements (we like the <i>
tag for brevity, but using a
<span>
is more semantically correct).
<!-- Icon and text -->
<nav class="navbar navbar-light bg-body-tertiary">
<div class="container-fluid">
<a class="navbar-brand mt-lg-0" href="#"> <i class="fas fa-icons me-2"></i><small>MDBootstrap</small> </a>
</div>
</nav>
In center
Add .d-flex
, .justify-content-between
and .flex-row
next to the .container-fluid
, create a 3 div
, in the 2nd (middle) put .navbar-brand
to center the
brand.

Background color
Theming the navbar has never been easier thanks to the combination of theming classes and
background-color
utilities. Choose from .navbar-light
for use with light background colors, or .navbar-dark
for dark background colors. Then, customize with .bg-*
utilities.
See also our color docs to learn more about colors.
