Left logo AND Centered title in Bootstrap navbar - html

Question

Using the code from this SO Answer, I am trying to combine example 6 and 8 where I have a LOGO (Example 6) AND a Title/Brand (Example 8), which are always visible even in mobile screen (similar to example 8).
I have made minor changes, but I am not sure how to combine them.
Modified Bootply containing only example 6 and 8: Bootply

I think I understand what you're asking. You could use the class navbar-text and include it in navbar-header. Here's a Fiddle. It still displays the text in mobile.
<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
<div class="container-fluid">
<!-- Brand and toggle get grouped for better mobile display -->
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#bs-example-navbar-collapse-1" aria-expanded="false">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-equalizer" aria-hidden="true"></span></a>
<p class="navbar-text">brand text here yadda yadda</p>
</div>
EDIT: Then you need to configure the CSS like this:
.navbar-text {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
left: 0;
text-align: center;
margin: auto;
padding-top: 10px;
}
Here's an updated Fiddle. You can adjust the height of the .navbar-text using padding or line-height.
