Bootstrap - Large logo beside NavBar - html

Question

I'm trying to create a navbar that is a fraction of the size of the logo, and allows for additional content to be place underneath it. Like this:
The jsFiddle below shows what I have now. The black line shows the bottom of the nav bar, which has extended to be the same size as the image.
I have tried setting the height of the nav bar to 50px, but that causes all content underneath it to move up (which really throws the layout off). I have also tried surrounding everything with containers, but that also did not seem to work. I imagine any solution will involve one or both of those ideas, but I am not sure how to implement it.
Here's a Demo in jsFiddle
Here's my code:
<div class ="container-fluid">
<img id="logo" class="img-responsive" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQevVAv_ZVUfI8i5cMpRZGbIu71MGjPUqR70qR7F877JKyWJWdEXw">
<nav class="navbar navbar-default" role="navigation">
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse"
data-target="#example-navbar-collapse">
<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="#"><img class="img-responsive" src="img/logo.jpg"></a> -->
</div>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="example-navbar-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li>Search</li>
<li>Archives</li>
<li>Education</li>
<li>About</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
Any advice would be appreciated.

Answer 1

This will give you a good place to start when it comes to mixing columns and nav elements together while keeping everything orderly and responsive.
Make sure to include Bootstrap CSS, JS and jQuery or your mobile nav toggle won't open. Working example
.navbar.navbar-default {
border-radius: 0px;
border-left: transparent;
}
#navbar-collapse {
border-bottom: 1px solid #266080;
}
.lower-nav {
color: #fff;
font-size: 20px;
padding: 23px 20px;
height: 78px;
color: #266080;
background-color: #fff;
border-bottom: 6px solid #266080;
}
#brand-logo {
background-size: cover;
position: absolute;
}
#brand-logo img {
width: 100%;
height: 130px;
min-width: 150px;
}
div.nopadding {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.nav-buttons {
border-radius: 0px;
}
.navbar-brand {
display: none;
}
.wrapper {
height: auto;
background-color: #fff;
margin-top: 0px;
padding: 10px 20px;
}
.well {
background-color: transparent;
border: 3px solid #428bca;
border-radius: 0px;
text-align: center;
font-size: 25px;
}
#media (max-width: 768px) {
.lower-nav {
font-size: 20px;
padding: 25px 20px;
}
.navbar-brand {
display: block;
}
}
#media (max-width: 480px) {
.lower-nav {
font-size: 18px;
padding: 20px 10px;
}

Answer 2

You could add a row and some columns as I have done below. Placing your image in the first column to the left and then the nav bar in the second column.
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-2">
<a href="#" class="pull-left">
<img id="logo" class="img-responsive" src="http://i.imgur.com/yhGyJ8P.png" />
</a>
</div>
<div class="col-md-10">
<nav class="navbar navbar-default" role="navigation">
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle"
data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#example-navbar-collapse">
<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="#">
<img class="img-responsive" src="img/logo.jpg">
</a> -->
</div>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="example-navbar-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li>Search</li>
<li>Archives</li>
<li>Education</li>
<li>About</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
</div>
</div>

Here is another example you could use with some bootstrap css overrides.
HTML:
Toggle navigation
</button>
</div>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="example-navbar-collapse">
<div class="container-fluid">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li>Search
</li>
<li>Archives
</li>
<li>Education
</li>
<li>About
</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-road"></i>
</li>
<li><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-leaf"></i>
</li>
<li><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-phone"></i>
</li>
<li><a href="#"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></i></li>
</ul>
</div>
<span class="additional-text">This is your additional text</span>
</div>
</nav>
CSS overrides: (Make sure this is after your bootstrap.css file)
/*md+ DESKTOP */
#media (min-width: 768px) {
.collapse.navbar-collapse .nav.navbar-nav:first-child {
border-bottom: 1px solid grey;
}
.collapse.navbar-collapse .container-fluid {
float:right;
}
.additional-text {
position:absolute;
bottom:0px;
margin-bottom:8px;
margin-left:8px;
font-size:22px;
color:grey;
cursor:arrow;
}
}
/* md- overrides MOBILE */
#media (max-width: 767px) {
.collapse.navbar-collapse .nav.navbar-nav:first-child {
border-bottom: 1px solid lightgrey;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
.collapse.navbar-collapse .nav.navbar-nav:first-child li:last-child {
border-bottom: 1px solid lightgrey;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
.collapse.navbar-collapse .nav.navbar-nav:last-child li:first-child a {
padding-top: 0px;
}
.navbar-header img {
max-height:80px;
}
.collapse.navbar-collapse.in .nav.navbar-nav {
float:none !important;
display:block;
}
.additional-text {
position:relative;
font-size:22px;
display:none;
}
}
