Sticky top navbar without having the logo resize

Question

I have the following code:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">

<nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top">
  <div class="container">
    <div class="row">
    
      <nav class="col-sm-6">
        <span class="pull-left">
          <a href="#" class="navbar-left">
            <img src="img/gyn.png" alt="" class="logo">
          </a>
        </span>
      </nav>

      <nav class="col-sm-6">
        <span class="pull-right">
          <ul class="nav navbar-nav thmbl">
            <li><a  class="tupac" href="#team"><strong>TEAM</strong></a></li>
            <li><a class="tupac" href="#services"><strong>SERVICES</strong></a></li>
            <li><a class="tupac" href="#gal"><strong>GALLERY</strong></a></li>    
            <li><a class="tupac" href="#location"><strong>LOCATION</strong></a></li>
          </ul>
        </span>
      </nav>
      
    </div>
  </div>
</nav>

For the life of me I can't understand why the logo is displaying at full size and not being contained in the Navbar. I basically want the logo on the left and my menu items on the right. Moreover, I want them to always be on the samle line, i.e. when I resize the windows (or on a smaller screen like an iPhone for example), it scales down. Maybe I have tunnel vision but can anyone perhaps point out the problem?

Can't say for sure without looking at your css, but images will only be resized if the logo class is configured correctly. You may want to look at this example https://codepen.io/bootstrapped/pen/KwYGwq on how to configure css properly.

For what concerns wrapping, the default behaviour is to wrap especially as you are dividing the screen in 2 columns when small. An option is to play around with CSS (see How to make bootstrap 3 navbar not wrap). Alternatively, play with column sizing so that a small logo doesn't take half screen real estate and the menu items are scaled correctly. For very small screen, the best option is to collapse and show a vertical menu.

This code from bootply should do what you need:

    <div class="container example2">
  <nav class="navbar navbar-default">
    <div class="container-fluid">
      <div class="navbar-header">
        <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbar2">
          <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="http://disputebills.com"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/candidbusiness/image/upload/v1455406304/dispute-bills-chicago.png" alt="Dispute Bills">
        </a>
      </div>
      <div id="navbar2" class="navbar-collapse collapse">
        <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
          <li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
          <li class="dropdown">
            <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-expanded="false">Dropdown <span class="caret"></span></a>
            <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
              <li><a href="#">Action</a></li>
              <li><a href="#">Another action</a></li>
              <li><a href="#">Something else here</a></li>
              <li class="divider"></li>
              <li class="dropdown-header">Nav header</li>
              <li><a href="#">Separated link</a></li>
              <li><a href="#">One more separated link</a></li>
            </ul>
          </li>
        </ul>
      </div>
      <!--/.nav-collapse -->
    </div>
    <!--/.container-fluid -->
  </nav>
</div>

and this is the CSS

.navbar-brand {
  padding: 0px;
}
.navbar-brand>img {
  height: 100%;
  padding: 15px;
  width: auto;
}


/* EXAMPLE 2 (larger logo) - simply adjust top bottom padding to make logo larger */

.example2 .navbar-brand>img {
  padding: 7px 15px;
}



/* CSS Transform Align Navbar Brand Text ... This could also be achieved with table / table-cells */
.navbar-alignit .navbar-header {
      -webkit-transform-style: preserve-3d;
  -moz-transform-style: preserve-3d;
  transform-style: preserve-3d;
  height: 50px;
}
.navbar-alignit .navbar-brand {
    top: 50%;
    display: block;
    position: relative;
    height: auto;
    transform: translate(0,-50%);
    margin-right: 15px;
  margin-left: 15px;
}





.navbar-nav>li>.dropdown-menu {
    z-index: 9999;
}

body {
  font-family: "Lato";
}
