Want your Shopify header logo to glow when customers hover over it? 🌟 In this tutorial, we’ll show you step-by-step how to create this Shopify logo hover effect, and as a result, make your store visually stunning! Additionally, this effect is perfect for boosting your brand’s visual appeal while making your website feel more interactive.

Step 1: Backup Your Shopify Theme

Before editing any code, always duplicate your theme:

1. Go to Online Store > Themes
2. Click Actions > Duplicate
   This ensures you can restore the original theme if anything goes wrong.

Step 2: Open Theme Code Editor

1. Go to Online Store > Themes
2. Click Actions > Edit code
3. Open Assets > theme.css or theme.scss.liquid

Step 3: Add CSS for Hover Glow

Scroll to the bottom of your CSS file and add this code:

/* Shopify Logo Hover Effect */
.site-header__logo img {
  transition: all 0.3s ease-in-out;
}

.site-header__logo img:hover {
  filter: drop-shadow(0 0 15px #FFD700);
  transform: scale(1.05);
}

Explanation:

• transition: smooth effect when hovering
• drop-shadow: creates the glowing effect
• transform: scale: slightly enlarges the logo for a subtle pop

Step 4: Save and Preview

1. Click Save
2. Go to your store and hover over the header logo to see the glowing effect

Step 5: Enhance Your Logo Hover Effect

You can experiment with different glow colors or pulsing effects:

.site-header__logo img:hover {
  filter: drop-shadow(0 0 20px #00FFFF);
  animation: pulse 1.5s infinite;
}

@keyframes pulse {
  0%, 100% { transform: scale(1.05); }
  50% { transform: scale(1.1); }
}

This makes your logo glow in a more dynamic way and, as a result, draws more attention.

Moreover, by applying this Shopify logo hover effect, you can instantly improve your store’s user experience and engagement. In fact, it works perfectly for beginners and advanced users alike—therefore, no coding expertise is required.
