Something to consider for a future update perhaps.
I think there should be a checkbox option to “Show Site Title” if no image is found. Right now, the Site Title is disabled and there is just a hamburger menu icon in it’s place… even though “Hide site title” is unchecked in Customizing > Site Identity.
Sticky Navigation = On
Sticky Navigation Logo = None
I think that actually works good sir, yes. If I check that box and set Branding Type = Site Title it makes (almost) everything work as desired. Right now I have a full width header type and it shrinks it down to match container width but I think I can fiddle with some CSS to tweak that.
