Yes, you can use symbols in Webflow to update your logo on the mobile versions of your website. Symbols are reusable elements that allow you to make changes in one place and have those changes automatically apply to all instances of that element throughout your site.

To update your logo on the mobile version of your website using symbols, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new symbol: Start by creating a symbol containing your logo element. To do this, select the logo element and click on the (+) symbol in the top right corner of the Webflow Designer. Choose "Create symbol" from the dropdown menu. Give your symbol a name and click "Create".

  2. Customize the mobile version of your logo: With your newly created symbol selected, switch to the mobile view in the Webflow Designer. Make the necessary adjustments to the size, position, or any other properties of the logo specifically for the mobile version of your website.

  3. Apply the symbol to your mobile site: Now, go to the pages where you want the updated logo to appear on the mobile version of your site. Replace the existing logo element with the symbol you created. To do this, click on the "+" symbol in the top right corner of the Webflow Designer, select "Symbols" from the dropdown menu, and choose your logo symbol.

  4. Make updates to the logo: Whenever you need to make changes to your logo, simply edit the original symbol. This change will automatically update the logo across all instances of the symbol on your site, including the mobile version.

Using symbols in this way allows you to easily manage and update your logo across multiple versions of your website, ensuring consistency and saving time in the process.
