You can use the plugin API to add text next to your logo. There are more details from a related question here: [Adding header links post vdom upgrade](https://meta.discourse.org/t/adding-header-links-post-vdom-upgrade/43284)

For example: add this to your theme in the `Header` section

```JS
<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8">
   api.decorateWidget('home-logo:after', helper => {
  return helper.h('div.custom-text', 'I appear after the logo');
});
</script> 

```

You can then use CSS to target the `.custom-text` div to change the position of your text.
