How to insert a logo on left and right side of pdf title

I can insert the Rlogo.png on both sides of the page using ![](RLogo2.png) \hspace{3 in} ![](RLogo2.png) However, I can't find the way to insert the Rlogo.png right next to the pdf title. I would like the logo to be on both left and right sides of the title on the first page. Can someone help with this please. Code below:

---
title: "Shiny Installation here"
output:
  pdf_document:
    toc: yes
---

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
```

Solution

  • You can use \makeatletter and redefinde the title with \def\@maketitle to include the RLogo2.png to the left and to the right. This assumes, that the file RLogo2.png lies in the same directory as your r-markdown file.
