Is it possible to over right the cascade of a parent's defined properties?

So I've got a parent div with the class of KS-header-background and a child div inside it with the class of logo. The parent has on it a filter which blurs the background image. however this cascades down and blurs the logo image that is absolutely positioned on top of the background image. Is there anyway to have the background image blurred but the logo text not blurred?

Here is my SASS code for the two classes: 

.KS-header-background
  position: relative
  height: 600px
  background:
    image: linear-gradient(rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4),rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.65)), url(/images/header-background.jpg)
    size: cover
    repeat: no-repeat
    position: 50% 300%
    attachment: fixed
  filter: blur(1.8px)


.logo
  height: 100px
  width: 100%
  background:
    image: url(/images/ks_logo.svg)
    position: center
    repeat: no-repeat
  position: absolute
  top: 50%
  margin-top: -50px
  filter: none

Thanks for taking a look!

Filtering, like opacity, isn't inherited but the effect is imposed on all child elements.

Move the logo div outside of the other one and make them siblings instead of parent/child. Then, adjust the absolute position to place it where you want.
