I do no know exactly what you are trying to accomplish, but the idea would be to put some sort of wrapper div around your logo, and give that wrapper div a background, whether it be an image, gradient, etc. Then depending on what you are using, you can use the background-position to move it around. This will help ensure your background stays a background, and your logo stays in the foreground, without adding extra markup and messing around with z-index's, which can get hairy.

Some clarity might help, I'd suggest you start a new pen on Codepen.io, and if you need more help, save it and post that link here. Than we can all see your code and help make edits.
