If we can edit the markup  life can be easier  just remove text and be happy  But sometimes the markup was placed by JS code or we just aren t allowed to edit it at all  too bad css turned to be the only weapon placed at our disposal   We cannot place a  lt span gt  wrapping the text and hide the whole tag  By the way  some browsers do not only hides elements with display none but also disables the components inside   Both font-size 0px and color transparent may be good solutions  but some browsers don t understand them  We can t rely on them   I suggest   h1     background-image  url  LOGO png       Our image      text-indent  -3000px      Send text out of viewable area      height  100px  width  600px      height and width are a must  agree      overflow hidden      make sure our size is respected        Using overflow hidden enforces our width  amp  height   Some browsers  will not name them    IE  may read width and height as min-width and min-height  I want to prevent box to be enlarged

To hide text from html use text-indent property in css   classname    text-indent  -9999px   white-space  nowrap          for dynamic text you need to add white-space  so your applied css will not disturb  nowrap means text will never wrap to the next line  the text continues on the same line until a  lt br gt  tag is encountered

Do not use   display none    It makes the content inaccessible  You want screen-readers to see your content  and visually style it by replacing the text with an image  like a logo   By using text-indent  -999px  or a similar method  the text is still there      just not visually there  Use display none  and the text is gone
