Hi @joshbrown
To first address your logo, simply add a Link Div to the navbar, and then drag the image/logo into the Div.
That way the Div can be adjusted to any part of the page as you wish. 
And the blue colour you see is actually the current state/page/section that the link corresponds to.
The easiest way to fix it, is to have the link in a current page, and change the blue colour manually into a different colour, it should then affect all current links and change their colour into the one you chose. (Nav link active state colour - #2 by rowan)
