I'm not a LaTeX expert, but I recently used this excerpted bit in a metadata file, and it worked for me. Your mileage may vary.

```
header-includes: |
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{titling}
\pretitle{\begin{center}
\includegraphics[height=1.25in]{source/full-logo.png}\Huge\vskip 5em}
\posttitle{\vfill \color{NavyBlue} \LARGE Long Title of Project
\par \large PROJECT \par \normalsize Project Agreement No: XXXX \par \end{center}}

Hmm, I don't use Makefile so can't be sure what goes wrong - I put all the fontsize, mainfont, geometry, papersize, etc. in the YAML. Try something simple first:
Create a test.md file with the following content (or use the attachment):
---
date: 24 December 2020
header-includes:
- \usepackage{wallpaper}
- \addtolength{\wpYoffset}{12cm}
- \ThisCenterWallPaper{1}{WGLogo.png}
---

# Your title

Your text.

Then run this command:
pandoc --pdf-engine xelatex -o test.pdf test.md

That should work and you can take it on from there.

Oops. I forgot to delete two lines in my YAML file.

Here's -how I call pandoc in Makefile:
       pandoc \

                --variable mainfont="DejaVu Sans" \

                --variable geometry:a4paper \
                --table-of-contents \

                -o $@

Thanks again,

You could use the wallpaper package (https://ftp.cc.uoc.gr/mirrors/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/wallpaper/wallpapermanual.pdf).
Put the following in your YAML block:
header-includes:
- \usepackage{wallpaper}
- \addtolength{\wpYoffset}{12cm}
- \ThisCenterWallPaper{1}{logo.png}

Change logo.png to whatever you logo is called (make sure it's in the same folder as your txt file) and adjust the Y offset to a value that gets the logo in the required position. You can also change the scale factor {1}.

I'd like to center a logo before the title on my PDF title page.

I found a recipe on the web using \usepackage{titling} in the metadata, but it failed. Can some kind soul show me how?

Many thanks,

LRP
