Why is SharePoint creating a second image on top of the text in the nav bar?

Question

My top nav bar has a custom image that's 33x38 and my top nav bar is width:100 and height:38. My custom image loads onto the bar fine, but the text area seems to create a second image under it. This second image is the same as the first but just in a different location

Here is a picture of the problem: http://img59.imageshack.us/i/probm.png/

Answer 1

Looks like the image is placed in too-high an element level in the top nav bar, and child elements within that element are replicating the image also.
