I want to add my institution logos to my CV but unfortunately they don't appear in right place. How should I edit the code to make the picture appear right above the city without making the "institution" to go down, i.e. to make it flow there aligned with other information?

I see two problems you're trying to deal with:
The definition of the
\cventrycommand involves atabular*environment, and so it's not very friendly to the use of line breaks. To work around this, one can put both the logo and the city name in a TikZ node, which allows line breaks, and input the TikZ picture in the "city" field. To implement this, you can use define the following macro:which takes three arguments:
\includegraphicscommandNote that the option
[baseline=(n.center)]to\tikzcauses the baseline of the TikZ picture to the center of the node, thus solving the second problem as well.Full Code
Notice that I've loaded the
tikzpackage (themwepackage is loaded just to provide the image used in this example. You don't need it.)Output
Update in reply to comment
If one wants to get nice alignment between the "city-year-image" group and the "institute-degree/grade" group, then some "hacking" of the
moderncvstyle is involved. Based on the definition of\cventry, I define a new command called\cventrylogo, which extends\cventryby allowing for a logo entry. The command is defined as follows:It takes 7 arguments (plus 1 optional argument, right now I'm assuming that all 7 arguments will be used, I haven't tested the scenarios where some are omitted), and is used in the following form:
and the output looks like this:
Update 2
\cventrylogocan be defined so that "institute-degree/grade-description" can be mid-aligned as a group.Thus using
\cventrylogoas in the first update produces(The black lines are drawn just to show the effect of vertical alignment.)
