[Tex/LaTex] Tikz Poster – Aligning titlegraphic to the right of the title

positioningposterstikzpostertitles

I would like to create a poster title, with a logo right-aligned, rather than on top of the title text. What I have is:

\documentclass[25pt, a0paper, landscape, margin=0mm, innermargin=15mm, blockverticalspace=15mm, colspace=15mm, subcolspace=8mm]{tikzposter}
\usetheme{Desert}

\title{Detecting Multi-word Expressions in Typed Text} 
\author{AdamG} 
\institute{Graduate Center}
\titlegraphic{\includegraphics{GCLogo.jpg}}

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}

How can I change the logo's alignment?

       \@titlegraphic
    \end{minipage}
}
\makeatother

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}

Please make fine adjustments like the width of minipages to suit your taste.

Edit:

You make make the title centered by this way:

\documentclass[25pt, a0paper, landscape, margin=0mm, innermargin=15mm, blockverticalspace=15mm, colspace=15mm, subcolspace=8mm]{tikzposter}
\usetheme{Desert}

\title{Detecting Multi-word Expressions in Typed Text}
\author{AdamG}
\institute{Graduate Center}
\titlegraphic{\includegraphics{example-image}}

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\TP@maketitle{%
   \centering
   \begin{minipage}[b]{0.8\linewidth}
        \centering
        \color{titlefgcolor}
        {\bfseries \Huge \sc \@title \par}
        \vspace*{1em}
        {\huge \@author \par}
        \vspace*{1em}
        {\LARGE \@institute}
    \end{minipage}%
      \tikz[remember picture,overlay]\node[scale=0.8,anchor=east,xshift=0.56\linewidth,yshift=3.9cm,inner sep=0pt] {%
       \@titlegraphic
    };
}
\makeatother

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}

Again, fine adjustments may be made as per the needs.

Your have scaled your second logo to width 13cm but placed it in a minipage of width 5cm. When you write

 \begin{minipage}[c][10cm][c]{5cm}
   ...
 \end{minipage}

you are producing a box that is 10cm high and 5cm wide, with material centered horizontally and vertically. You need to make the width at least as large as your image:

Sample output

\documentclass{a0poster}
\usepackage{graphicx,float}
\begin{document}
% Left logo
\begin{minipage}[c][0.1\textheight][c]{0.12\textwidth}
  % \hfill
  \hspace*{1.2cm}
  \includegraphics[height=3cm,angle=0]{example-image-a.png}
\end{minipage}
% Title
\begin{minipage}[c][0.05\textheight][c]{0.75\textwidth}
  \begin{center} \LARGE
    {\textbf{Title}}\\[-5.0mm]
    {\large \textbf{Name 1}$^{(1)}$, \textbf{Name 2}$^{(2)}$}\\[3mm] \small
    {$^{(1)}$ department, University, country \\[2mm]
    $^{(2)}$ department, University, country \\[2mm]
    contact: \emph{email}}
  \end{center}
\end{minipage}
% Right logo
\begin{minipage}[c][10cm][c]{15cm}
  \begin{figure}[H]
    \hfill
    \includegraphics[width=13cm]{example-image-b.png}
  \end{figure}
\end{minipage}

\end{document}

Your code didn't show which poster class you were using, see How to create posters using LaTeX for a nubber of choices.

You must make sure there is enough space for your final logo. As it stands the left logo plus the heading block fill 0.12+0.75=0.87 of the \textwidth. Thus final logo must have width less than 0.13\textwidth to fit on the page. In the above example this ensured by using a0 paper, as provided by the a0poster package.

Using tikzpicture overlay option works for me.Note that you must compile the document at least twice for the image to be at the right place.

You can adjust the opacity and the size of the picture. I highly recommand vector graphics such as those of svg, emf formats, becuase low res raster images will look awful when scaled up. Also, you want to use images with transparent background, jpg certainly does not support it. This is because unless your background is pure white in colour or matches the background of the scale image exactly, it will look odd.

\documentclass{tikzposter}
\usepackage{tikz,multicol}
\begin{document}

\block{Symmetries and Conservation laws}{   

%The image I want beneath the text
{\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
        \node[at=(current page.center),opacity=0.3] {
        \includegraphics[width=0.8\paperwidth]{scale}
        };
    \end{tikzpicture}}

%The rest is just the text I want on top of the image
Conservation laws are crucial to our fundamental understanding of the universe and provide the answers to many physical problems. However, asking the question of \textsl{why} some quantities are conserved over others leads us to the deep connection between symmetries in physics and conservation laws, a connection established by Emmy Noether in 1918; \textbf{Noether's Theorem}:

\vspace{0.5cm}
\begin{quotation}
\centering
{\Large
\textsl{\textbf{For every continuous symmetry in a system there is a corresponding quantity that is conserved in time.}}}
\end{quotation}
\vspace{0.5cm}

A symmetry in a system is the invariance of that system under some transformation. Classically we make several assumptions of symmetries in the universe which ensure that we can be scientific in our understanding of the universe

\setlength{\columnsep}{30pt}
 \begin{multicols*}{3}
        {\color{red}\centering\textbf{Translational symmetry} is invariance under  \textsl{translation in space}. So an experiment produces the same results at one end of the lab as the other. \vfill\columnbreak}
        {\color{blue}\centering\textbf{Rotational symmetry} is invariance under \textsl{rotation}. So an experiment produces the same results facing east as when we face north. \vfill\columnbreak}
        {\color{magenta}\centering\textbf{Temporal symmetry} is invariance with \textsl{time}. So an experiment gives the results today as it will tomorrow. \vfill}
    \end{multicols*} 
\setlength{\columnsep}{10pt}

These are very physical symmetries and appear as common sense, but are clearly vital if we hold any faith to the idea of repeating experiment. We will focus on these symmetries and exlore their connections to familiar conservation laws by two different methods; a classical approach and a quantum mechanical one.
