Navigation bar button image

I am using this code to get a logo on my nav bar. 

override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {

    let image = UIImage(named: "LogoWithTextSmaller.png")
    self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(image: image, style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Plain, target: nil, action: nil)
    }

This is fine, but the logo doesn't have any colour - besides 'blue'. Is it because it is a png file. Is there something I can so it retains the original colours

I have done this: 

self.navigationItem.titleView = UIImageView(image: image)

and that brings the image onto the nav bar with the correct colours - but it's in the middle and I want it on the left.

Swift 3 If the item is missing, you can try this.

  let navigationBar = navigationController?.navigationBar
  let topItem = navigationBar?.topItem
  var navigateimage = UIImage(named: "addConnectionFromSupport")
  navigateimage = navigateimage?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysOriginal)
  topItem?.rightBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(image: navigateimage, style:.plain, target: nil, action: nil)

Swift 3.0

let btnLogo = UIButton(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 25, height: 25))
btnLogo.setTitle("", for: .normal)
btnLogo.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
btnLogo.layer.cornerRadius = 4.0
btnLogo.layer.masksToBounds = true

var imageLogo = UIImage(named: "LogoWithTextSmaller.png")
imageLogo = imageLogo?.withRenderingMode(UIImageRenderingMode.alwaysOriginal)
btnLogo.setImage(imageLogo, for: .normal)

let barButton = UIBarButtonItem(customView: btnLogo)
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = barButton

swift 2.0

var image = UIImage(named: "Filter")
image = image?.imageWithRenderingMode(UIImageRenderingMode.alwaysOriginal)

Objective-C

 UIImage *image = [[UIImage alloc] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal];

 UIBarButtonItem *_btnLeftBar = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"LogoWithTextSmaller.png"]
                                                      style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
                                                     target:self
                                                     action:@selector(yourMethod)];

 self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem= _btnLeftBar;

In Swift 3 the same would be accomplished using the following syntax

var image = UIImage(named: "Filter")
image = image?.withRenderingMode(UIImageRenderingMode.alwaysOriginal)
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(image:image , style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.plain, target: nil, action: nil)

You need to declare that the image stays original all the time. so add the code as below

var image = UIImage(named: "image-name")
image = image?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysOriginal)
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(image: image, style:.plain, target: nil, action: nil)
