Templante header_welcomeblock_member

<!-- Continuation of div(class="upper") as opened in the header template -->
 <span class="welcome">{$lang->welcome_back} <a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/member.php?action=logout&amp;logoutkey={$mybb->user['logoutkey']}" class="logout">{$lang->welcome_logout}</a></span>
 </div>
</div>

I'm sure I have a coding problem or an over styling problem but I have studied and I don't know how to fix it.... 

please, any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated.
as I always write, I am not a programmer but I like to customize my forum and at the same time I am learning little by little.

Thank You in advance

In global.lang.php is welcome_back. Default value is

<strong>Welcome back, {1}</strong>. You last visited: {2}

Replace it with this

<strong>Welcome back,</strong> <strong style="background-color:red;padding:12px;">{1}</strong>. You last visited: {2}

You may need to CTRL-F5 after the change to see results.

You can also modify the .welcome a.logout class in css
