post here the piece of code for quick reference:

line 94------------

<?php if($this->countModules('left') and JRequest::getCmd('layout') != 'form') : ?>
<div id="leftcolumn">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="left" style="rounded" />
<!-- hiide logo from left col
<?php $sg = 'banner'; include "templates.php"; ?>
-->
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if($this->countModules('left') and $this->countModules('right') and JRequest::getCmd('layout') != 'form') : ?>
<div id="maincolumn">
<?php elseif($this->countModules('left') and !$this->countModules('right') and JRequest::getCmd('layout') != 'form') : ?>
<div id="maincolumn_left">
<?php elseif(!$this->countModules('left') and $this->countModules('right') and JRequest::getCmd('layout') != 'form') : ?>
<div id="maincolumn_right">
<?php else: ?>
<div id="maincolumn_full">
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="nopad">
<jdoc:include type="message" />
<?php if($this->params->get('showComponent')) : ?>
<jdoc:include type="component" />
<?php endif; ?>

I have just tested the template on a fresh Joomla installation and I can confirm that both left and right columns are hidden if there are no modules published in them. Please check the index.php file of your template and locate this piece of code:

<?php if($this->countModules('left') and JRequest::getCmd('layout') != 'form') : ?>
<div id="leftcolumn">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="left" style="rounded" />
<?php $sg = 'banner'; include "templates.php"; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

As you can see it checks whether there are published modules in the "left" position and if so, only then generates the column div. Make sure you haven't removed or modified the check when you have tried to remove the logo from the column or any other modification.
