Try this instead:

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    android:layout_height="?actionBarSize"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:paddingRight="16dp"
    android:background="@color/colorPrimary">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:orientation="horizontal">

        <ImageView
            android:padding="5dp"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_launcher"/>

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/toolbar_title"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="MyApplication"
            android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.Widget.AppCompat.Toolbar.Title"
            android:textColor="@color/colorWhite" />

    </LinearLayout>

</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

Using LinearLayout will allow you to easily make sure the views don't overlap. I also added 16dp of padding to the right side to compensate for the 16dp margin android automatically adds to the left side.
