To bolster this ability, we encourage you to obtain and attach a personalized logo to your site as soon as you have it.

Logo Sizing Recommendations*
Following these guidelines, while selecting and preparing your custom logo will allow your image to look it’s very best.
- File types that Carrot accepts: SVG, PNG, JPG, or GIF
- Max file size: 8 MB
- Logo dimensions: The ideal image size is 400 px wide x 140 px high
- Crop any blank/unused space out of the image prior to uploading your file to the Carrot site.
Additional note: Before uploading your logo you’ll notice your Site Title and Tagline are shown. After you upload your logo, your logo will replace the Site Title and Tagline. If you want to incorporate both, we suggest adding a tagline to the logo itself.
