Written by jake In this tutorial, we are going to show you how to add your logo to your Carrot site. If you don’t have a logo yet… no worries! This tutorial will still help you update the default text logo for your site. Or you can check out the learn more section below for some awesome resources to help you get a logo for your business.
What you’ll need:
Your logo! Below are a few suggestions and requirements for your logo.
- File types accepted:
- SVG, PNG, JPG or GIF
- Max file size for the logo is 8 MB
- Logo dimensions:
- There isn’t really a set size your logo must be as some will be more square and some will be more rectangular.
- The ideal size is approximately 400 px wide x 140 px tall.
- However, the most important thing is to make sure it isn’t too big. Probably shouldn’t be wider than 400px.
- White space
- Before uploading your logo you should crop out as much white space as you can.
- If you need help with that, reach out to us and we can show you how to do that.
Additional note – logo vs. title & tagline
Before uploading your logo you’ll notice your site title and tagline are shown. After you upload your logo, your logo will replace the tagline and title.
If you want to incorporate both, we definitely suggest adding a tagline to the logo itself.
Step 1: Go To Your Site Dashboard
Step 2: Go To The Design Tab
Step 3: Click on Branding
Step 4: Click on Select Image and Find your Image File
Custom Site Icon is the first option. This will add an icon by your default text logo and place a custom icon on a browser tab. You may commonly see this referred to as a favicon.
Logo is the second option and replaces the site’s default text logo.
Step 5: Click the image you want to use
Step 6: Save your changes
