Types Of Logo You Need

There are 4 types of logo you need for your brand. A standard logo, then you need the same logo in black and white and finally a favicon.

On the Knorish platform, you can add all these types of logo for which the size must be under 100 KB size, and for a Favicon, the size should be under 10 KB.

Adding Your Logo

To add a logo to your site, follow these steps :

Log in to your dashboard.
Hover over the cursor to 'Upload Your Custom Branding' & simply click on 'Upload' as highlighted in the video above
On the next screen, you have the option to change the logo for the website, user dashboard, emailers, and certificate.
Click on change and select the logo png file from your System/ PC/ Desktop. Once uploaded, you would get a 'success' pop-up as well as a notification that the logo has been uploaded.
To preview the logo the same can be done by clicking on 'preview'.
Once done, the logos would be updated on the screen itself and can be previewed as well.

Note: The PNG file (transparent background file) of the logo should be less than 100 KB in size.

What is a Favicon?

A favicon is a small icon that is visible next to the name of the site on the browser window tab. For example, if you open google.com, you would notice the famous G icon next to the site name as shown below as an example.

This small effort goes a long way in creating your brand identity via your website. Additionally, in a slew of tabs open on a browser, it helps your users identify which tab is your website. As an industry-standard practice, a Favicon is a must for your site. To upload the Favicon, the process to update remains the same as listed above. Simply click on upload, choose the icon file and select. To preview you can click on 'Preview' to preview the look as well.

Important Considerations:

A favicon must be under 10 KB in size. In case the file size is more than 10 KB the system would give you an error message.
