How do I customise my eResearch Space logo?

You can achieve this by using a suitably-named image at the top-level of your Space.

« Back to Table of Contents

By default, a new eResearch Space contains an example image in the top-level of your space that you can either replace or erase.  It will be named "custom_logo.png" and you have the ability to replace this with one of your own choosing.

Please note the image needs to be a PNG (Portable Network Graphics) formatted image - this format is available as an output of essentially all major graphics applications.

Replacing the logo

If you've not already removed the placeholder logo, you can replace it with ease:

  1. Browse to the logo image in the base of your Space.
  2. Click the 'Edit' tab.
  3. Replace the image accordingly by selecting a new image to upload from your computer.
  4. Click Save and view the changes.

Adding a new logo

If you've removed the placeholder logo, you can upload a new logo in its place.  To do this:

  1. On your computer desktop, locate the PNG image you'd like to upload.
  2. Rename this to be custom_logo.png
  3. Browse to the home page of your Space
  4. Click the 'Add New' drop-down menu and select Image
  5. Upload the image from your computer by selecting it in the Image field.
  6. Click Save to see the changes.

Alternatively, if you already have a logo uploaded to your site or don't want to rename your file before upload, you can just rename an image in your Space's top-level to be custom_logo.png

Hiding the logo from navigation

Most people will want to hide the logo from navigation, so that it doesn't appear in the left-hand listing of content. To do this:

  1. Browse to the logo image in the base of your Space.
  2. Click the 'Edit' tab.
  3. Click the 'Settings' tab in the middle of the edit screen.
  4. Select the option 'Exclude from navigation'
  5. Click save and view the changes.

Removing the logo

If you're removing this logo, our default logos fill the space until you have a custom logo present. To do this:

  1. Browse to the logo image in the base of your Space.
  2. Locate the 'Actions' drop-down menu and click it.
  3. Click 'Delete' and confirm your action.
  4. Refresh your browser to see the change.
