Help:Logo

If you are looking for help on changing the wiki icon, see Help:Favicon

As soon as possible after launching a new wiki, you should create a custom logo to replace the default "Wikia" logo.

How do I create a logo?
You can create a logo using any image editing software that allows you to save files in .png format.

You should create the logo with an image/canvas size of 135 by 155 pixels or less. Smaller logos can be effective, and will show in the center of the logo area. If you upload a larger image, the edges will be cut off. Logo images may use transparency.

Save the image to your hard drive in .png format. (Note that the ".png" file extension must be in lower case. If it is saved as .PNG you should rename it before uploading it.)

If you would like assistance with a logo design, add some suggestions about what you'd like to the forums of Logo Creation Wiki, and the Wikia community can help.

How do I replace the default logo with my own?


Upload the 135 by 155 pixel logo to the "destination filename"
 * ''Note: the old 'Quartz' skins used a wide rectangle logo, located at, its size was 266 by 75.

How do I protect the logo?
To prevent vandalism, it is recommended that an admin protect the logo and favicon, so that only admins can upload a new version. Logos are NOT automatically protected. Admins can protect the images the same as any other page on the wiki.
