Help:Logo

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 replace the default favicon?
A favicon ("favorites icon") is a small graphic shown in the browser's address bar, next to the site's name in lists of bookmarks, and, in tabbed browsers, on the tab next to the page's title. Wikia's default favicon is a yellow "w". You can upload a new image to give your project a customized icon.

Create an icon (16x16 pixels) from another image file using image editing software or an online favicon generator, then upload the .ico file to the "destination filename" Favicon.ico.

How do I protect the logo and favicon?
To prevent vandalism, logos are automatically protected so that only admins can upload a new version. It is recommended that an admin protect the favicon as well.
