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.


 * Image size
 * Logos can have a maximum height of 155 pixels - anything more than this will get cut off.
 * The maximum width of a logo file is more variable: Monaco can use a logo up to 216 pixels in width. However, be aware that the Monobook skin is limited to a width of 155 pixels - anything wider will be cut off (the result will be roughly centered).
 * Logos are centered vertically and horizontally in the display area, so smaller logos are entirely feasible.


 * File format
 * 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.)
 * Logo images may use transparency.


 * Help making logos
 * 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.
