Help:Logo

There are two logos for each wiki: a nearly square one for older skins and a rectangular one for the new Quartz skin. You can create custom logos for your wiki to replace the default "Wikia" logos.



How do I create logos?
Logos must be in .png format. Most image editing programs will save images in this format, and will allow you to resize images to the correct size for your logo. The square logo should be 135 by 155 pixels or less, and the rectangular 266 by 75 pixels or less. Larger images will show, but not correctly. Smaller logos can be effective, and will show in the center of the logo area.



How do I change the default logos?
Upload the square logo (135 x 155 pixels) to the "destination filename" Image:Wiki.png

Upload the rectangular logo (266 x 75 pixels) to the "destination filename" Image:Wiki_wide.png



How do I change the favicon?
A favicon or favorites icon, can be uploaded to Wikia to give a personalized icon associated with your Wikia. These will be shown in the browser's address bar, next to the site's name in lists of bookmarks, and, in tabbed browsers, next to the page's title.

Create an icon (16x16 pixels) from another image file using a favicon generator (search the web to find one), then upload the .ico file to "Image:Favicon.ico" to add one to your Wikia.



How do I change the search logo?
A logo can be placed above the search box in the sidebar in older skins such as Monobook or Slate. Upload a file called "Search_logo.png". (size?)



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