Forum:Logo size

Hello. I have noticed that on some wikis, the logos are larger than 135 x 155 px. How big can logos be, so that they fill the entire upper left corner (the space for the logo)? Sometimes it is easier to create larger logos that look better, so I was just wondering if they all still had to be 135 x 155. Thanks!  Swannie   - ( talk ) 14:02, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * mediawiki defines that the size of Image:Wiki.png is 135x155. but... in the monobook skin, it is not strictly enforced. a larger (usually wider) logo just takes up more room. users had to remember to keep it small, or it would take up as much room it needed (usually pushing things around). In Monaco, the size IS enforced with overflow clipping. Some work is being done to see if its possible to allow for slightly larger sizes in Monaco. The problem is, that the logo file shares its use for 2 different skins, and logo creators need to be aware of that. Also, the logo is used outside of the wiki in other places (such as on its link hub page here on central, and a suddendly large image would be very disruptive. It is best to try to stay within the 135w 155h size for best compatibility for past, current, and any possible uses. --Uberfuzzy 14:31, 28 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Some of what you just said was a tad false. On the wikia where i've done a logo when thoses wikia where on Monobook, it was at max 150 px wide. That is why i've inserted a CSS rule on wikia where i'm sysop so the logo space be 150 px wide and dont be truncated anymore (Monaco.css) :

width:150px; }
 * 1) wiki_logo, #wiki_logo a {
 * But, recently, the logo of thoses wikia has been aligned to the left of the widget column. I prefer it to be centered... Not sure why this last thing as occured. — TulipVorlax 17:00, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
