Let’s be honest, SharePoint 2010 will open eyes to new people and new organizations that have not had experience with WSS or MOSS 2007. One of the first things site admins want to do when they create a site is at least stamp it with their company logo. Here is how to accomplish this task:
What you will need:
- A small version of your logo – preferably no taller than 60 pixels.
- Use a transparent background when possible, so the image looks great under multiple site color themes.
- A URL location to this logo – either by uploading it to a document library, an external site, or the “14 hive” on the file system.
- If you select the file system within the “14 hive” (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\IMAGES), then you will need to copy the image to this location on each front-end web server in the SharePoint farm.
Some site templates provide quick access to the icon settings page, like the image here. However, we’ll navigate to this page from Site Settings so you can apply this from any template.
Click on Site Actions from the top left of the site and select Site Settings:
Click “Title, description, and icon” under the Look and Feel section on the Site Settings page:
Enter your logo URL location and a description – you can even click to test the URL to see if the address works:
**NOTE** If you added the image to the “14 hive” on the file system, then the URL location would be “/_layouts/images/yourlogo.gif” (without quotes).
Click Ok and you will be taken back to the Site Settings page where you should now see your logo displayed in the top of the site!
