Forum:Adding Logo?

Wikia - creating communities

I was wondering is it possible to upload a custom image for the logo in the top left of my wiki? And if it is, then how would I do it?

You'll need to upload the image as "Image:Wiki.png". There are also some limitations to it's size, it think it has to be less then 150px in height and width.--Richard (Talk - Contribs) 22:08, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

150x155px is a bit of a standard size. You can't get much larger because the logo goes in without any size modifications so if it's to big it'll overflow and parts will get cut. Oh... A quick element information grabbing tells me that the A which the image is inside of is exacty 155px by 155px, so if you go larger than that your logo will have it's edges cut off. ~Dantman^(talk) tricks Apr 26, 2007 _@ 23:07 ^(UTC)

For best display, use a .png image 135 pixels wide and no larger than 155 pixels tall. You can use index transparency if you like (alpha transparency won't work on IE versions earlier than 7). — Catherine o' the ComTeam 05:37, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

You can also find many favicon generators on the net to convert a square image into a 16x16 .ico file to display in address bars and tabs -- it must be uploaded to your Wikia as "favicon.ico". It sometimes takes a few hours or even a few days for a favicon to become visible. Clear your cache and be patient; if it's still not working after a day or two let a staff member know so the techs can poke the server.  :) — Catherine o' the ComTeam 05:37, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
