Workspace branding
your mark where ours was
Two images make the sidebar yours: a square mark in the workspace switcher, a wide logo at the top. Both belong to the workspace, so everyone in it sees them.
In short
What is workspace branding?
Workspace branding puts your organisation's logo where the software vendor's would sit, so the app you work in wears your name. It changes the screen, not the mail you send.

How it works
A square mark, a wide logo
The mark stands for the workspace in the switcher at the top of the sidebar, and is all that shows there when the sidebar collapses. The logo replaces ours at the top.
Upload it, see where it lands
Both are uploaded in Settings, under Customisations. The page draws your sidebar open and collapsed beside them, so you see where each one lands.
Set once, seen by the whole workspace
The pair belongs to the workspace, so every member sees it on any machine, and each workspace you switch to shows its own. The owner, and anyone whose role can manage the workspace or its settings, can change it.
What you get
In the product today
Replace or remove
Swap either image, or remove it and ours comes back.
SVG stays sharp
Vector art is drawn at full size, so its edges stay clean.
Any machine
It is stored with the workspace, not in one browser.
The whole team
Every member's sidebar changes with it, and your other workspaces keep their own.
Good practice
Getting the most out of it
- 01
Centre the glyph
The mark is cropped to a circle when the sidebar collapses, so keep the artwork centred.
- 02
Mind the width
The logo is drawn 28px tall and 112px wide at most, so anything wider than four to one shrinks.
- 03
Test the dark theme
The same image is shown in the light and dark themes, so dark lettering on a transparent background can disappear.
