Change logo issue in SharePoint
Hello everyone,
I am using SharePoint Server 2007 x64 and Windows Server 2008 x64. I have setup a site with template publishing portal. I have grant anonymous access to all the site.
I want to change site logo image, I am using the following method, but has no effect. Any ideas what is wrong? If my steps are wrong, could anyone let me know what is the correct step to change site logo?
My steps are, in Site Settings --> Modify All Site Settings --> Title, description, and icon, I changed the URL in "Logo URL and Description". But has no effect.
thanks in advance,
George

- Hi George,
so when u perform the action. nothing happens? the logo doesnt get changed for current page also?
because i tried it my self. in my case logo chnages for current page but doesnt for home page. this might be due to master page i guess.
do let me know ur case.
ullasjoshi - "in my case logo chnages for current page but doesnt for home page. this might be due to master page i guess." -- the same effect I met with. Any ideas to change home page logo?
- I have used SharePoint Designer to add an image manully to BlueBand.master, and I have tested it works. I am not sure whether it is the most correct way to do this task (change logo) in my situation?
- George,
If you are open to doing this using a custom master page, that might be your best option. You will run across an issue with this when you go to pages like Site Settings as those pages use a different master page.
If uniformity is your goal for all pages, you might consider creating a custom CSS file that changes the logo and then you can link that simply through the UI under the master page section.
There are a number of ways to change the logo image in a SharePoint site. Master Pages, CSS and the UI change are all good options, it really all just depends on how far and wide you need that logo changed. I just saw this. If you open the master and take away the logo place holder. Save then there is nothing for the Site Settings --> Modify All Site Settings --> Title, description, and icon to be placed into. If you open the master page and place the logo in physically, not inside a placeholder, then it's there and not changable thru the GUI interface.
Jess- Jess, thanks! 1. What is your suggested way to change site logo? 2. I have tried to change from Site Settings --> Modify All Site Settings --> Title, description, and icon, but anonymous user can not see the change, only site administrators can see the change (saw logo change from Site Settings --> Modify All Site Settings page). What do you think is wrong? (I am using SharePoint Server 2007 with publishing portal template.)
- Cathy, thanks! 1. "you might consider creating a custom CSS file that changes the logo and then you can link that simply through the UI under the master page section." -- I did not played with CSS of SharePoint before, and I only played with master page before. Could you let me know detailed steps about what you said -- customization CSS file and link from the CSS file to add a new logo to all sites in the site collection?
2. I have tried to change from Site Settings --> Modify All Site Settings --> Title, description, and icon (which I think is the most easy and correct way), but anonymous user can not see the change, only site administrators can see the change (saw logo change from Site Settings --> Modify All Site Settings page). What do you think is wrong? (I am using SharePoint Server 2007 with publishing portal template.)
