- [Instructor] The logo for a site sits up here
in the upper left-hand corner, and it's simply
the first letter of the name of the site.
So, in this case, Sales, it's simply the letter S.
If we go to SharePoint home we'll see, for example,
that Sales Showcase, S-S, Policy Review, P-R, and so forth.
But, if you'll note, Residential Sales
actually has a logo that's a house.
Solar Installs has a logo that is the KinetEco logo.
If we click on Residential Sales, the site that was
created previously, you'll see that that logo
that appears in SharePoint home also appears here.
So rather then simply using the letters,
it's better to have an icon that represents your site.
And that would be your site logo.
So let's return to Sales and I'll show you quickly how you
change the site logo, it's the same for all modern sites.
Click the gear button, go to site information,
and the edit site information panel will open
and it says, well here's your current site
logo, do you want to change this?
Now, I'll tell you that if you remove this site logo,
if you change it to something else and decide you want to
change it back, this logo won't exist any longer.
So, one trick would be, if you want to take a picture of
this and capture it in case you want to change back, you
could use the Windows Snipping Tool, for example, to do that
or some other tool that lets you capture part of a screen.
So, in other words, once this is gone,
it's gone, but I do want to change it.
I'm going to click change and on my desktop
I have some logos, note that I have a number of files
that are small images, 156 by 156, 156 by 139,
smaller than 300 by 300, and these are all JPEGs.
These are perfect images to use for site logos.
And the one that I want to use for sales
is this green light bulb and we use that throughout sales
to say, here's a great idea for sales.
So anyplace we see this in KinetEco,
we know it's related to sales.
And I'll simply choose open and there's our new site logo.
Also, while we're here, we would have the opportunity
to edit any of the settings that we set when we created the
site, with the exception of the site's language,
which can't be changed once the site's created.
But this is how easy it is to change our logo.
I click save, the logo will appear here in the site
and then in some relatively short period of time,
that same logo will be propagated to all of the
interface elements, all of the cards and tiles,
that would represent our site.
Not right away, but soon, like Residential Sales,
our logo will appear for our site in SharePoint home.
