Header Logo
New header image formatting
What we did: Removed the default padding around header logos to allow for full-bleed images on skins that begin at the very top-left corner of the header area. Now header logos will extend all the way to the lower portion of the toolbar without padding or borders around the image.
What you should know when designing a header logo now: Your site's top navigation area overlaps the header area by 6 pixels where it says “Home | Photo | Video,” etc. When designing your header logo, you can avoid overlapping by not including textual elements within 6 or more pixels of the bottom of the image. Any additional padding or borders are up to you!
How do I change the site name & logo?
Administrators and creators can change the style template of the site, upload a logo into the masthead area, or edit the site name by clicking on the 'Settings' in the upper right hand corner of the site.
To edit the site name or upload a logo, click on the “Name or Logo” link. You can type in a new site name or upload a logo image. You will see your changes on the site as you make them, but they will not be saved until you click on the “Save Changes” button.
What size should my logo be?
Ideally, the image you upload for your site logo should not expand the header area of your site. Large headers make it harder for users to browse your site. The size of image you should use varies based on the style template you have chosen for your site. Style templates that have a white background in the heading area can support a much wider image than templates with a background image. In general, if you want to make sure your image will fit well regardless of which template you have chosen, use a 150 pixels wide x 85 pixels high image.For sites with a white background, you can make your image much wider. Images can be up to 1200 pixels wide x 161 pixels high, but we recommend keeping your width around 780 pixels or lower so users with smaller resolutions don't get stuck with a horizontal scrollbar.

All the dimensions are ridiculously small in Photoshop 6.0. I tried both the 1200x161 and the 150x85. Are there any more decent sized dimensions that I can use?

Hello:
I'm having a bunch of problems with a custom header that I've uploaded to my private site. Although I've used the dimensions indicated in this thread, the header (which is supposed to take up the entire top of the page) is either too short or too long. For those creating full-site banners, what are the appropriate dimensions? It's certainly longer than 780 pixels and a lot less than 1200 pixels in width. Any help would be appreciated. |
