General information on logos



Always save logos as PNG files. This file type ensures a small file size to ensure a fast load time while remaining detailed and sharp! PNGs also allow for transparency/transparent backgrounds should you need this.
We recommend a height between 40 and 70 pixels. The width will adjust according to the length of the church name.
Recommended size ratio: 3:1, 4:1, 5:1 or 5:2.
