Changing your logo in the Cherry Framework

In this article, we will teach you how to change your WordPress site logo when using the Cherry Framework.

General guidelines for your logo

There are a few things that you want to keep in mind when changing your logo on your WordPress site.

• First, keep in mind that this is something that will be displayed on every page so be sure that it is somethign that appropriately represents your site.
• Make sure that you have an appropriate image size. A logo that is too large can cause individuals to pull their eyes to your logo too often and take away the effect of the content itself. You want to keep your logo noticable, but not blinding your users from the content that you are trying to present.
• You will want to use transparent backgrounds in your logo. Transparent backgrounds can be accomplished using software such as Adobe Photoshop to allow any background content to seep through. This keeps your image from looking like a carelessly placed block and will allow you to easily blend in with whatever background you already have in place.
• Lastly, be sure to keep the image size as small as possible. There are several image compression tools out there to compress your image as much as possible. Software like Adobe Photoshop have fuctions such as “Save for Web” which will compress the image as well as only use particular colors. Keeping your image size small will reduce the amount of information that a visitor’s browser has to download keeping your website loading quickly.
