Set your library's logo, name, and color

How branding from settings flows into the front-end.

Your logo, library name, and brand colour appear everywhere patrons see your library — the hero banner, every email, the back office, and even the placeholder colour for books without cover images.

Setting your library name

Settings → Appearance → Library Name. This appears in:

  • The hero banner on your catalogue homepage
  • The browser tab title
  • Every email sent to patrons
  • The footer ("YOUR LIBRARY · Powered by Shelfwise")

Changes take effect immediately.

Uploading your logo

Settings → Appearance → Logo → Choose File

Requirements:

  • PNG or SVG (transparent background preferred)
  • Square or near-square aspect ratio (we display at 64×64 in the hero)
  • 512×512 or larger recommended for sharp display on retina screens
  • Maximum 5MB

After upload, the logo appears in:

  • The hero banner (top-left corner)
  • The back office sidebar
  • The favicon (browser tab icon)
  • Patron emails (header)

Choosing your brand colour

Settings → Appearance → Brand Colour. Pick one of 8 presets or paste a custom hex code.

The colour appears in:

  • The back office sidebar background
  • The hero banner overlay (unless you set a custom hero colour)
  • Generic placeholder gradients (book covers without images)
  • The Book of the Month panel
  • Email accents

Removing branding

  • Remove the logo: Settings → Appearance → Logo → Remove
  • Reset the brand colour: Settings → Appearance → Brand Colour → Reset to default
