Manage Branding and Logo Options

Stanford Sites comes with a number of lock-up options for your site’s signature logo lock-up. A site’s signature is a combination of the Stanford wordmark with an individual school, official department, administrative unit, institute, center or lab name. This signature lock-up will appear in the top left corner of the website's main header and footer. The lockup for the main header and footer are configured separately to allow for increased customization.

Note: The Stanford header and footer are not included in the minimally branded sub-theme lock-up. Learn more.

The default lockup contains the Stanford wordmark and your site name, all on one line.

If desired, site owners can also replace the default Stanford lock-up logo with a custom logo.
