Brand Identity and Colours

Your tool, your brand. Customise your Public Journal Search Page with your logo and colors.

Step-by-Step

1. To change the logo and colors of your Public Journal Search Page first of all click on Branding either on the Main Dashboard or from the sidebar.
2. You will now arrive at the branding page where you can make a number of customisations to Logo, Colors, & Settings
   
   For the Logo you can do the following actions:
   1. Upload your logo in .png or svg format with no background and with a wide rectangular/squared shape. We recommend a 150px height for the best experience.
   2. Brand Logo Tag: Here you can write Alt-Text for the university logo. This should describe where the link is going.
   3. Brand Logo URL: Add your University Library's URL for when your researchers click on your logo they will be directed to your library webpage. 

Colors

1. Main Color: We recommend you use the RGB color codes from your brand. This is used for your text color and search page images & buttons (e.g. search button, magnifying glass)
2. Header Color: Here you can choose the Header color for your page
3. Background Color: The background color enables you to change the background colour to your public search page
4. Info Box Background Color: Changes the background color of the information box on the right hand side of the search.
5. Table Header Color:  Changes the background color of the results table header of the search.
6. Use a contrasting color scheme for better results (e.g. white logo against a dark background) and avoid dark-on-dark colors.
7. Make sure to press Save if you have made any changes. Please note it can take a couple of minutes for changes to be shown on your public search page.

Accessibility

The colors you choose for your Public Search page should enable the text to have a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for smaller text and 3:1 for larger text. You can check the contrast ratio by using an online tool such as the WebAim contrast checker tool.
