Logo Editing

The following is a step by step guide to customising your Ionosphere logo image by replacing the logo text with your own organization or company's name and logo.

Gantry sets the dimensions of the logo, so CSS modification is unnecessary.


Step 1 - Open the File

Logo
  • Open the logo-source.png file in Adobe® Fireworks.
  • In the right column, find Layers. Select the Web layers directory and click the eye icon to the left of the logo slice (the green object). This will make the slice invisible so you can edit the file.

Step 2 - Text/Slogan/Icon Editing

  • Double click on the logo text. Now you can edit the text of logo to your choosing. Edit the icon as desired.

Step 4 - Export

  • Now you will want to export the logo. Right click on the image slice and select Exported Selected Slices... from the contextual menu. Export it to your computer.

Adobe Fireworks

The most effective way to customize the logo is to use the included Source PNG file. When opened in Adobe Fireworks, this file contains all of the Layers in the design allowing you to tweak and change any of the image elements of the template design.

In order to utilize the Fireworks Source PNG included with the Ionosphere template release, you will need Adobe Fireworks. The 30-day free trial of this software as well as more information is available here at the Adobe website.

Editing Requirements

  • Adobe® Fireworks: CS5 is preferred, but CS3/4 will be sufficient.
  • Logo Font: Download and install before proceeding to edit in Fireworks.
  • Source File: Download the logo-source.png file from the rt_ionosphere_j15-sources.zip package.
