Logo Editing

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

Logo 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_maelstrom_j15-sources.zip package.


Step 1 - Open the File

  • Open the logo-source.png file in Adobe® Fireworks.

Logo

  • Focus on the right column, titled 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.

Step 6 - Uploading

  • Upload logo#.png to the /templates/rt_maelstrom_15/images/logo/*style*/ directory
  • Clear your browser cache and refresh your site.
If you cannot see your new logo, ensure you have uploaded it to the right directory and that the directory permissions are writeable. Enquire with your hosting provider.
