Image basics
For best results, Safety Made Simple recommends:
· use PNG or JPEG files. The PNG format is designed for logos, graphics and graphs. The JPEG format is intended to share photos online
· use high resolution images to avoid pixelization or blurriness on retina displays
· for logos, choose images with transparent backgrounds
· for image filenames, avoid white spaces and characters like parentheses, that can cause issues with uploads
When you upload images, Safety Made Simple opens the image resizing tool. You can crop and resize images to fit the dimensions required, and add alt-text to ensure you meet accessibility standards.
Logos: header logo, squared logo and mobile app logo
Safety Made Simple lets you set the look and feel of your portal with branding tools.
The following screenshot shows the 3 logo options. This portal example displays the logos against the header color, picked on the same page.
Header logo
For headers, Safety Made Simple recommends images at least 322 px wide and 72 px high.
The header logo appears in the navigation bar on every page of the portal, and is a navigation tool, to return to your dashboard.
Landscape style logos produce the best results. Use an image with a transparent background, no padding or spacing.
The application scales the image automatically, to provide the best quality image and logo across all devices.
Squared logo
The square logo appears in your portal:
· on smaller screen sizes
· as the favicon for the browser tab
· in your portal footer, if you have a white-labelled portal
For the square logo, upload an image at least 72 px square.
Mobile app logo
This logo appears in the iOS and Android apps.
