Branding settings allow you to change the brand images and the main color of your marketplace. Go to Design > Branding to start making changes.
Set the main brand color and primary button color
Click on the color field. When the dropdown appears, choose “Select color.” This will allow you to select a color. You can use a color picker, click a color on the color gradient, or input an RGB coordinate or a hex value.
In this case, we're going to use RGB coordinates. Choose 124,58,237 for R, G, and B. This should give you the blue-violet brand color of Biketribe.
Let's keep the Primary button color to its default (light green) value.
Upload the logo
Click on the “Upload an image...” field for the logo. Once there, you should be able to upload an image from your computer.
Creating a logo can be challenging if you do not have one yet. Here is what you can do if you're not sure how to get a logo:
Build your own with services like Canva's Logo Maker, logogenie, or logo.com. See how to do this in 15 minutes for free.
Use a paid service, like AI logo generator Brandmark
For the tutorial, you can use the "Biketribe" logo we will be using if you're not ready with your logo yet.
Upload the favicon
A favicon is a small square image displayed in the browser tab when someone is browsing your marketplace. Click on the “Upload an image...” field for the Favicon. Once you click this, you should be able to upload an image from your computer.
Again, if you do not have a favicon, you can use the "Biketribe" favicon.
Upload a background image for login pages
You can add a big background image to your login page, signup page, and a few other authentication-related pages to connect these pages to your brand. Click on the “Upload an image...” field for the Background image for login pages.
If you do not have a suitable image, you may use the "Biketribe" image we are using in the tutorial.
Upload a Social media image
The social media image will be displayed on services like Facebook, X (Twitter), and LinkedIn when someone shares a link to your marketplace.
Click on the “Upload an image...” field for Social media.
If you do not have a suitable image, you may use the "Biketribe" image we are using in the tutorial.
View your changes
You need to save the changes you made on this page before activating them by clicking the "Save changes" button.
Once you've done that, you can click "View your marketplace" in the Console top bar. You'll see that your marketplace's color and logo have changed. In addition, your signup and login page have a new background image. If you share your marketplace on social media, the sharing tile will feature your newly uploaded image.
