Learn how to upload and customize a logo that replaces your text names in the navigation menu for a branded look.

Want to show a logo instead of your text names in the navigation menu? You can upload a custom menu logo that appears in place of your couple names. Great for branding your wedding!

The custom menu logo replaces your text-based couple names in the navigation menu with an image. This appears in the menu bar at the top of your site.

Different from:
- Header logo: Appears in the main header of your homepage
- Favicon: Tiny icon in browser tabs
- Custom menu logo: Specifically for the navigation menu

To upload a custom menu logo, you first need to enable Display names in menu:

Your logo now appears in the navigation menu!

Height: 40px is recommended (mentioned in the upload button)

Format: PNG, GIF, JPG, or SVG

Transparent background: PNG or SVG with transparency works best

Aspect ratio: Horizontal logos work better than square or vertical

File size: Keep it under 200KB for fast loading

Design tools: Canva, Adobe Illustrator, Figma

Keep it simple: Small logos need clean, bold designs

Readable text: If your logo includes text, make sure it's legible at small sizes

High contrast: Logo should be visible against your menu background

Your names and date: "Emily & Jordan | 2026"

Monogram: Your initials in an elegant design

Wedding hashtag: Your hashtag in a stylish font

Minimal symbol: Simple rings, heart, or meaningful icon

Illustrated: Custom illustration representing you two

When you upload a custom menu logo:

Logo appears in the navigation menu

Text names are replaced by the logo image

Rest of site unchanged (logo only affects the menu)

If you want both logo and text, you'll need to include text in your logo image!

To go back to text names in the menu:

Your text-based couple names will reappear in the menu!

Custom menu logo: Small logo in the navigation bar (40px height)

Custom header logo: Larger logo in the main header area (540px width)

These are different uploads! You can have:
- Both (logo in menu AND header)
- Just one (either menu or header)
- Neither (just text names)

The logo appears where your names would normally show in the menu. Depending on your theme:

Left side: Logo on the left, menu links on the right

Center: Logo in the center, links split left and right

Right side: Menu links on the left, logo on the right

Your theme controls the exact placement!

To change your menu logo:

The new logo replaces the old one!

Menu logos usually appear on mobile too, but might be smaller or positioned differently. Test on a phone to see how it looks!

Some themes hide the menu logo on mobile in favor of a hamburger menu icon.

Light menu backgrounds: Use a dark or colorful logo

Dark menu backgrounds: Use a light or white logo

Transparent PNGs: Let the menu background show through

Make sure your logo is visible against your menu's background color!

PNG: Best for logos with transparency or solid colors

SVG: Scalable vector, stays crisp at any size (best choice if you have it)

JPG: Works but doesn't support transparency (might have a background box)

GIF: Works but outdated, use PNG instead

PNG or SVG are your best options!

After uploading:

Logo too big: Might overflow the menu bar. Resize to 40px height.

Logo not visible: Check contrast against your menu background color.

Logo pixelated: Use a higher resolution or vector (SVG) format.

White box around logo: Use PNG or SVG with transparent background.

If you're using a custom menu logo, consider using the same or similar logo:
- As your header logo
- On your invitations
- On your save-the-dates
- In your stationery

Consistent branding looks professional!

You have a wedding logo: Already designed for invitations.

You want strong branding: Logo reinforces your wedding identity.

Visual > text: You prefer images over plain text.

Custom monogram: You've designed a beautiful monogram.

Text works fine: Your names look great in the menu already.

Simplicity preferred: Text is cleaner and more straightforward.

No logo designed: Don't want to spend time creating one.

Theme looks better with text: Some themes are optimized for text menus.

A custom menu logo is optional but adds a polished, branded touch to your wedding website's navigation!
