Logo
If you don't have a logo yet, you have a few options:
- Create a text-based logo as part of your site design. There are hundreds of fonts to choose from in Squarespace, so you can simply create your logo on the fly directly in the Squarespace system as part of the designing process later.
- Use Squarespace Logo (http://squarespace.com/logo) to create a simple logo design yourself. Squarespace subscribers can create a logo for free with Squarespace Logo. Alternatively, try the logo creation tool at https://www.canva.com or https://www.graphicsprings.com/ to make your own logo.
We'll cover Squarespace Logo in more detail in Chapter 8, Tailoring Your Site's Look and Feel.
- Pay a graphic designer to create a custom logo for you. If you don't know a designer, try an online marketplace such as http://www.guru.com/,http://99designs.com/, or https://www.freelancer.com/ to find one.
- Use a stock illustration as your logo. Most of the main stock websites such as http://www.istockphoto.com/ or www.shutterstock.com offer illustrations for a very reasonable cost. Try searching for the word "logo" or "icon" in the Illustrations category. You might wish to collect a few different options on an idea board before deciding on a final choice.
If you already have a logo or will be sourcing one, it's important to get a copy in the right format:
- File format: .png or .jpg format
- Color space: RGB or sRGB (not CMYK, which is used for print only)
- Resolution: 72 dpi/ppi (pixels per inch)
- Maximum dimensions: 1500 pixels wide
The dimensions and resolution are not as important as the other formatting options, as you can adjust the size in Squarespace's image editor later, if necessary.
It’s a good idea to get your logo as a .png with a transparent background. This will ensure you can use the logo overlaid on top of different colored backgrounds or images.
