When adding a logo to your job board, there are multiple points you need to take into consideration to achieve an optimal view.

What Size Should Your Logo Be?

Generally, the best practice for aligning the logo fully within your header is to keep them within the following parameters:

For horizontally oriented logos: 100-120 pixels in height and 375-500 pixels in width.

For squared logos: 160-320 pixels in height & 160-320 pixels in width

In the example below, the logo is horizontal and the sizes are 100px (Height) and 420px (Width)

Common Mistakes When Uploading a Logo

There are common mistakes that people make when uploading their logo. Here are some examples and how you can avoid them.

Empty Spaces in Logo

Sometimes, when using a third-party tool to create a logo, the downloaded file may include an image with a lot of empty space, and the actual logo positioned in the center.

When such an image is uploaded as a logo, the presence of these empty spaces will considerably reduce the visual of the logo within the header.

Here’s an example of a logo with a lot of empty space:



To fix this, you will need to crop out the empty spaces and re-upload an image that fully reflects the logo:



After uploading the new image, you can further customize the logo within the Header Styles section:

Background Color

In some cases, the background color of the logo may contradict with the color of your header:



To fix this, we recommend uploading a logo with a transparent background so that it will not interfere with the header’s color:



You can use a tool like remove.bg to easily make your logo’s background transparent
