📝 7 Steps to Professional Logo Integration in Filament

Customizing your Filament application's logo is crucial for creating a cohesive and professional user experience. By default, Filament uses the application's name as a simple text-based logo, but this can be modified to better represent your brand identity. There are three methods to customize your logo: changing the text-based logo, using an image logo, and using inline SVG for maximum control. Changing the text-based logo involves modifying the text that appears in your logo using the brandName() method in your panel configuration. This approach is perfect for those who prefer a text-based logo but want to use different wording than their application's name. Using an image logo allows you to incorporate your full brand identity, including custom typography, colors, and graphic elements. This approach involves implementing the brandLogo() method and passing the URL to your logo file. When choosing an image format for your logo, consider using SVG, PNG, or WebP. Using inline SVG for maximum control offers several advantages, including the ability to style the logo with CSS, no additional HTTP requests, and perfect integration with dark mode. This approach involves using the brandLogo() method and providing a function that returns a view. Filament also supports dark mode, and you can provide a different logo specifically for when dark mode is active. To implement a dark mode-specific logo, use the darkModeBrandLogo() method. When designing your dark mode logo, consider maintaining the same visual identity but with adjusted colors. You can also fine-tune your logo dimensions using the brandLogoHeight() method. When setting the logo height, consider the navigation bar's dimensions, how your logo appears on different device sizes, and maintaining appropriate whitespace around the logo. To get the most out of your custom Filament logo, follow best practices such as maintaining appropriate contrast, optimizing file sizes, testing across devices, considering accessibility, and maintaining consistent branding.
