Description
You can apply your customized Branding to signature templates in the Signature Designer using signature elements. Each signature you add Branding to will use the assets you specify on the Branding page.
How to access it
-
Open or create a signature in the Signature Designer.
- For Logo, Banner, or Icon assets: From the toolbox, expand the Images & Icons section and add the Image/Logo element to the canvas.
- For Fonts: Add or select any element with text. For Text, {Fields}, and Disclaimer elements, expand the Text section of the Properties pane. For the Microsoft Bookings or Calendly elements, expand the Calendar Sharing Button section.
- For Colors: Select any element and expand the Text, Background, Border, Label Icon, Social Media Icon, Calendar Sharing Button, and/or QR code section of the Properties pane.
NOTE: The availability of Properties is dependant on the element in use. For more information on the individual properties available per element, see each element's dedicated article in the Edit Signature Design section of the knowledge base.
Resolution
Using the Logo, Banner, and Icon
To apply a Logo, Banner, or Icon, use the Image/Logo element.
- In the Image/Logo window, under What type of image do you want to insert?, ensure Brand Image is selected.
Select the Brand Image radio button to display the Branding options. Uploaded images are shown alongside the assets.
- Select either Logo, Icon, or Banner.
NOTE: Your Branding images are displayed on each option. If you have not uploaded an image, you can still add the option to your template; the image will display a blank placeholder until an image is added in the Branding screen. If you upload or replace an image on the Branding screen, all templates containing the option are updated automatically. - Select OK. Your Branding image is added to the canvas.
- [Optional] Edit your image properties in the Properties pane. For more information, see Working with the Image/Logo element.
- To change the asset type, select the Branding image and expand the Image Source section in the Properties pane. Select Logo, Icon, or Banner under Brand Image to choose the asset used.
Select an asset type to switch the asset in use.
- To delete a Branding asset, select the image on the canvas, then select Delete from the Properties pane.
- Select Save Changes to save your signature template, or select Cancel Changes to revert any changes made.
Using Fonts
To apply Branding Fonts, use the Properties pane. Any element with text can use Branding Fonts.
- In the Properties pane, select the arrow on the Font Family entry field in the appropriate section to open the dropdown menu.
- Under Brand Fonts, the choices you set on the Branding screen are displayed. Select either Brand Font 1 or Brand Font 2.
Your Branding appears in the Brand Fonts section of the dropdown.
NOTE: If you change a Font on the Branding screen, all templates containing the option are updated automatically. - Select Save Changes to save your signature template, or select Cancel Changes to revert any changes made.
Tip! Select the outermost border of the signature canvas, then set the font to a Branding Font to set your entire signature to that font. Any elements added after this, or which have font properties set to 'Inherit', will automatically use the set font. For more information on setting values for whole sections, see Coloured borders in the Exclaimer Signature Designer.
