One of the most common requests we’ve received from WordPress.com users is the ability to add a logo to your site. While some premium themes have their own type of logo uploader, as soon as you switched your theme, the logo would disappear. But not any more! Today, we’re excited to announce the new Site Logo feature.
With this new feature, you just need to upload your logo once. Your logo will appear on any of our supported themes, regardless of how often you switch themes. Each theme has been custom-tailored to ensure your logo will look its best and display appropriately, whether on a mobile device or a large screen.
In addition to offering support for over a dozen themes — from our best business-styled themes like Motif and Forefront to all-time favorites like Oxygen — we’ll continue to add support for even more themes over time (as well as new ones upon release).
To get started, check out the Site Logo support page for details on adding, changing, and removing a logo to your WordPress.com site. Enjoy!

I tried this and did not see the “add logo” for my theme 😦
Hi! You’re using Twenty Fourteen, which hasn’t had support added yet – post to the forums to request it! https://wordpress.com/forums/forum/themes
This is awesome. Thanks!
You can read my mind. This is what I was waiting for.

Off to create a logo!
Why wouldn’t a business want to make its favicon and blavatar be its logo?
Favicons and blavatars are always square, so having the two features separate at this point makes sense. Of course, setting the same image as your logo will certainly work.
I’ve just realized there’s no Site Logo Option for the Traveler theme. Will you add one in the near future?
Traveler is a premium theme; our premium theme partners are also rolling out support for some of their themes as we speak. I’d suggest posting to the Traveler forum to let them know you’re interested: http://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/forum/traveler
cool 🙂
Thanks for developing such a great feature! This is really awesome!
Thank you. I’ve immediately set mine up.
For anyone trying to make a circular site title only to find that the surround is square, remember that a jpeg always has a solid background.
A png image, however, can be saved with a transparent background, so you can get a circular image.
Look at the video and you will see that the ‘espresso’ image is a png.
thanks sir, research on logos 😀
I can’t seem to do it: no option pops up…
Looks like you’re using Twenty Ten, which doesn’t have support yet; post to the forum and let us know you’d like it! https://wordpress.com/forums/forum/themes
Great feature, thanks! Now I just wish one could search for themes that have this feature (the way one can check Custom Header, Custom Menu, Custom Background, etc. on the Change Theme page: http://en.wordpress.com/themes/).
The Theme Showcase has filter for searching by feature; try here: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/site-logo/
Oh, never mind. I see you linked to a page that lists the supported themes: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/site-logo/
Ah, there you go 🙂
I’ve been waiting for some time to include a logo in my header text. Can’t wait until this can happen with twenty-ten theme.
Let us know on the forum, and we’ll try to prioritize the ones with most demand: https://wordpress.com/forums/forum/themes
I tried so many times last night to change this last night.
It looks like you’re using Twenty Ten, which is a theme that doesn’t have support yet; you can post to the forums to request it: https://wordpress.com/forums/forum/themes
Excellent initiative, bravo 🙂
Would like support for Misty Lake one day.
Very good post! I hope my theme will get this feature soon. I use Ryu 🙂
Great idea! Thank you for continually trying to improve the features available to us.
Finally. Been waiting :).
Fantastic feature! I’m hoping you’ll eventually get to supporting a lot more themes including the Delicious Magazine Theme https://wordpress.com/themes/delicious-magazine/
Bravo!
Disappointed. No site logo option available on my site. Will there be one soon?
Our Theme Wranglers will be adding the Site Logo feature to more themes in the future — both existing themes and new ones.
This was super helpful! Thanks!
This is really good job done. You rock guys…!!
Oh boy! Wish I could give you a bear hug! WordPress I love you. 🙂
This is pretty cool! Thank you! 😀
It is the easiest way to add a logo to your WordPress website. WordPress provides great support and that’s why people love to use WordPress. Thanks a lot for sharing awesome information.
It doesnt have it for me to do on my theme? Disappointed — is there any chance I can get it?
You’re using Elegant Grunge, which is not currently supported. As mentioned in the post, more themes will be added over time: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/site-logo/
Feel free to post a request for support for your theme in the forum: https://wordpress.com/forums/forum/themes
When did the customizer move to the right? That, and the other small design changes it has, look awesome!
That’s our own optimized version of the Customizer for WordPress.com 🙂
Does it work for Ever After theme?
Hi there — currently, these are the themes that support the Site Logo feature: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/site-logo/
As Kirk mentions, we’ll add more as we go and as new themes launch.
Great idea. I’m going to look into this for my Tales of Terror blog.
Fantastic add on 🙂 but I can’t see this on my dashboard, I use ryu theme @ byswav.com, so as I understand, I will have to wait right ?
Doesn’t look like Ryu has support yet. Feel free to post to the forum and let us know you’d like it: https://wordpress.com/forums/forum/themes
Please request Ryu support on the theme forums, so we know which themes to prioritize: https://wordpress.com/forums/forum/themes
Is Adventure Journal not supported either?
No, currently not.
Post to the forums to request support for this theme, if you’d like: https://wordpress.com/forums/forum/themes
Not yet – please mention it in the theme forums, and we’ll be able to better prioritize which themes to support: https://wordpress.com/forums/forum/themes
I also could not find the “add logo” for my theme. Is it for specific themes?
Hi there — yes, as Kirk mentioned in his post, this feature is currently available on just over a dozen themes: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/site-logo/ More will be added as we go, and as new themes are launched.
This is what I was waiting for… Can I add this in Humaen theme??
You can post a request for support for your theme in the forum: https://wordpress.com/forums/forum/themes
You may delete what you want, still there is no button in PILCROW.
Pilcrow doesn’t have support yet. In the post, Kirk mentions the currently supported themes: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/site-logo/
If you’d like to request support for Pilcrow, feel free to post to the forum and let us know you’d like it: https://wordpress.com/forums/forum/themes
Does anyone have any suggestions for programs to use to create a logo? 🙂
Any image editing tool, such as Gimp or Photoshop, will let you create an image that will work as a logo.
Awesome! Please add support for Quintus theme!!!
You can request it in the forums: https://wordpress.com/forums/forum/themes
Any chance there’ll be an option for .com users to upload a favicon.ico instead of the default WP logo?
Rather than a site logo, check out our Blavatar feature: https://wordpress.com/support/avatars/blavatars/
Hmmm…I haven’t really considered doing a logo but this does sound like a really good idea. I might have to try it!
Love this! It makes the blog even more personal! 😀
Love this! It makes the blog more unique
