---

Replace the default Makerkit logo by editing the `AppLogo` component at `apps/web/components/app-logo.tsx`. This single component controls the logo across your entire application: authentication pages, site header, footer, sidebar, and email templates.

## Quick Start

Open `apps/web/components/app-logo.tsx` and replace the existing SVG with your logo:

```tsx title="apps/web/components/app-logo.tsx"
import Link from 'next/link';
import { cn } from '@kit/ui/utils';

function LogoImage({ className }: { className?: string }) {
  return (
    <img
      src="/images/logo.svg"
      alt="Your Company Name"
      className={cn('w-[80px] lg:w-[95px]', className)}
    />
  );
}

export function AppLogo({
  href,
  label,
  className,
}: {
  href?: string | null;
  className?: string;
  label?: string;
}) {
  if (href === null) {
    return <LogoImage className={className} />;
  }

  return (
    <Link aria-label={label ?? 'Home Page'} href={href ?? '/'}>
      <LogoImage className={className} />
    </Link>
  );
}
```

Place your logo file in `apps/web/public/images/` and update the `src` path accordingly.

## Logo Implementation Options

### Option 1: SVG Component (Recommended)

Inline SVGs provide the best performance and allow dynamic styling with Tailwind classes:

```tsx title="apps/web/components/app-logo.tsx"
function LogoImage({ className }: { className?: string }) {
  return (
    <svg
      className={cn('w-[95px] h-auto', className)}
      viewBox="0 0 100 32"
      xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
    >
      <path
        className="fill-primary dark:fill-white"
        d="M10 5h80v22H10z"
      />
      {/* Your SVG paths */}
    </svg>
  );
}
```

**Benefits:**
- Supports `fill-primary` for automatic theme color adaptation
- Responds to dark mode with `dark:fill-white`
- Scales without quality loss
- No additional HTTP requests

### Option 2: Next.js Image Component

For PNG, JPG, or WebP logos, use `next/image` for automatic optimization:

```tsx title="apps/web/components/app-logo.tsx"
import Image from 'next/image';

function LogoImage({ className }: { className?: string }) {
  return (
    <Image
      src="/images/logo.png"
      alt="Your Company Name"
      width={95}
      height={32}
      className={cn('w-[80px] lg:w-[95px] h-auto', className)}
      priority
    />
  );
}
```

### Option 3: Dark Mode Variants

When your logo needs different versions for light and dark modes:

```tsx title="apps/web/components/app-logo.tsx"
import Image from 'next/image';
import { cn } from '@kit/ui/utils';

function LogoImage({ className }: { className?: string }) {
  return (
    <>
      <Image
        src="/images/logo-dark.svg"
        alt="Your Company Name"
        width={95}
        height={32}
        className={cn('hidden dark:block w-[80px] lg:w-[95px]', className)}
        priority
      />
      <Image
        src="/images/logo-light.svg"
        alt="Your Company Name"
        width={95}
        height={32}
        className={cn('block dark:hidden w-[80px] lg:w-[95px]', className)}
        priority
      />
    </>
  );
}
```

## Where the Logo Appears

The `AppLogo` component renders in these locations:

| Location | File Path | Notes |
|----------|-----------|-------|
| Site Header | `packages/ui/src/makerkit/marketing/header.tsx` | Marketing pages |
| Site Footer | `packages/ui/src/makerkit/marketing/footer.tsx` | All pages |
| Auth Pages | `apps/web/app/[locale]/auth/layout.tsx` | Sign in, sign up |
| App Sidebar | `packages/ui/src/makerkit/sidebar-navigation.tsx` | Dashboard (when team accounts disabled) |
| Email Templates | `packages/email-templates/src/` | Transactional emails |

## Favicon and Social Images

Update these additional brand assets in `apps/web/app/`:

```
apps/web/app/
├── favicon.ico          # Browser tab icon (32x32)
├── icon.png             # PWA icon (512x512)
├── apple-icon.png       # iOS home screen (180x180)
└── opengraph-image.png  # Social sharing (1200x630)
```

Generate these from your logo using tools like [RealFaviconGenerator](https://realfavicongenerator.net/) or [Favicon.io](https://favicon.io/).

## Common Mistakes

**Using low-resolution images**: Logos appear blurry on high-DPI displays. Always use SVG when possible, or provide 2x/3x image assets.

**Forgetting alt text**: Screen readers need descriptive alt text. Use your company name, not "logo".

**Hard-coded dimensions**: Use responsive classes like `w-[80px] lg:w-[95px]` instead of fixed pixel widths to ensure the logo scales appropriately on mobile.

**Missing priority attribute**: Add `priority` to Next.js Image components for above-the-fold logos to prevent layout shift.

## Verification

After updating your logo:

1. Check the marketing header at `http://localhost:3000`
2. Verify the auth pages at `http://localhost:3000/auth/sign-in`
3. Test dark mode toggle to confirm logo visibility
4. Inspect mobile viewport (375px width) for proper sizing

   title="Frequently Asked Questions"
   items=[
     {"question": "How do I make my SVG logo change color with the theme?", "answer": "Use Tailwind's fill classes on your SVG paths: fill-primary for the default theme color, or dark:fill-white to change in dark mode. Remove any hardcoded fill attributes from the SVG."},
     {"question": "What size should my logo be?", "answer": "Design for 95px width on desktop and 80px on mobile. SVGs scale automatically. For raster images, export at 2x resolution (190x64 pixels minimum) to support high-DPI displays."},
     {"question": "Can I use different logos in different parts of the app?", "answer": "Yes. You can modify the AppLogo component to accept a variant prop or create separate components. However, maintaining brand consistency is recommended."},
     {"question": "How do I update the logo in email templates?", "answer": "Email templates use the same AppLogo component where possible, but some email clients require inline images. Check packages/email-templates/src/components/ for email-specific logo handling."}
