Customizing the UT Theme Header Logo

Open the “Header Logo” section in the site customizer and manage your logo configurations with the following fields.

Header Logo

The header logo appears in the top left-hand corner underneath the UT Branding Bar. This theme defaults to the UT Logo. You can change the logo by including the URL of an image. It can be from your Media Library or one hosted elsewhere on the web. The maximum pixel size for this image is 700W x 60H.

To use an image from your Media Library:

  • Select Media -> Library, from the left side menu of your site dashboard.
  • Select an image and copy the ‘File URL’ from the ‘Save’ box on the right side of the page.
  • Paste that URL into the “Header Logo URL” field in the Customizer.

If left blank, the image will default to the UT Logo included with this theme.

Header Logo Alt Text

Set the desired Logo alt text. For accessibility compliance, all images should contain alt text.  If this field is left blank, the alt text will default to “The University of Texas at Austin”.

Header Logo Link

If you change the logo, you also need to change the URL that the logo links too. Use the full URL when updating this field (ex: https://its.utexas.edu).
