      Display Your Logos on Your Real Geeks Website

      Table of Contents

      Overview

      Logos play an important role in branding and establishing trust with visitors to your Real Geeks website. Your official company or personal brand logo should be placed prominently in the header, while additional logos (such as brokerage logos, certification badges, or partner logos) can be added to other areas of your site.

      Your website allows you to strategically place logos in several key locations to reinforce your brand identity:

      • Header Logo – This is your main branding element, appearing at the top of every page.
      • Sidebar – A flexible space for additional branding, such as brokerage affiliations, certifications, or sponsorship logos.
      • Footer – Ideal for compliance logos, legal disclaimers, and secondary branding.
      • Page Content – Custom pages, blog posts, or “About” sections where you can showcase awards, partnerships, or promotional images.

      Each placement serves a unique purpose, allowing you to balance branding with functionality while keeping your website visually clean and professional.

       

      Header Logo Size and Recommendations

      The recommended size for the header logo is 400x86 pixels. This means the image is rectangular in shape, making it ideal for text-based logos or small branding elements.

      Tips for Optimizing Your Logo

      ✅ Text-Based Logos – Your business name or initials in a clean, horizontal format.

      ✅ Simple Icon Logos – A small, minimalistic symbol that represents your brand.

      More complex or details logos will not display well in the header. Instead, consider placing it in the sidebar, footer, or within page content where there is more space.

      How to Add a Logo to the Website Header

      Best Practices for Logos

      To ensure a clean and professional look, follow these best practices when using logos on your Real Geeks website:

      ✅ Use High-Quality Images – Avoid blurry or pixelated logos. Stick to PNG or SVG formats for best results.

      ✅ Maintain Consistency – Use similar sizing and spacing for all logos to create a polished look.

      ✅ Ensure Proper Contrast – Logos must be clearly visible against their backgrounds for readability. Use contrasting colors—dark logos on light backgrounds and vice versa—to enhance visibility. 

      ✅ Respect Brand Guidelines – If using third-party logos (e.g., MLS, brokerage), follow their branding rules.

      By following these guidelines, you can enhance your website’s professionalism and reinforce your brand identity.
