You can customize your school's branding in Viking using your site logo, email logo and three colour settings.
These settings control how your branding appears in the customer dashboard, booking form and customer emails.
Customize your colours
- Go to Settings → General → General.
- Find the Student Dashboard settings.
- Configure the three colour options:
Link colour
The main colour used for links and buttons, such as the Book now button.
Mouse-over colour
The colour used when someone moves their mouse over a link or button.
Choose a colour that is only slightly different from your link colour. This creates a subtle hover effect while keeping your buttons consistent.
Menu bar background colour
The background colour of the menu bar in the customer dashboard.
This is also the background behind your site logo, so choose a colour that works well with your logo.
Save your changes when finished.
Upload your site logo
- Under the general settings, find Site logo.
- Upload your school's logo as a PNG image.
- Save your changes.
Your logo is displayed in the customer dashboard.
Tip: Check that your logo is clearly visible against the menu bar background colour you selected. For example, a dark logo may not work well with a dark menu bar.
Add your email logo
You can also upload a separate logo for your customer emails.
Viking automatically places this logo at the top of your email templates, just above the greeting. You don't need to add it to each template manually.
When preparing your email logo, keep these requirements in mind:
- Maximum height: The image file should be no taller than 90 pixels.
- Background: The logo is usually displayed on a white background. Make sure it is clearly visible against white.
After uploading your email logo, check a customer email to make sure it displays correctly.
Check your branding
After saving your changes, open your customer dashboard and booking form.
Check that:
- Your link and mouse-over colours work well together.
- Buttons are clearly visible and change colour slightly when hovered over.
- Your site logo is clearly visible against the menu bar background.
- Your email logo appears above the greeting in customer emails.
