Change WordPress Logo

Changing the WordPress logo really just consists of overwriting the logo.gif in the theme you are using with file with your own logo.gif file – Here are the steps:

  1. Open up the image that you would like to use for your new WordPress logo
  2. Save your file as logo.gif (File->Save As)
  3. Open up your ftp client (or however it is you view the files on your WordPress site)
  4. Navigate to the themes directory (
  5. Navigate into the images directory of the theme you are using
  6. Delete the logo.gif  or logo.png file that is currently in there (the old logo you want to get rid of)
  7. Copy/upload your file (in place of the old one you just deleted) NOTE: you must have the same file extension as the file you are replacing, (png or gif)
