How to set Application Logo in Pega 8.1
Earlier the application Logo was set by updating the binary file but in Pega 8.1 the system uses property reference (Application.pyLogoReference) which contains the name of the binary file.
How do I update the value of this property to set custom application logo?

Hi Piyush,
Approach 1:
You can extend 'py-Logo' binary file in your ruleset and change the logo.
Disadvantage:It will reflect all the places where ever this binary file is referred.
Approach 2:
Update the section named 'pyCWPortalHeader' [which is available for extention] in your ruleset.Please find the attachment for the same.

Thank you but I am already familiar with the above mentioned approaches. I want to know whether there is a way to set the value of property "Application.pyLogoReference" so that there is no need to either customise the ootb header section or the binary file.

Agree with Piyush. What is the best practice method for setting pyLogoReference? The OOTB data transform of pyDefault in Rule-Application class is marked as Final. What's the preferred mechanism for setting this property for an application?

I learned that you now update the logo directly in App Studio which then sets the property reference for you. Simply goto App Studio -> Settings -> Theme. This will bring you to a new page where you can upload your application logo.

Updating logo via App Studio -> Settings -> Theme doesn't give option to choose logo size and hence squeezed or streached the desired image. Pega should have to provide some other configurable way to achieve this.

I have a similar requirement to set the logo based on pyLogoReference Property.
I tried changing the Pega OOTB pyapp-logo binary file but still it is showing Pega OOTB logo.
Am i missing something.

To avoid the stretching I've found the logo must be a Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG) instead of a compressed image file (e.g., PNG, JPEG, GIF).
