Create a Logo & favicon for a Google Site

Customizing Your EUSD Google Teacher Site

If you have already created your own EUSD Google Teacher site, here are a couple of ways to make it "uniquely yours." Two items that you can change to customize your teacher site are your site logo and your site favicon.

• The site logo is the image that shows in the header on every page of your teacher site.

• Your site favicon is the little image you see at the front of the web address in your web browser. (This newsletter has a blue globe as its favicon.)

The first thing you'll need to do is create a custom avatar of yourself for your teacher site. There are plenty of sites out there for you to make an avatar. My favorite is:

Portrait Illustration Maker : Free Illustration Generater!

After creating your avatar, download it to your computer.

To change the logo of your EUSD Google site, do the following:

1. Click on the More Actions button

2. Choose Manage Site

3. Select Site Layout

4. In the Header section, click on the change logo link

5. Select Custom Logo and browse for the logo file on your hard drive

6. Once you have the image selected, click the OK button

7. Make sure to click Save changes before returning to your site

To change the favicon of your EUSD Google site, do the following:

1. Go to: Dynamic Drive- FavIcon Generator and upload your avatar

2. After the site creates your favicon, download it to your computer.

3. Click on the More Actions button

4. Choose Manage Site

5. Select Attachments

6. Click Upload

7. Click Browse and select your favicon.ico file you just created

8. Your favicon file must be named favicon.ico

9. Choose the option to Upload attachment to / (top-level)

10. Click Upload

Now you have a site that's "one of a kind."
