Creating the image resource
Start out by using your logo to place on a colored background. In this case, the logo is the shape in the middle, and the background is the color that will be used on the site.
⚠ Make sure to leave space in the image above and below your logo, and to make the proportions of the image similar to what they are in this example.
💡 Save it in x2 size for it to look nice on retina displays as well, max 2MB
