Richer branding in Hub: logo libraries, colour palettes, cropping, and theme-aware site logos
Store multiple named logos and colour palettes in Branding, crop logos to remove whitespace, use your library logos directly in site headers and footers, and let Hub automatically show the right logo for each visitor's light or dark theme.
What's new in Hub
This update is a significant upgrade to how you manage and present your brand across Hub and your sites. You can now keep a library of named logos and colour palettes, crop artwork precisely inside Hub, use any library logo directly in your site headers and footers, and let Hub pick the right logo variant automatically when a visitor switches to light or dark mode.
A library of named logo variants
Workspace Branding now supports a full library of named logo files instead of a single default. You can upload and name as many variants as you need — suggested names include Primary, Light, Dark, Monogram, and Favicon — and designate one as the workspace default.
Each logo gets its own preview, and your saved selections in Sites are preserved even if you later rename or remove a library entry. That means you can reorganise your brand assets at any time without breaking existing designs.
Existing logos appear in the library automatically — no re-uploading needed.
Crop logos without leaving Hub
Many logos come with built-in whitespace that throws off alignment once they're placed in a header or footer. Hub now has a built-in crop editor in Branding.
You can:
- Drag a crop rectangle over your logo to select exactly what you want to keep
- Enter edge percentages for precise control
- Trim uniform empty space automatically with a single click
- Preview the result before committing
- Reset to the original at any time — the source file is always preserved
Crops are saved as a separate file so your original stays intact. If an upload fails mid-session, your crop settings are kept so you can try again without starting over.
SVG logos are handled correctly. SVG artwork is kept as a vector through the entire crop process, so the saved file remains sharp at any size. Raster formats (PNG, JPG) continue to work exactly as before.
Note: Previously cropped logos that were saved before this update were processed as raster images. To get a vector SVG crop, open the crop editor, apply a crop, and save the library again.
Use your logo library in Sites headers and footers
Site header and footer editors now include a logo picker that shows every named logo from your Branding library. Selecting a library logo copies it into the design at the point of saving, so your published site remains stable even if you update the library later.
Custom URL and manual file upload options remain available alongside the library picker. A note in minimal footer layouts explains when a fuller footer is needed to display a logo at all.
Sites automatically switch logos with light and dark themes
If you have separate light-mode and dark-mode logo variants in your library, you can now assign them independently in your site's header and footer settings. Hub will then select the correct logo based on each visitor's active theme — including system-level dark mode.
If no theme-specific variant is selected, Hub falls back to your default logo, so existing designs keep working without any changes.
Named colour palettes
Branding Colours now supports multiple named colour roles in a single palette. You can define a Primary, Secondary, Accent, Background, Text, and any other colour your brand calls for — all in one place.
Drafts are preserved across browser tabs, and any conflicting concurrent edits are rejected to prevent one save from silently overwriting another.
Logo appearance controls in Sites
When placing a logo in a site header or footer, you now have direct control over how it looks:
- Frame style — unboxed, rounded-box, or circular
- Proportions — square or natural (original aspect ratio)
- Height — choose a display height between 24 px and 64 px
These appearance settings are shared consistently between the editor preview and what visitors see on the live site.
Deployment note: These features are being rolled out through Hub's standard deployment pipeline. Existing site designs retain their current logo until you choose to update them. New logo library variants and crop edits require an explicit save in Branding before they are available to Sites.
More improvements are in progress. We'll keep you updated as they roll out.
