Where Are Logos Used in QuickBooks Desktop?

They have been Utilized In Customizing Your Form Templates

Adding your business logo is simply one step to personalize your invoices, sales orders, purchase orders, etc. in QuickBooks Desktop. Other steps include changing fonts, color scheme, displaying company or transaction information; columns displayed on a questionnaire – on screen in QuickBooks; on the net to share with customers or vendors; or both of those display methods.

Through the image selection process, as it was shown, the default folder would be named “Your Company Name” – Images. This means that the logo chosen could be any among the image files stored therein. With all this, clarity in file naming helps you to clearly identify your logo file. You may also point to a different folder in the process, with QuickBooks copying and pasting the image chosen in to the default image folder.

As depicted, you will be prompted about copying the selected image to the default folder QuickBooks Desktop uses.

QuickBooks Desktop Adapts the Image Size to fit well within the Logo Space in your Template

The image selected has a pixel dimension of 1200 x 800. Clearly QuickBooks Desktop has shrunk the image size accordingly. You can easily, then, adjust the image from the form you may be customizing by planning to Layout Designer.

Layout Designer in QuickBooks Desktop is Where You Adjust Logos/Images, Columns, Fields for the Forms

When you add or remove columns, field boxes, and images, be prepared to use Layout Designer to ensure everything remaining therein properly fits.

Once your logo is set to your liking, click on “OK” in the bottom of Layout Designer’s window. This doesn’t solidify the logo to the form you’re customizing. You would follow on on the “OK,” in the window you started with – whenever you clicked “Customize Data Layout” within the “Formatting” tab of an application you seek to customize. Once this is accomplished, it will be solidified as a personalized form template it is possible to select during the transaction creation process.
