Our team at Connect 211 needs three things to customize your Resource Directory for you.

Logo

  1. Please provide your logo in SVG or other vectorized format (eg AI or EPS).

  2. If you don’t have a vector (or don’t know what that is) then a transparent PNG at least 200px tall will work too.

Colors

  1. Please provide the top two or three colors for your brand in hex format (e.g. #fafafa).

  2. If you don't know your colors then we’ll pull them from your logo 🙂

Hero Image

Your hero image should meet the following criteria:

  1. Have dimensions of at least 2800 pixels wide by 1000 pixels tall.

  2. That aspect ratio is very wide; anything outside that aspect ratio will be trimmed.

  3. Choose images or patterns that don't have a focus point in the center of the image. The search box will be in the center of the image and will cover whatever is there.

Here are a few examples of creative hero images:

BONUS: Category Icons

You can optionally provide custom Category icons for use on the front page. That’s what WA211 did here: https://search.wa211.org

If you don’t have custom icons, then we will provide some automatically from the OCHA Human Needs v0.2 open source icon set: https://reliefweb.int/report/world/humanitarian-and-country-icons-2018
