How to Change Your Logo Color on Different Squarespace Pages
Have you ever struggled with logo visibility on your Squarespace website?
Maybe your dark logo disappears against a dark background image on one page, but looks perfect on your light-colored homepage. Or perhaps your mobile header has a different background color that makes your logo nearly impossible to see. This common design challenge doesn't require multiple logo files or complex coding, SquareKicker's logo filter tool gives you complete control over your logo's appearance across different pages and devices.
In this tutorial, you'll discover how to set different logo colors for desktop and mobile views, and how to customize your logo on specific pages without affecting your entire site.
Why Logo Color Flexibility Matters for Your Website
Your logo is one of the most important elements of your brand identity, and it needs to be clearly visible on every page of your website. However, modern web design often incorporates varied backgrounds, from vibrant images to dark color blocks that can make a single logo color impractical.
Without the ability to adjust your logo color per page, you face three frustrating options:
Compromise your design by using only backgrounds that work with your logo
Create multiple versions of your logo and manually swap them (which isn't even possible in standard Squarespace)
Accept reduced visibility on some pages, hurting your brand presence
SquareKicker eliminates this compromise by giving you precise control over logo appearance across your entire site.
Understanding SquareKicker's Logo Filter Tool
The logo filter tool in SquareKicker allows you to change your logo to black or white with a single click. This tool works at two levels:
Site-wide level: Changes apply to every page on your website, ensuring consistency across your entire site when you have a uniform background approach.
Page-specific level: Overrides the site-wide setting on individual pages, perfect for pages with unique backgrounds or design treatments.
This flexibility means you can maintain a cohesive brand while adapting to the specific design needs of each page.
How to Change Your Logo Color Across Your Entire Site
Let's start with the simplest use case: changing your logo color site-wide.
Open your Squarespace site in edit mode
Click on Site Tools in the SquareKicker panel
Navigate to Header settings
Find your Logo section
Click on Filter to reveal color options
Choose either White or Black depending on your needs
This change will immediately apply to your logo on every page of your website. You can preview the effect by navigating between different pages, your logo color will remain consistent throughout.
Setting Different Logo Colors for Mobile Devices
Mobile devices often require different design treatments due to smaller screen sizes and different user behaviors. SquareKicker makes it easy to set a unique logo color for mobile without affecting your desktop design.
Switch to Mobile view using SquareKicker's device toggle
If needed, adjust your mobile header background color first
Navigate to Site Tools > Header > Logo > Filter
Select the logo color that works best with your mobile header background
Switch back to Desktop view to confirm your desktop logo color remains unchanged
Now your logo will automatically display the appropriate color based on the device your visitors are using, ensuring optimal visibility across all screen sizes.
Changing Logo Color on Specific Pages Only
This is where SquareKicker's flexibility truly shines. When a particular page needs a different logo treatment, perhaps you have a full-width hero image with a dark overlay, or a colored section that extends behind your header, you can customize just that page.
Navigate to the page where you want a different logo color
Instead of Site Tools, click on Page Tools in the SquareKicker panel
Go to Header > Logo > Filter
Select your desired logo color for this specific page
The key difference here is using Page Tools instead of Site Tools. This tells SquareKicker that your changes should only affect the current page, leaving all other pages unchanged.
To verify this worked correctly, navigate back to your homepage or another page, you'll see that your logo color remains as originally set, while only your customized page displays the new color.
Practical Use Cases for Page-Specific Logo Colors
Understanding when to use this feature helps you create more professional, polished websites:
Dark hero sections: If your homepage features a dramatic dark hero image but your other pages have light backgrounds, set your homepage logo to white while keeping other pages black.
Colored page backgrounds: Service pages or portfolio sections might use brand colors as full-page backgrounds. Adjust your logo color to maintain visibility without redesigning your entire site.
Event or promotional pages: Temporary landing pages with unique designs can have custom logo treatments without affecting your main site pages.
Mobile-specific adjustments: Some pages might have different mobile backgrounds than desktop. Use the device toggle combined with page-specific settings for complete control.
Beyond Color: Other Logo Customization Options
While this tutorial focuses on color changes, SquareKicker offers additional logo customization capabilities:
Adjust logo size for different devices
Change logo positioning within your header
Control logo visibility on specific pages
These tools work together to give you complete control over your header presentation across your entire website.
