Gantry sets the dimensions of the logo, so CSS modification is unnecessary.

Logo Editing Requirements

Adobe® Fireworks: CS5 is preferred, but CS3/4 will be sufficient.
Logo Font: Download and install before proceeding to edit in Fireworks.
Source File: Download the logo-source.png file from the rt_omnicron_j15-sources.zip package.

Step 1 - Open the File

Open the logo-source.png file in Adobe® Fireworks.

Focus on the right column, titled Layers. Select the Web layers directory and click the eye icon to the left of the logo slice (the green object). This will make the slice invisible so you can edit the file.

Step 2 - Text/Slogan/Icon Editing

Double click on the logo text. Now you can edit the text of logo to your choosing.

Now, select the icon and disable/edit it as you wish.

Step 3 - Slice Modification

Reactivate the Slice in the Web Layers column, this will place a green rectangle over the logo image. Change the size of the slice (or move it) to match the new size if applicable.

Step 4 - Export

Now you will want to export the logo. Right click on the image slice and select Exported Selected Slices... from the contextual menu. Proceed to export it to your computer for uploading.

Step 5 - Multiple Frames/States

If there are multiple logos for a template, they are located in Frames or States within Fireworks.

Step 6 - Uploading

Upload logo.png to the /templates/rt_omnicron_15/images/logo/*style*/ directory
Clear your browser cache and refresh your site.

If you cannot see your new logo, ensure you have uploaded it to the right directory and that the directory permissions are writeable. Enquire with your hosting provider.
