We recommend converting your logo using the converter below before using it in EFD as this will ensure your logo is the optimum size.
For the best results please use either a .PNG or .SVG file. Note that images with a transparent background will have a black background in EFD, but when exported to a PDF or Floorplan Live, they will look correct.
Logo Types:
Show Logo - For using at the top of your floorplan.
Sponsor Logo - For using around the edge of your floorplan.
Company Logo - For using on Stands, Feature etc.

The dialog shown below will now appear giving you a preview of the image. We recommend accepting the default settings and clicking OK, then moving to step 4.
Here is an explanation of each option in this dialog in case you want to change them.
Path Type Options:
Path Type Options:
Embedded (recommended) - The image is inserted and actually saved into the drawing, this means that if you send the .EFD file to another person, the logo will display just fine.
Absolute - The image is inserted and links to the image with an Absolute folder path of where the image is stored e.g C:/floorplans/client/floorplan name/logos. This option is useful if the image is going to be updated regularly and will remain in the same folder and never be moved. If the logo is updated then the logo on your drawing will update automatically.
Relative - The image is inserted and links to the image with an Relative folder path of where the image is stored e.g /floorplan name/logos. This option is useful if the image is going to be updated regularly but is in a sub folder of the main drawing folder and the main drawing folder might have to be moved.
