Add images

For Reader Revenue Manager and Google News Showcase, you can add your own logos in the Publisher Center to:

  • Brand and represent your publication
  • Customize the user experience

Important: For Google News outside of Google News Showcase panels, or the "News" tab of Google Search, logos in Publisher Center aren't used.

For publisher logos, Google News and Google Search use favicons.

    • Descenders and no ascenders: Add padding above the image to match.
