WORKSHEET

Instructions

Below are some details you'll need to complete the Axcient Partner Branding Worksheet for Backup for Files or Third-Party BDR. 

As noted above, this branding worksheet is designed to support Axcient's Backup For Files product, as well as Axcient's Third Party BDR services. If you need help with these products or services, please submit a Support ticket.

Basic logo images for Backup for Files (or Axcient Third-Party BDR) 

You have the option of sending between two and five different Backup for Files logos based on the level of customization you are looking for.  For a custom look, send a minimum of two logo files in .png (preferred) or high resolution .jpg or .gif format.

1. Large version: The first and larger logo should be 80 to 580 pixels wide and 80 to 120 pixels tall.  This larger logo will be displayed horizontally across the top of the backup manager (client) software, the web portal and any system generated emails.  If you have a patterned background as part of your logo, please read section 2.b.iv under “Optional logo images” below.
2. Email archiving logo image: The second, smaller logo will be displayed in the email archiving software.  This logo must be exactly 40 pixels high and no more than 580 pixels wide.  If the console window is wider than the logo image, the system will use a white background to fill in the extra space.  Keep in mind that it may be necessary for you to modify your logo to make it look clear with this 40 pixel height restriction. Consider making your logo wider and moving any text off to the side of the image. Fonts may not look crisp when scaled down from a much larger image.

Optional logo images for Backup for Files (or Axcient Third-Party BDR) 

You can optionally provide separate Backup for Files logo images for the backup manager, web portal and system generated emails.  Please send any additional logo files in .png (preferred) or high resolution .jpg or .gif format:

1. Backup manager (client) software: This logo can either be a vertical banner displayed on the left side of the software or a horizontal banner displayed across the top. 

1. Horizontal banner (default).  The logo image for a horizontal banner should be 80 to 580 pixels wide and 80 to 120 pixels tall.
2. Vertical banner.  The logo image for a vertical banner should be 80 to 130 pixels wide and 80 to 500 pixels tall.

2. Web portal (web-based management software):  This logo is composed of two images: a background image and a foreground image. The background image can be a solid color (e.g. white), a color fade (e.g. fade from blue to white), or a custom pattern.

1. Foreground Image: The foreground image should be 80 to 750 pixels wide and 80 to 140 pixels tall.  If your logo includes a patterned background, this foreground logo image needs a transparent background.
2. Background Image:  The background image needs to be 8 pixels taller than the foreground.
   1. Solid: If you choose to use a solid background for this logo, please specify the color to be used in the Logo Parameters box for “Web portal logo background”.
   2. Fade: We can also generate a left-to-right color fade background for this logo.  Please specify the left and right colors (e.g. fade from white to blue) in the Logo Parameters box for “Web portal logo background”.
   3. Custom (tiled): If the background image can be tiled horizontally, make this image only as wide as needed to hold the pattern (approx. 6 to 20 pixels wide).
   4. Custom (not tiled): If the background image is more complex and cannot be tiled horizontally, please provide an image that is 2000 pixels wide.

3.  Backup for Files System notification emails:  This is a horizontal logo displayed across the top of all notification emails sent by the software.  Ideally, this logo should be 410 pixels wide (but can be as wide as 580 pixels) and 80 to 120 pixels tall.  Email notifications may be printed, so dark backgrounds are less desirable.
