Customers/users should be able to replace Elastic logo and customize Kibana themes through advanced setting

[jinmu03]

We have many customers and users who prefer to replace Elastic logo with their own logos or editing the Kibana themes. There is a way to do it according to Dave Snider's instructions, but the user experience isn't intuitive enough. We should enable users to upload their own logos, their company names, or select the matching color scheme through Kibana advanced settings.

With Elastic quick release cycle and we maintain our stack at least N-2, every update taking more time to change logos. In 7.8.x, the way logos load changed. I spent considerable amount of time without success. Later with official ticket got the update that Kibana recompile needed for certain logos.

Please make this feature available soon; if not for all, at least for x-pack/licensed users. Appreciate your help.

Just to be sure, before I start digging about all logos usages in the codebase: Which logo(s) and/or which occurence(s) of the logo(s) are we exactly talking about here?

Do we 'just' want to be able to change all occurrences of (and only of) the ES logo, such as

[mvenukadasula]

Loading Elastic logo, space selector logo, top left menu navigation and favicon is what we are looking for. Thanks for checking. Let me know if you need screenshots.

[ManuelFFF]

Please include:

• Favicon and title
• Navbar/sidebar top logo
• Login screen/welcome logo
• Loading logo
• Space selector
• And also include the "exit fullscreen button"

Thank you

Hello team, do we have any plans to integrate this to Cloud offerings as well? Currently, cloud users are not able to replace the logos with their own, and was wondering if we are switching to UI approach, this can be extended to Cloud users as well. If you require a different enhancement for Cloud, I'd be happy to open one for Cloud separately. Thanks!

[pgayvallet]

I'll let @alexfrancoeur answer that one.

[Arfaoui-Mahdi]

any news guys ?

[sang-elastic]

Do we have an ETA for this functionality and will it be available to the Elastic cloud as well?

Thanks

[pgayvallet]

Do we have an ETA for this functionality

This is not currently prioritized for any 7 minor.

will it be available to the Elastic cloud as well

Likely yes.

[mvenukadasula]

We are not seeing a value in being customer with platinum license. We rarely use the support as many questions answered in the community. None of the features requested being prioritized including this one. Every time we upgrade, need to spend time and it will not work completely. At least release an official guide to change logos manually. Hope someone from Elastic listening, I am disappointed!!!

[kunisen]

Not only the logo, but could we also make the "text" on the login page to be edittable?
Thanks!

[mvenukadasula]

One more year passed and zero momentum!

[pgayvallet]

@mvenukadasula we're currently in the process of migrated our EUI library from sass to jss, which is a prerequisite to allow advanced theme customization. Until this rework is done, any customization feature is on hold.

[paulyahchouchy]

Hi Elastic, is this customisation now available/possible on Elastic Cloud?
And if not, what's the ETA, please?
Thanks,

[JuanxDrock]

When will you update this case? O.O

[Kalmuraee]

Any Idea when this will be available ?

[acgustafson]

Any plans to include this in an 8.x release? We pay for a platinum subscription and it would make the product more professional looking to the rest of the company if we are able to customize it with our own name/logo.

[lizozom]

I've made an example third party plugin (outside of my ES work) that does just that.
Feel free to contribute \ clone and modify!

https://github.com/lizozom/custom-kibana-logo

[Sinistr0]

Hey @lizozom can you say or put in the readme of this project, how to install this plugin, custom-kibana-logo?

[acgustafson]

@lizozom This looks wonderful! Hopefully this functionality can be integrated to Kibana without plugins in the future.
Thank you!

[eremit4]

@lizozom the idea is wonderful but the description of how to use it is not good. I didn't understand almost anything on how to use it and i would be super happy to be able to use it

[githubshirkevikas]

@lizozom : I tried using above plugin code but image and text is not getting appeared on Login page. Any help?

[lizozom]

@githubshirkevikas @eremit4 @acgustafson @Sinistr0
I just updated the project with a fresh readme file.
I also enhanced it with a bunch of additional goodness such as controlling the favicon, tab name and fonts.

Hope this helps!

[pgayvallet]

I would like an update on the status please

cc @elastic/kibana-global-experience as they're in charge of this issue now

[tsullivan]

cc @majagrubic Is there a check-in we can give regarding the custom branding project?

[majagrubic]

Hi, we're actively working on custom branding feature. It should be released within the next few minors.

[wkruse]

In the meantime OpenSearch Dashboards custom branding could be used, which is compatible with Elastic 7.10.x stack and supports custom branding for quite a while.

[vguruprasad06]

I know the last comment on this ticket was this feature will come soon. Do you have an exact timeline on which release this feature will be added to ESS cloud version

[vguruprasad06]

We are using Kibana as embedded experience & would like to put our company branding information

[khairul-auntim]

Any update on this? Earlier it was said the feature would be available in some 7.. minor releases but it's a Kibana 8.8 is here but no update on this. Can someone clarify if this will come to reality or not?

[majagrubic]

This is available from Kibana 8.8.0 onwards: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/8.8/whats-new.html#_custom_branding
Please note that custom branding will require Enterprise license or above.

@vadimkibana @Dosant can this issue now be closed? (I don't have permissions 😅 )

[marcomusso]

The login page is still like before. I can read 3 times Elastic and not once a string of my choosing :(
PS: also the (single) logo doesn't play nice with white background (login) and black background (top bar).

[mvenukadasula]

Appreciate if someone can share screenshot on how it looks to save effort of testing. We do code changes today for custom logos. Hoping this feature will save that effort. Would like to see how new logo replacement looks like.

[sixstringcode]

Here is what it looks like in product. The images support transparent PNG, you should design the image for the intended use by making sure you use the recommended resolution and that you don't do something like having colors that match the background colors while using transparency. It should allow you to handle the branding side but it does not manage colors.

@marcomusso that last comment definitely applies to your comment. It's not intended to manage color and design choices, someone should be creating an image that works with background color and transparency.

[zakwanhaj]

@sixstringcode Does this need a specific privilege or role? I can see the logo and organization name from my user view, but it doesn't work or show for other users with limited access

I just found that I need to enable "Saved Objects Management" in order to make this visible to users that should have access to dashboards only

This is odd, why must I need to give read access to Saved objects in settings to all users?
