Replacing the Articulate Logo
May 31, 2012
Hello,
I'm trying to publish a module and replace the Articulate logo with a custom logo. I've followed the instructions found throughout this site and worked with others to try and figure out where I'm going wrong.
After following the instructions to replace the Articulate logo and publish as a WBT to create an LMS preview link to view the module, I'm able to see the custom logo which replaces the Articulate logo (so that tells me I'm doing something right!).
I will then take that same file and republish to "LMS" and create a zip file. From there, I can create a link to our LMS QA site for a final review of the module and there the custom logo is no longer in the presenter. I've gone into the Player folder (in my zip file) to make sure the SWF file is still there, and it is. I've also gone into the data folder and looked at the playerproperties.xml to make sure the code I entered is still there, and it is.
Has anyone else seen this happen or have any suggestions on how to get the custom logo into the Presenter once it's published to the LMS?

Hi Angela,
Can you clarify what Articulate logo are you talking about, top left or bottom left?
The bottom left (Powerd by Articulate logo)
Thought so, just needed to be sure.
When you re-publish to LMS are you going through the same process again as when you published to web?
Yes, the only thing I'll do different is instead of publishing using "Web", I'm using "LMS". In my version published to "LMS" I'm also using a zip file. But other than that, I'm using the same files and following the same process.
I've not come accross this before, I have published to LMS on may occasions and never had an issue. But to be sure have you tested the final LMS version before you create the link for the LMS QA?
You can do that here if you didn't know
Yeah, when I open the LMS version player the logo is there. There's something about viewing the module through the link established in LMS that the logo isn't appearing anymore.
My thoughts too, are you able to send me the link so I can check? You can Inbox me if you prefer.
How would I go about sending you a link to the module so you can view it?
Sorry, I mis-understood, I read the word link and assumed you uploaded it to the web for the review.
Often when things like this happen, it is a local issue, do you have an Administrator you can talk to, it could be in the settings which you would have no control of.
Yeah, I've spoken with her but she hasn't seen this happen and this is our first time attempting to replace the logo. I figured it was worth a shot posting a question here to see if anyone else has experienced this!
Luke, I just noticed a post from earlier that shows this link:
In Presenter '09 you can remove and replace the Articulate logo. Here's how you remove the logo:

The instructions I followed didn't instruct me on how to remove the Articulate logo and then replace it...it only had me insert a code in the playerproperties.xml file. The above link doesn't work. Any ideas on how I can access the above referenced instructions? It's worth a shot!
I'm sorry but I have no Idea, I think it is still to do with the settings so perhaps an Administrator with Moodle may be able to help.
In Powerpoint, select the Articulate Tab, then select Player Templates and finally Player Controls
This is how you remove the logo, however this must be checked on if you want your logo to be seen.
Well, that may be my problem, because I currently have this box unchecked! Crossing my fingers that this works!
