I don't mind so much that the logo's are supported in the mobile player - but the fuzziness I can't leave with!
Do you know the exact dimensions that the logo is supposed to be? And what format is best to use? And no, the logo is a high resolution image - not taken from any other source!
For best results, use an image that is a maximum of 200 pixels wide and 220 pixels high. If your image doesn't fit within those dimensions, Storyline will scale it to fit.
Note: When you add a logo to your sidebar, Storyline includes a border and slight shadow on it. If you want to change or remove either of these, no problem—you can customize their colors (or make them transparent) by modifying your player's color scheme.
Also, have you set the player to fill the browser window? Player elements, such as the title and menu, may look blurry in HTML5 content when compared to the crispness of the Flash version of the same course. This can occur if you've chosen toscale the player to fill the browser window.
This issue stems from how web browsers currently handle text that dynamically scales in HTML5 content. To prevent the loss of quality due to scaling, lock the player at optimal size rather than allowing it to fill the browser.
I've tried setting the bg and shadow to 100% transparency and that didn't make any difference, so I assume that the issue is that the player is set to scale to fit browser window, like you say.
Thank you - I shall see if we can live with it, given that I prefer the scaling to browser window!
I don't know if this would help any, but I ditched the sidebar and actually built my logo into my Player template slides. My projects are mostly simulations, so I needed as much real estate as possible. So, I have my logo on the info slides, but not on the full page simulations.
The problem with the sidebar is that it helps my learners when they re-visit the content to jump around to what they need - otherwise that's a very sensible suggestion! Thank you - I'll see what the team think.

Hi Rachel!
Are you using the Mobile Player or HTML5 on your iPad (Storyline does not currently support Android)?
Logos aren't supported in the Mobile Player, but it should be visible in the HTML5 output. Did you bring the logo in from another player, by any chance?

Thank you for the additional information.

Sounds good, Rachel!
Best of luck with the project
