DOMAIN LOGO

CUSTOMIZE YOUR GOOGLE WORKSPACE DOMAIN LOGO

Chrome extension

This Google Chrome extension replaces the Google Workspace domain logo in the top right corner with a default Google logo.


Within Google Workspace domains, you can have use only 1 logo. See Google Workspace admin help: https://support.google.com/a/answer/96474


This extension shows that you can circumvent that Google limitation. Your custom uploaded Google Workspace domain logo will be replaced by a default Google logo.

The extension also removes your custom Google Workspace domain logo from the print function in Gmail.


This extension is intended for the following use case:

  • you have a Google Workspace domain with a custom domain logo

  • the main brand of the company is being used in Google Workspace

  • your company has multiple brands

  • the brands are organised in the directory via Organisation Units (OU) or Google Groups

  • you want to reset the main brand logo to the default Google Workspace logo


Note: Google Workspace is the new Google name G Suite.

Note: If you want to apply a custom logo to an OU (organisation unit) in Google Workspace, please contact us. You can get the code & instruction on how to deploy the extension in your domain with your own brand logo.

MORE DETAILS

How it works

You will need to deploy this Chrome extension to your Google Chrome users. If you are a Google Workspace customer you can easily do this by Google Chrome browser management. This is part of your Google Workspace admin console. The following configuration is advised:

  • Force the installation of the Chrome extension in your Google Workspace domain to the relevant OU (Organsational Unit) or Google Group of users.

  • Mandate users to create a Google Chrome profile when accessing your Google Workspace domain.

Site authorisation

The Google Workspace domain logo is shown on the following Google services:

  1. mail.google.com

  2. drive.google.com

  3. calendar.google.com

  4. sites.google.com

  5. keep.google.com

  6. docs.google.com

  7. groups.google.com

Hence the Chrome extesion needs to have access to those websites to replace your custom logo.

When you print an email in Gmail, the custom Google Workspace domain logo is also shown. Hence the Chrome extension needs access to the Gmail print page.

  • https://mail.google.com/mail/*&view=pt*
