Custom Branding

 

You can add Custom Branding to your apps to replace the default 360FLIX branding.

 

The elements that you can customize are:

 

1. The Splash Page: The image you see when your mobile app launches. (VR apps and the web player do not show a Splash Page).

 

2. The Logo: The Logo appears at the top of the mobile apps, the top-left corner of the web player as well as at the top of the VR based six grid navigation on the VR based apps.

Multiple Brands

Each team can customize their own branding. If you are dealing with more than one brand, create a new team and administrate multiple brands from within the CMS by switching teams.

CUSTOMIZING YOUR BRANDING

 

To customize the branding on your apps:

 

1. Choose Settings in the Drop Down Menu next to your User Profile

 

 

2. In the Settings Menu Choose Application Settings

 

 

3. In the Application Languages Panel you must first add the languages you want to customize your branding for

 

 

4. Start typing the name of a language in the Enabled Languages field and choose it from the drop-down list

 

 

You must choose at least one language to be able to configure your branding. There is no limit to how many languages you can add

 

5. After choosing languages you need to set the default language. The default language is the language the player apps should display the branding for, if a device is set for a language NOT listed in Enabled Languages. If for instance, the Enabled Languages include English, German and French with English being specified as the default language, a phone that has been switched to Spanish will show the English branding

 

 

UPLOAD THE BRANDING

 

To configure the branding you must upload it to the CMS in the Branding Panel. You can upload a custom logo and a splash page in portrait and landscape mode by dragging an image file into the designated areas of the Branding Panel.

The new branding will take effect the next time you restart your apps.

CUSTOM BRANDING SPECIFICATIONS

 

Splash page (Landscape):

 

1. File format: png or jpg (no alpha)

2. Aspect ratio: 16:10  (it will be crop-centered depending on the actual device’s screen aspect ratio)

3. Size: 2560×1600

 

Splash page (Portrait):

 

1. File format: png or jpg (no alpha)

2. Suggested aspect ratio: 16:9 (it will be crop-centered depending on the actual device’s screen aspect ratio)

3. Size:1080×1920

 

Custom logo:

 

1. File format: png (with alpha background)

Once the branding assets are uploaded the CMS will generate images in various sizes dynamically on demand dependent on the device.

Android Custom Branding

Android devices come in many screen aspect ratio variations and are not standardized like the iPhone. As a result, some Android splash pages may be cropped inconsistently and appear differently from how they are presented in the CMS
