Organisation Logo and Images: Brand Identity + About Gallery
Overview
Your organisation has two visual surfaces on Seaty: a logo that acts as your brand mark, and an optional about-page gallery that decorates only your organisation's about page.
The two are independent. The logo is your brand mark. The gallery is purely additional content for visitors browsing your organisation page.
At its simplest, the Images section answers two questions: How do people recognise my organisation at a glance, and what do I want them to see when they land on my about page?
Who uses this: Organisation administrators with editing permissions.
Key capabilities:
- A single logo image, shown on your organisation page in the Seaty app, on printable tickets and reports, and as the social-share preview when someone shares your organisation link
- An optional main gallery of up to five images shown beside your description on your organisation page
- An optional showcase gallery of up to five real photos shown below your description, choosing between a horizontal strip or a vertical magazine-style flow
- An optional wide header banner above your description
- An optional wide footer banner at the very bottom of your about page
- Per-image focal points and captions for accessibility, search engines, and the fullscreen lightbox
How It Works
At a glance: Upload your logo (used everywhere). Optionally add a gallery and banners (about page only). Save.
1. Set your logo
The logo is your organisation's brand mark. Pick something that reads well at small sizes, usually a square, often a stylised mark or wordmark. It appears on your organisation page in the Seaty app, on printable tickets and reports, and as the social-share preview when someone shares a link to your organisation.
Note: the logo is not shown on event listings, in search results, on event pages, or on the public organisation about page itself. Each event has its own image; the about page has the gallery (below).
2. Add an about-page gallery (optional)
Beside your description on your organisation's about page, you can show up to five additional images. Use these for venue shots, performance photography, prior productions, anything that helps a first-time visitor understand what you do.
3. Add a header and/or footer banner (optional)
If you want a wide, edge-to-edge image framing the top or bottom of your about page, add a banner. Banners must be at least 2:1 (twice as wide as they are tall). The crop tool offers 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, or 5:1 shapes. Pick whichever fits the image.
4. Save
Click Save in the editor toolbar. Logo and gallery save in one operation. Your changes appear immediately.
Think of it this way:
- The logo is your organisation's face to the rest of Seaty
- The gallery is what decorates your about page itself
- The banners are optional cinematic strips that frame the page
The Logo
The logo sits at the top of the Images section. Click the upload area, pick a JPEG or PNG, and it uploads immediately. To replace, click again.
The logo is your organisation's brand mark. It appears in these places:
- On your organisation's page in the Seaty mobile app (as a contained image at the top)
- On printable blank tickets: the tear-off ticket templates organisers print for on-the-door use
- On attendee statements: the printable summary an attendee can save or print
- In the header of printed reports generated from the admin dashboard
- As the social-share preview image (Open Graph tag) when someone shares your organisation URL on Facebook, LinkedIn, or other platforms
- In your organisation's tile on the admin dashboard's "My Organisations" list
The logo is not shown on event listings, in search results on the public site, on individual event pages, or on the public organisation about page itself. Each event has its own image and gallery; the about page uses the gallery below.
For most organisations, the logo is a small square graphic: a stylised mark, a wordmark, or both. Photographs work but tend to be less recognisable at thumbnail size.
The logo is independent of the gallery. Removing or changing the logo has no effect on the gallery; removing or changing the gallery has no effect on the logo.
The About-Page Gallery
The gallery slot sits below the logo in the editor. It has three optional sub-sections:
Main gallery (up to 5 images)
Shown alongside your description on your organisation's about page. Drag images to reorder. Each image supports:
- Adjust focus: choose which part of the image stays visible when it's cropped to different shapes (square thumbnail, banner, tall card). Useful when subjects are off-centre.
- Caption: appears under the image in the lightbox; used as alt text for screen readers and search engines. Keep captions short and descriptive.
The gallery's first image is not synced to the logo. The two are completely separate concepts.
Showcase gallery (optional, up to 5 images)
A separate row of real photos shown below your description, before any "What's coming up" content. Best for venue interiors, performance shots, your team behind the scenes, audience reactions, content that tells the story of your organisation rather than just branding.
Pick one of two layouts:
- Horizontal (default): images sit side by side in a single row. 1 image is shown centred at a sensible maximum size, 2 fill half the row each, 3–5 fill the row equally.
- Vertical: images stack as larger 16:9 magazine-style rows, one above another. Use this for storytelling sequences where each photo deserves its own moment.
The showcase is independent from the main gallery and the logo. Skip it if all you have is logo and poster variants, as the main gallery already shows those off well.
Header banner (optional, single image)
A wide image shown above your description, edge-to-edge. Must be at least 2:1. The crop tool opens automatically and offers 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, or 5:1 shapes. If your image is already wider than 2:1, you can use it as-is via the Original preset that appears.
Footer banner (optional, single image)
The same as the header, but rendered at the very bottom of your about page, after the showcase and any other content.
The Lightbox
When a visitor clicks any image in your main gallery, it opens in a fullscreen lightbox. They can:
- Use the left and right arrows (or arrow keys) to move between gallery images
- See the caption below the image (if you've added one)
- Press Escape or click the × to close

Best Practices
Pick the right logo
- Sharp at small sizes (used on the app and as a social-share thumbnail)
- Prints well in black-on-white (it appears on printable tickets and reports)
- Holds up against a range of background colours
- Square shapes work best, as the Seaty app and many printed contexts use a contained box
Build a small supporting gallery
You don't have to use all five gallery slots. Two or three carefully chosen shots tell a stronger story than a padded gallery. Possible content:
- The interior of your venue from an audience seat
- Past productions
- The cast or team in performance
- Programme art, posters, or design pieces
Banners are atmosphere, not information
- Wide environmental shots (auditorium, exterior, foyer)
- Avoid heavy text near the edges, as different screens crop banners slightly differently
- A panoramic photograph works better than a graphic with content tightly packed
Caption every image
Captions help in three ways:
- Visually impaired visitors rely on them via screen readers
- Search engines use them to understand image content
- Sighted visitors see them in the lightbox
Keep them under one sentence. Describe the content, not the medium.
Where Each Image Appears
| Image | Where it shows |
|---|---|
| Logo | The Seaty app's organisation page · Printable blank tickets · Attendee statements · Printed reports · Social-share preview (Open Graph) · Admin dashboard |
| Main gallery | Your organisation's about page, alongside the description |
| Showcase | Your organisation's about page, below the description (horizontal strip or vertical stack) |
| Header banner | The top of your organisation's about page |
| Footer banner | The very bottom of your organisation's about page (after "What's coming up", mailing list, and personnel sections) |
The logo is not shown on event listings, search results, event pages, or the public organisation about page. Events have their own image; the about page uses the gallery above.
Common Questions
Logo
Can I remove the logo entirely?
You can replace it with a different image at any time, but every organisation should have a logo set. Without one, listings show a placeholder.
What format should my logo be?
JPEG and PNG are both accepted. PNG is better if your logo has transparency (e.g. a wordmark on a transparent background). JPEG is fine for photographic or filled-colour logos.
Gallery and banners
Is the gallery shown on event pages too?
No. The gallery and banners appear only on your organisation's about page. Individual events have their own image system (event main gallery + event header/footer banners).
What happens if I don't add a gallery?
Your organisation's about page renders exactly as it always has, with description, awards, contact links, and social. The gallery feature is purely additive.
Can different gallery images have different captions?
Yes. Captions are per-image.
Where should I put photos of the venue itself, the building, interior, gardens?
The organisation has a separate Venue Info section with its own imagery slots (header banner, Showcase, footer banner) specifically for real venue photos. Those appear on your public Find Us page and on every event that inherits your organisation venue. The Images section here is for brand imagery (logo and about-page gallery), not venue photography. See Venue Info for the venue imagery slots.
Editor behaviour
Why are gallery uploads deferred until I save?
The Images section batches the logo upload and all gallery changes together with the rest of the organisation. This means you can change your mind, reorder, crop, and caption freely without committing anything until you're happy.
Next Steps
After setting up your organisation visuals:
- Customise your theme to match your visual identity
- Add your social links and contact details so visitors can reach you
- Set up your event listings. Events inherit no images from the organisation, each event has its own
