How do I add my logo and brand colors?
Last updated
In DistilBook you set brand colours when you create a video and add your logo in the brand settings. In Guided Explainer, the create form has Brand Colors, Background, Logos, and Opening and closing cards. In Motion Explainer, choose a Brand colors preset or Your colors to enter your primary and secondary colours, then open the Brand tab in the video editor to add your logo, company name and tagline, and set opening and closing cards. Custom colours and your own branding are on every paid plan, including the $15 Basic plan. Branding is never an upgrade to a higher tier.
What do you need before you start?
- A paid plan for custom colours and your own logo. The $15 Basic plan includes them.
- Your logo as an image file, and your brand colours as hex codes.

What are the limits?
The honest list, so you know before you start rather than after.
- Custom colours are on paid plans; the free plan offers the preset colour sets.
- Brand colours apply to the style you picked, so check the preview with See it in this style.
Common questions
Is branding only on the expensive plan?
No. Your logo and brand colours are on every paid plan, including Basic at $15 a month.
Can I use the same branding on every video?
Yes. Set it for each video you make; your colours and logo apply to every scene in that video.
