  1. Introduction to Customizing Microsoft 365 Tenant
    In this guide, we will explore how to customize the logo and theme of your Microsoft 365 tenant. This customization allows your organization to maintain a consistent brand identity within the Microsoft 365 environment, particularly on the SharePoint intranet.
  2. Accessing the Admin Center
    To begin customizing your tenant, log into your Microsoft 365 portal. On the top left, you will notice your company logo instead of the default Microsoft logo. To access the customization options, navigate to the admin center by following these steps: 1. Click on 'Settings'. 2. Select 'All Settings' (3rd tab). 3. Look for 'Custom Themes'.
  3. Creating and Managing Themes
    Within the 'Custom Themes' section, you have several options: - **Add a New Theme**: Click to create a new theme. You will need to provide a name for it. - **Edit Existing Themes**: Use the three dots (ellipsis) next to an existing theme to edit or delete it. - **Delete Themes**: Be cautious when deleting themes, as this action cannot be undone. You can assign the new theme to up to five groups, ensuring that only selected users see the custom theme instead of the default organizational theme.
  4. Setting Logos and Links
    In the second tab of the theme customization, you can set: - **Default Logo**: Upload your company logo. - **Alternate Logo**: Optionally, upload a secondary logo. - **Onclick Link**: Paste a link that directs users to your SharePoint intranet or any other relevant link outside of Microsoft 365. This allows for seamless navigation and branding.
  5. Customizing Colors
    The third tab allows you to customize the colors of various elements: - **Navigation Bar**: Change the color of the navigation bar. - **Text and Icons**: Adjust the colors of text and icons. - **Accent Colors**: Set accent colors to enhance the visual appeal. Ensure that your color selections meet the minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for accessibility. You can define specific colors using a color picker or by entering a hex code.
  6. Finalizing Your Theme
    Once you have made all your customizations, click 'Save' to apply the changes. Your new theme will now be active, and only the users in the selected groups will see it. If you need to delete the theme later, return to the three dots (ellipsis) and select 'Delete'. Remember, this action is irreversible.
  7. Conclusion
    In this guide, we have successfully created and customized a new theme for our organization within Microsoft 365. By following these steps, you can enhance your company's branding and improve user experience on your SharePoint intranet. Customizing themes not only reflects your organization's identity but also fosters a cohesive work environment.
