Customise the Joomla Admin With Your Logo and Brand

Customize the Joomla Backend with your Brand

By default, the Joomla admin area carries the Joomla logo and brand.

This makes sense for a default Joomla installation, but often you may need to add your customers' branding. After all, your customer may have staff members who know little or nothing about Joomla.

The default administrator template in Joomla 3 is called Isis (insert your own joke here). I'm going to show you how use Isis to re-brand your Joomla admin area.

Set your color scheme

  • Go to Extensions > Templates > isis - Default
  • In the "Advanced" tab choose the color scheme from your brand. In my example, I’m using the OSTraining color scheme.
