Logos, fonts and colours
Administrators upload your logo and set header colours in Company Settings. Fonts are chosen from a supported list, and logos must be PNG or JPEG under 5MB.
In RemakeCV, your logo, header logo and header/footer colour are set by an administrator in Company Settings, and the CV font is chosen from the built-in list or added for your agency on request. Logos must be PNG or JPEG under 5MB — SVG is not accepted. Get the logo dimensions right and the rest is straightforward.
Uploading your logo
| Asset | Format | Size limit | Suggested dimensions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Logo | PNG or JPEG | 5MB | ~800 × 100 px |
| Header logo | PNG or JPEG | 5MB | ~1000 × 400 px |
SVG files are not accepted. Export your logo to PNG at the suggested dimensions or larger. A transparent PNG is strongly preferable to JPEG, which will put a white box behind your logo.
Choosing a font
Ready to select straight away:
Arial · Aptos · Tahoma · Calibri · Helvetica · Cambria · Century Gothic · Garamond · Montserrat · Apercu Pro Medium
Using your own brand font? Email support@remakecv.com with the font and we will add it to your template — agencies routinely run their own typeface rather than one of the above.
One practical note for DOCX output: a font renders on the recipient's machine only if they have it installed, so a distinctive brand font can shift the layout on a client's PC. Two common approaches — send PDF, which embeds fonts and always looks identical, or pair your brand font in headings with an Office-standard body font (Arial, Calibri, Cambria, Garamond, Tahoma, Helvetica). We will set either up for you.

Header and footer colour
Set as a colour value in Company Settings by an administrator — any colour, no palette to choose from. If you have a Pantone or CMYK value from a print brand guide, convert it to hex first and check the result on screen, since print colours rarely match exactly. Send us the brand guide and we will match it for you.
Who can change what
| Setting | Who |
|---|---|
| Logo and header logo | Administrator |
| Header and footer colour | Administrator |
| Company address, office number, licence number | Administrator |
| CV font | Available beyond administrators |
Font choice being widely available is the most common reason two consultants produce differently styled CVs from the same template. Agree one font as a team and check everyone has it set. See template basics.
Accessibility
Some clients — public sector especially — apply contrast requirements to documents they receive. Pale grey body text on white is the usual thing they flag. If your clients audit for this, factor it into your colour choices, or ask us to check the template for you.
Frequently asked questions
- What logo format should I upload?
- PNG or JPEG, under 5MB. SVG is not accepted. Aim for roughly 800x100 pixels for the standard logo and 1000x400 for a header logo.
- Can we use our own brand font?
- Yes. Your brand font can be added to your template — email support@remakecv.com with the font and we will set it up. Worth knowing for DOCX output: a custom font renders on the recipient's machine only if they have it installed, so many agencies pair a brand font for headings with a widely available body font.
- Who can change branding?
- An administrator, in Company Settings. Font choice is available more widely, which is worth knowing if your team's output looks inconsistent.
