Although limited in scope, you can make some adjustments to your Google Form to help make your overall design align with your logo. Within the theme customization menu on your Google Form, you can adjust the colors of your form to complement the colors of your logo.

You can adjust the primary colors that border your questions, as well as the background colors of your form. Google Forms even lets you change the color of your background to one of several complementary shades.

If you’re looking to match your form’s font to your logo, you can also choose from the available font options for your heading, question, and body text. You may not be able to find an exact match, but you can try to get as close as possible to your brand font.

But Google Forms isn’t the only form builder out there; alternatives like Jotform also let you add your organization’s logo when creating a new form. Find out how below.

Frequently asked questions

No, you cannot add more than one image to the header of your form. If you want to include more than one image in your Google Form, you will need to add it to a question instead.

Yes, you can upload images to Google Forms to use as logos. Although Google Forms offers a variety of premade header images, you can upload images directly from your computer or device, or even your Google Photos account. Once you upload an image from your device, you can crop and rotate it to ensure it fits within Google Forms’ header image sizing requirements.

To add multiple images as logos in Google Forms, you will need to add inline images to your form’s questions. Google Forms only allows you to add a single image as a primary header logo. However, you can use inline images in your questions to work around this limitation.
