Where colors and logo take effect
Three places, one setting
You set colors and logo once. Picasi carries them out in three places:
| Place | What the brand sets |
|---|---|
| Graphics in reports and dossiers | Signal color, text color, surface color, the four category colors |
| Dossier PDF | The same colors, plus your logo on the pages and the signal color in the closing block |
| Matrix export | The three accent colors for own, market and neutral sources |
There is no second color picker any more. The accent colors of the Matrix export used to come from the Workspace base settings; they now come from the brand settings.
How the Matrix export derives the colors
The export needs three accent colors, the brand profile offers more. Picasi maps them like this:
| Accent in the export | Origin |
|---|---|
| Own sources | Signal color |
| Market sources | Category color 1 |
| Neutral sources | Category color 2 |
If you have not switched on expert mode, Picasi derives the four category colors from your signal color. The mapping still holds.
What the brand does not change
The interface. Picasi stays Picasi. Colors and logo take effect in what you hand on, not in what you work in.
The source line of the graphics. Under every graphic stands its origin, and there stands the Picasi logo. Your brand’s logo stands on the PDF pages.
Emails. Sending reports and suggestions runs unchanged.
Two logos, not one
Picasi accepts two files: one for light surfaces and optionally one for dark surfaces. Whatever suits the background is printed. Anyone who stores only one gets it in both places — on a dark ground a dark logo is then hard to see.
