Logo Editing
The following is a step by step guide to customising your Dimensions logo image by replacing the logo text with your own organization or company’s name and logo.
In order to utilise the Fireworks Source PNG included with the Dimensions template release, you will need Adobe Fireworks. The 30-day free trial of this software as well as more information is available here at the Adobe website.
Customising Your Logo
One of the first steps of customising your new Dimensions template will undoubtedly be altering the logo text to reflect the name of your company / organization. RocketTheme makes this process a simple one by including both the Source PNG for the template, as well as font(s) used.
The most effective way to customise the logo is to use the included Source PNG file. When opened in Adobe Fireworks, this file contains all of the Layers in the design allowing you to tweak and change any of the image elements of the template design. The following steps will help you quickly get your new logo ready to go:
Step 1
First, open the main Source PNG file in Adobe Fireworks (dimensions_source.png). On the right side, you will notice a taskbar named Layers. Inside this column, a list of elements within the source will appear, dividied into folders. The first is Web Layers which controls the green slices on the page that are used to export the images. Click the eye which is immediately left to the folder name Web Layers to make it invisible. This allows use to edit the logo.
Step 2
Next, double click on the logo which should be position in top-centre. This will activate the text tool so you can edit the element. Highlight the entire text box with your cursor and type your text instead(such as your company name.)

You will observe that with any text such as our "Next Text;" it causes the logo to become un-aligned with the image behind. To make it, all you need to do is to left click on the box and either, drag with the move or move with the arrow keys on the keyboard. There is an option of change the X variable in the properties bar.
Step 3
You will notice a circular object behind the logo. You may wish to remove this object and the process is simple. You can left click on the path to highlight it or select it in the Layers panel on the right as shown in the screenshot. You can either, remove with the delete button or unpublish by selecting the eye icon next to the path’s name in the right side panel.
Step 4
We must now reactivate the web layers, you simply reverse step1 by selecting where the eye icon was; that being in the Layers Panel adjacent to the Web layers folder. Right click on the green slice that is situated above your new logo. A popup menu should appear with numerous options. The value we want to deal with is "Export Selected Slice…". As the name suggests, this option will export/save this slice only out of the entire source window.
