# Changing the logo and icons
When installing Material for MkDocs, you immediately get access to _over 8.000
icons_ ready to be used for customization of specific parts of the theme and/or
when writing your documentation in Markdown. Not enough? You can also add
[additional icons] with minimal effort.
[additional icons]: #additional-icons
## Configuration
### Logo
[:octicons-tag-24: 0.1.0][logo support] ·
:octicons-milestone-24: Default: [`material/library`][logo default]
The logo can be changed to a user-provided image (any type, incl. `*.png` and
`*.svg`) located in the `docs` folder, or to any icon bundled with the theme.
Add the following lines to `mkdocs.yml`:
=== ":octicons-image-16: Image"
``` yaml
theme:
logo: assets/logo.png
```
=== ":octicons-package-16: Icon, bundled"
``` yaml
theme:
icon:
logo: material/library # (1)!
```
1. Enter a few keywords to find the perfect icon using our [icon search] and
click on the shortcode to copy it to your clipboard:
<div class="mdx-iconsearch" data-mdx-component="iconsearch">
<input class="md-input md-input--stretch mdx-iconsearch__input" placeholder="Search icon" data-mdx-component="iconsearch-query" value="material library" />
<div class="mdx-iconsearch-result" data-mdx-component="iconsearch-result" data-mdx-mode="file">
<div class="mdx-iconsearch-result__meta"></div>
<ol class="mdx-iconsearch-result__list"></ol>
</div>
</div>
[logo support]: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/releases/tag/0.1.0
[logo default]: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/blob/master/material/.icons/material/library.svg
[icon search]: ../reference/icons-emojis.md#search
Normally, the logo in the header and sidebar links to the homepage of the
documentation, which is the same as `site_url`. This behavior can be changed
with the following configuration:
``` yaml
extra:
homepage: https://example.com
```
### Favicon
[:octicons-tag-24: 0.1.0][favicon support] ·
:octicons-milestone-24: Default: [`assets/images/favicon.png`][favicon default]
The favicon can be changed to a path pointing to a user-provided image, which
must be located in the `docs` folder. Add the following lines to `mkdocs.yml`:
``` yaml
theme:
favicon: images/favicon.png
```
[favicon support]: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/releases/tag/0.1.0
[favicon default]: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/blob/master/material/assets/images/favicon.png
## Customization
### Additional icons
In order to use custom icons, [extend the theme] and create a new folder named
`.icons` in the [`custom_dir`][custom_dir] you want to use for overrides.
Next, add your `*.svg` icons into a subfolder of the `.icons` folder. Let's say
you downloaded and unpacked the [Bootstrap] icon set, and want to add it to
your project documentation. The structure of your project should look like this:
``` sh
.
├─ overrides/
│ └─ .icons/
│ └─ bootstrap/
│ └─ *.svg
└─ mkdocs.yml
```
Then, add the following lines to `mkdocs.yml`:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.emoji:
emoji_index: !!python/name:materialx.emoji.twemoji
emoji_generator: !!python/name:materialx.emoji.to_svg
options:
custom_icons:
- overrides/.icons
```
You can now use all :fontawesome-brands-bootstrap: Bootstrap icons.
