Basic customization lets you make changes to your survey project's:
To make these changes:
- 1
- Click “Basic customization”
- 2
- (Required) Edit the “Brand/product name” → ex. "The Women's Collection"
-
This required text entry automatically changes a) the question's title and b) the question itself! If you like, you can replace the title with a logo or image, as explained in the next step. (See how to change your entire question in part 2. Question customization.)
- 3
- Click “Update logo” → and add an image
-
Upload your image in either a PNG, JPG, or GIF file format. (See What format and file size should I use for logos?) Change out your logo as often as you like.

-
Change the accent colors by clicking the down arrows and choosing a new color from the palettes. For more precision, enter your brand’s hex color codes (ex. #EF5F1C).

- Don't forget to Save your changes!
Brand/product name (required)
Changes to the Brand/product name has two effects:
- If no logo is added, your brand/product name will also appear at the top of the survey
- Whatever you enter into the brand/product name box will alter the default question
- Adding "Hem & Stitch" will change the default NPS question to, "How likely are you to recommend Hem & Stitch to a friend?" See how to change your entire question in Question customization
-
Consider using Special Properties Interested in dynamically updating the brand/product name for each project? Check out our article on Special Properties to learn how.
Logo
Upload a logo or another image to appear directly above the survey question — replacing your brand/product name.
-
What format and file size should I use for logos or images?
Delighted accepts PNG, JPG, and GIF image file formats.
Generally, upload an image with the largest file size available. We’ll compress it to fit the Delighted format. (Albeit, if you're running into an issue with the logo not loading, try a smaller file size.)
Avoid uploading an image where any side is less than 300 pixels, or that has excessive white space above or below the image.
Top bar color
To change the color of the survey's top bar, select your color from the color palette, or enter a specific hex code. The bar color will be consistent through the entire survey experience — all the way to the Thank you page.
Button text color
To change the color of the text used for the number scale and selection choices, select your color from the color palette or enter a specific hex code.

To edit your question:
