[Chapter-delegates] On visual identity of FB pages

[Dan Graham]

Hi all,

I don't think we have a square version of the logo. However, Facebook does allow you to edit the thumbnail version of the logo which means you can drag it so that it fits better. Click on "change picture" (when you mouse over your logo), then "edit thumbnail"). For an example, see: http://www.facebook.com/InternetSociety

Regards,

Dan
