# Changing the logo and icons
When installing Material for MkDocs, you immediately get access to _over 7.000
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][1] with very little effort.

## Configuration
### Logo
[:octicons-file-code-24: Source][2] ·
:octicons-milestone-24: Default: `material/library`
There're two ways to specify a _logo_: it must be a valid path to [any icon
bundled with the theme][3], or to a user-provided image located in the `docs`
folder. Both can be set via `mkdocs.yml`:
=== "Icon"
``` yaml
theme:
icon:
logo: material/library
```
=== "Image"
``` yaml
theme:
logo: assets/logo.png
```

[3]: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/tree/master/material/.icons
### Favicon
[:octicons-file-code-24: Source][4] ·
:octicons-milestone-24: Default: `assets/images/favicon.png`
The _favicon_ can be changed to a path pointing to a user-provided image, which
must be located in the `docs` folder. It can be set via `mkdocs.yml`:
``` yaml
theme:
favicon: images/favicon.png
```

### Icons
[:octicons-file-code-24: Source][3] · [:octicons-workflow-24: Extension][5]
The [Emoji][5] extension, which is part of [Python Markdown Extensions][6],
adds the ability to __integrate icons__ in the `*.svg` file format, which are
inlined when [building your site][7]:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- pymdownx.emoji:
emoji_index: !!python/name:materialx.emoji.twemoji
emoji_generator: !!python/name:materialx.emoji.to_svg
```
The following icon sets are bundled with Material for MkDocs:
* :material-material-design: [Material Design][8]
* :fontawesome-brands-font-awesome-flag: [FontAwesome][9]
* :octicons-mark-github-16: [Octicons][10]
If you want to add [additional icons][1], read on.

## Customization
### Additional icons
[:octicons-file-code-24: Source][3] ·
:octicons-mortar-board-24: Difficulty: _moderate_
In order to add additional icons, [extend the theme][11] and create a folder
named `.icons` in the [`custom_dir`][12] 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][13] icon set, and want to add it to
your project documentation. The structure of your project should look like this:
``` sh
.
├─ docs/
│ └─ index.md
├─ 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 should now be able to use the :fontawesome-brands-bootstrap: Bootstrap
icons.
