How to Add Custom Branding to Your 360 Photo and Virtual Tours
There are many ways to add your own custom touches to your 360 images in SeekBeak. One of the most important customization features we offer is complete control of your branding options within a 360 photo or virtual tour. Keep reading to learn about your many branding options.
Custom Domains
One very powerful branding option is a custom domain. Creating a memorable domain name, or using your existing business domain to display SeekBeak content is completely possible. For example, you could have all your SeekBeak Snaps show up under the URL "https://yourcompanytour.com" or "https://tours.yourcompany.com." etc. For more information and pricing for Custom Domains, check out the pricing page here.
Brand Colors For Your Hotspots
One of the easiest ways to leave your visual mark is by changing the colors of your Hotspots. In the example Custom Branding Tour, I've changed my Hotspots to have a white background and my text and icons to be blue which matches the SeekBeak logo.
Clicking the "Save As Default" icon will save these color preferences for all future Hotspots you create in your Team's account. You can create as many different Hotspot color variations within a Snap as you see fit.
Custom Branding Options
To access the Custom Branding / Analytics options, open a Snap, click Preferences, and open up the "Custom Branding" section.
You have quite a bit of control of how your branding will look and where it links to.
Each Snap you upload can have it's own custom branding, allowing for you to customize 360 images for a wide variety of clients and companies. Branding settings can be copied to other Snaps as well, set it all up the way you want it in one Snap, then instantly copy all the settings to every other Snap in the Group.
Don't forget: there are a multitude of ways to do more branding using Overlays, our custom User Interfaces which are "overlaid" on top of your Snap!
Dynamic Zenith and Nadir Patches
Want to remove that tripod that is at the very bottom of your photo (the nadir)? Want to add some branding or an image for those that look all the way up?
That's what Zenith and Nadir Patches are for. You can access this option in the Snap Preferences. Upload a JPG or PNG file and control the size of it using the distance slider.
Our Zeniths and Nadir patches are dynamic. They rotate around with the users view, so they're always facing up, which means no more struggling to read upside down text.
The patches are also non-destructive: unlike Photoshop and other image editors, you're not 'burning in' the patch to your original image. That means less re-compressing of your images, and less hassle if you need to change a client logo or other branding!
Custom Hotspot Icons
A great way to make your mark on your images is by uploading your own icons for use with your Hotspots.
SeekBeak allows you to replace any icon with one that you've uploaded or created. You upload the icons via the "User Icons" link in the main menu.
Once the icon has been uploaded. You may access it from your Hotspot editor by clicking the "Icon" button. You can also delete icons from the "User Icons" section.
Save Regularly Used Hotspots in the Hotspot Library
Occasionally, there might be Hotspots you use over and over again. We created the Hotspot Library so you can save specific Hotspots for reuse.
To save a Hotspot to the Library, just open the Hotspot editor and click "Add To Library." Easy!
Hotspot Options Area
In order to access your Library, create a Hotspot, open the "Options" option in the Hotspot Menu, and then click "Open Library."
The Hotspot Template Library
From here you can see any Hotspots that you've saved in the past. You can also do optional things like only apply the visual styles, or set the style you select to be your default for every Point Hotspot.
