How to Add Your Logo
Pick whichever variant above best fits your website layout and background — horizontal, vertical, rounded, or dark-background.
Click the "Copy Embed Code" button below your chosen logo. The code includes the image hosted on our servers and a link back to HeavyDutyJournal.com.
Add the embed code to your website's HTML — footer, sidebar, about page, or anywhere you showcase credentials. Most website builders (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace) have an HTML or embed block for this.
By default, the embed code links to this page. Point it directly to your published article or author page on HeavyDutyJournal.com instead for a more personalized experience — and update the title attribute to say "Contributor to" or "As Featured In," whichever applies to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a cost to use the logo?
No. The logo library is a free resource for anyone who has been published on or featured in Heavy Duty Journal, or who wants to link to us. The only requirement is that the embed links back to HeavyDutyJournal.com.
Can I customize the link URL?
Yes. By default, the embed code links to this page. You're welcome to change the link URL to point to your specific article or author archive page on HeavyDutyJournal.com. We ask that the link always points to a page on heavydutyjournal.com.
Do I need permission to use the logo?
If you've published a guest article on HDJ or have been featured in our content, you already have permission. No additional approval is needed — just grab the embed code and add it to your site.
Which logo variant should I use?
Whichever fits your layout and background. Use the Horizontal or Large version for headers and wide banners, the Vertical version for narrow sidebars, a Rounded or Round version for compact icon-style spaces, and the Dark Background version if your site uses a dark theme.
I'm a contributor, not a featured company — which one do I use?
Use the Contributor logo in the "For Contributors" section above. If you'd prefer a different look, any logo from the general Logo Library works just as well — simply set the embed's title attribute to "Contributor to Heavy Duty Journal" and link it to your author page or article.
Will the logo image be hosted on your servers?
Yes. All logo images are hosted on HeavyDutyJournal.com's servers. This means you don't need to download or host the image yourself, and if we update a logo file, your embedded version will update automatically.
