Custom badges

By default, a new GitHub App will have an automatically generated identicon. An identicon badge looks something like this:

An identicon, which consists of white pixels in a random pattern on a circular yellow background.

After you create a GitHub App, you can customize your app's badge by uploading a logo and selecting a background color. A badge is a square logo image inside of a circular badge. You can choose a background color for the badge, which can visually distinguish your app.

Your logo should be a PNG, JPG, or GIF file under 1 MB in size. For the best quality rendering, we recommend an image size of at least 200px x 200px. {% ifversion fpt or ghec %}See "AUTOTITLE" for more guidance on customizing badges.{% endif %}

You can change a custom badge for a GitHub App that already has an approved Marketplace listing by navigating to https://github.com/marketplace/manage.
