How to specify the image to appear for each manufacturer.
The manufacturer logo is the image that many companies want to appear wherever their products are shown in print or on the web. Many times this is a contractual requirement.
Manufacturers (suppliers) often require that their distributors publish their logo in all catalogs and other promotional materials.
Yes, a brand logo serves exactly the same purpose as a manufacturer logo. Many manufacturers sell their products under different brands. They want the appropriate brand logo to appear with the product information in their catalogs and other promotional materials.
In the Ironwood style (dynamic layout and the most commonly used), the manufacturer logo appears just above the product name. The manufacturer logo is not yet supported in the Linden (grid-based) layout, except for custom Linden implementations. If you are using a custom layout, the manufacturer logo can appear wherever you like.
Yes, we can handle almost any custom layout requirements with Plug-Ins. Please contact us to discuss your specific publishing needs.
We recommend that you make your logos no larger than 225px wide and 150px tall. Smaller logos are fine, but we recommend that they are at least 75px in one dimension.

We recommend that you make your logo no wider than 225px wide and 150px tall. Smaller logos are fine, but we recommend that they are at least 75px in one dimension.
