Appropriate roles: All partners interested in learning more about Logo Builder

Note

The Microsoft Partner Network is now called the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program.

You can use Logo Builder at Partner Center to:

  • Create a partner logo (also called a badge) on your sales and marketing materials, and on your business profile in Partner Center. For partners who provide services, logos can showcase your Solutions Partner designation, specialization, or Azure Expert Managed Services Provider (AEMSP) and your Microsoft Action Pack subscription (MAPS). For partners who develop software, often referred to as Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), logos can showcase your Solutions Partner with certified software designation for solution areas or Industry AI.

  • Create a Partner of the Year Award logo to call attention to your status as a winner or finalist.

  • Create a certified letter to prove your Microsoft partnership and credibility if you attained a Solutions Partner designation or earned a specialization or AEMSP.

  • Create a membership certificate for China.

Partner logos, award logos, and certified letters are aligned to your Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program membership. The logos and letters aligned to your membership will be available for you to create, save, and download.

Considerations

  • If your membership is in a renewal window or a grace period, you won't be able to use Logo Builder. After you renew your membership, you can use Logo Builder again.

  • Your Logo Builder profile stores information that you provide about your organization. It is for your information only.

  • When you create a certified letter in Logo Builder, it's valid for 30 days from the creation date. You can create another letter after 30 days.

Storing and selecting your assets:

  • You can use the Logo Builder library to store the logo and letter assets that you create.

    • You can download those assets when you're ready to create sales and marketing materials.
    • Previously created and saved logos are available in your Recently saved library.

      Note

      Any legacy Microsoft Partner Network or silver or gold competency logos will not be available.

    • Select View all to view your entire library.
    • The PartnerID selector enables you to indicate which location you'd like to view or create a logo for if you created different logos for various business locations.

    Note

    It takes 24 hours for a change in your membership, such as new Solutions Partner designation, award, or other attainment, to appear in your membership account. If you don't see the desired logo in your library, make sure that 24 hours have elapsed.
