Google will render your business logo in a circular shape by default. Keep the following points in mind to optimize your business logo quality:
- Ensure that you follow the logo specifications above to avoid issues with portions of your logo being cut off or obscured when rendered as a circle.
- Sometimes dynamic business logos will serve as a square or with a grey background. If you want to ensure that your logo always serves as a circle, we recommend uploading a version of your logo that’s already formatted as a circle.
