# Examples of how to modify the banner

There are various ways that you can modify the banner on your instances.

**Note:** From the San Diego release on, configure banner announcements instead of updating **glide.product.description**. For more information, see [Configure Next Experience banner announcements](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-user-interface/next-experience-banner-announcements.md).

## Label multiple instances differently

-   On all instances, leave **glide.product.description** <blank>
-   On PROD instance, set **glide.product.name** to <My Company>
-   On DEV instance, set **glide.product.name** to <My Company - DEV>

## Control the window title

Since the window title is composed of **glide.product.name** and **glide.product.description**, the following gives you complete control over the banner and the window title.

-   **glide.product.name** set to <Window Title that you want>
-   **glide.product.name.style** set to <display: none>
-   **glide.product.description** set to <blank>

The company record **Banner Image** and **Banner Text** are used to set the banner image and text since the company banner text is not used in the window title.

## Use HTML in the banner text

-   **glide.product.name** set to <My Company>
-   **glide.product.name.style** set to <display: none>
-   **glide.product.description** set to <Some text <a href="some\_url">Click here</a>>

## Position banner text over the banner image

-   **glide.product.name** set to <My Company>
-   **glide.product.name.style** set to <display: none>
-   **glide.product.image** set to <your company logo.gif>
-   **glide.product.description** set to <Some text for the description>
-   **glide.product.description.style** set to <position:absolute; top:5px; left:100px> \(position values may vary based on specified needs\)

## Apply a background image to the banner

Often corporate guidelines require more in-depth branding of the ServiceNow interface. Using the tiling technique, you can modify your logo image to have a transparent background, so that you can apply another image to the banner beneath the logo.

Upload an image to the image manager and then create a new property named **css.banner.background.image**, so that you can call the image. The value should look like this.

**css.banner.background.image** value url\('./images/MasterBG.jpgx'\)

## Write CSS rules that apply this change

```
/** BACKGROUND - These properties allow you use to add a background tile to the header of the instance  ***************************/
TD.bannerLeft,TD.bannerCenter,TD.bannerRight, TR#banner_row{background-color: ${banner.background.color};
background-image: ${banner.background.image};
background-position: ${banner.background.position};
background-repeat: ${banner.background.repeat};}
```

**Note:** The banner image and banner text associated with the primary company or specific companies may be used instead of the **glide.product.image** and **glide.product.description** properties to get the same effect.
