Many of you ask us how to change the small logo that appears at the top right of Mailrelay accounts, and the answer is: with Gravatar.
In this short tutorial, I’ll show you how to do it.
That way you can customize Mailrelay, your email marketing tool, so it shows your logo.
IMPORTANT: for this to work, you need to sign up for Gravatar with the same email you used to sign up for Mailrelay.
What is Gravatar?
Gravatar is a web service that lets you upload a picture of yourself, or your logo, so that other services can use it.
It’s usually used to show this picture when you comment on blogs and things like that
But it has other uses too.
How do you create a Gravatar?
Honestly, it’s very easy. Just go to this URL:
And you’ll see a “sign up” button at the top:
From there, follow the steps shown on screen.
You’ll receive an email asking you to confirm the account creation.
IMPORTANT: Gravatar and WordPress.com accounts are linked, so don’t worry if you’re told a WordPress.com account has been created for you.
Either way, when you click the link in the email to activate the account, you’ll be taken to a screen like this one:
Click “Sign in to Gravatar“.
That will take you to the tab where you manage your different Gravatars.
Add a new Gravatar to your account
If we’ve just created the account, we won’t have uploaded any images yet, and we’ll most likely see this screen:
We need to click “Add one by clicking here!“.
And then “Upload new“:
From there, just follow the steps to upload the image.
There will be several steps, including one to crop the image so it looks as good as possible.
You’ll also have to add a rating for the image:
This rating shows whether or not the image is suitable for all audiences.
And that’s it:

This is how it will look:
Actually, there’s nothing else you need to do.
I mentioned earlier that this would help you customize your Mailrelay account. But you don’t need to do anything else: if you created your Gravatar account with the same email as your Mailrelay account, you’ll see this image here:
