The Brand controls the look and feel of the Applicant Portal, Job Directory and Application Form of an Opening. Fountain supports multiple Brands with each having its own Brand name, logo, and Brand color. The Brand is applied to the Location level of the Opening, which allows you to apply the branded visual to multiple Openings that are in this Location at once.

   Modern DesignDefault Design

      Don't Have a Square Logo

      If your company does not have a square logo you can leave this section blank. Fountain will take your regular logo and shrink it down to fit into a square. This will be used on the job directory and application forms.

   • This design uses HTML and CSS customization for the page.

Color Contrast and Accessibility

Within the Brand Editor, if the brand color that you’ve selected does not meet the accessibility contrast minimum, you will see a warning message alerting you that the color is not accessible. 

Why is Color Contrast Important?

Color contrast refers to the level of contrast between the text and the background on a website. If contrast is low, then the text can be hard or almost impossible to read. Higher contrast means that the text is easier to read.

Fountain will review for a background color with a high enough contrast to allow all individuals to easily view the colors in the application. This includes applicants with various kinds of color blindness.
