Are you an organization that brands your corporate intranet ? If so, how far do you go :
- Customer logo and theme ?
- Full on new master pages, new CSS – you can barely tell it’s SharePoint ?
Really interested to know peoples thoughts. I can see the benefit for branding external facing, but internal is it worth the cost and effort (and potential upgrade issues) ?
Hey I totally understand the cost impact, although most places I have worked have had In house skill to get what they want from design to implementation.
On branding 3rd Party tools, I spent a few days branding NewsGator for 2010 which was a bit of a pain in itself but also that backups need to be taken etc before any NewsGator updates are applied.
Microsoft Whilst tell you not to customize SharePoint 2013 in the way of application and major gui changes still encourage custom themes and its also alot easier now too.
