Logo carousel widget
Client logos, sponsors, partners, press mentions, the integrations you support. Build it once, paste one line into your site, and change it later without touching the page again.
The logos in these examples are well known marks shown as samples, so the widget is demonstrated at a realistic size. They are not customers of DreamWidget and imply no endorsement.
The problem it solves
They arrive at different sizes, some with padding baked in, some black, some full colour, one of them a JPEG with a white box around it. Dropped straight onto a page they look like a spreadsheet.
Recolour every transparent logo to a single shade so the row reads as one thing. Or leave the artwork alone. Either way you can override a single logo on its own, and give it a different colour when someone hovers it.
A logo saved with a wide transparent margin draws small next to everything else, because the file is measured, not the mark. One button finds where the artwork actually is and sizes the logo by that instead. It is reversible.
Set every logo to the same width so a wordmark and a square icon sit together properly, then resize the one that still looks wrong without breaking the rule for the rest.
Four ways to show them
A strip that never stops, fading at both edges so it reads as endless. The safe choice, and the one most people mean by a logo carousel.
Steps one logo at a time, grows the one in the middle, loops both ways so the arrows never grey out. Good when each logo is worth a look on its own.
Several rows on a curve, travelling opposite ways. Turns a long list into something worth looking at, and the spacing between rows stays even the whole way along.
No movement. Even columns, one footprint per logo. For press pages and directories where motion would be a nuisance.
Mobile
Twelve logos across a monitor becomes a smear on a phone. Every setting has its own value per screen size: how big the logos are, how far apart, how fast it moves, how many rows. You set them while previewing at that size, not by guessing.
The preview is shown at the real pixel width of the device, so a 390px phone preview is life size rather than a squeezed approximation.
Speed
Nothing is installed on your site. No jQuery, no stylesheet, no database table, nothing to keep updated and nothing that can conflict with your theme. The widget loads in its own frame after your page, from a CDN, so it cannot hold up your content.
On WordPress in particular this is the main difference from the plugins that do the same job.
Questions
Build it in the editor, then paste one iframe tag into any page. It works on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Shopify, GoDaddy and plain HTML. The embed points at the widget rather than carrying a copy, so editing it later updates every site showing it.
It loads in its own frame, after your page, from a CDN rather than your server. It cannot block your page from rendering and adds no files to your site.
No, on any plan including the free one. Most widget services meter impressions and stop showing your widget past a monthly allowance. We serve from a CDN where views cost us nothing, so we do not count them.
Colours, sizes, spacing, hover effects and headings are all controls. Pro adds your own CSS and JavaScript for anything the controls do not reach.
SVG and PNG are ideal because they carry transparency, which is what lets a logo be recoloured. JPEG works but cannot be recoloured, since it has no transparency to mask, and the editor tells you when a file you upload is in that position.
Up to 30 in one widget. The free plan shows 3 at a time, and you can upload as many as you like and switch between them.
