Tri Ryuzaki
Please add option which allow us to use our logo for loading icon instead of the current pumping heart which is not good for branding.

I was hoping that this would have been addressed as part of the Mobile App Re-Design going live today. (7.2.2024)
Team Adhvaitha
Yes please!

I don't mind the branding per say (although i prefer white label)
But I don't think the pumping heart logo is beautiful, and it doesn't fit for everybody, depending on their community styles for sure.
I would prefer my own logo/image
And if branding here is necessary, then maybe it can be a text with icon at the bottom (with automatic affiliate link of course)

Has this request been acknowledged by the Heartbeat Team yet?
Even if we cannot swap out the 'Heart' loading icon for our own logo/icon, it would be great, for starters, if we could choose between the 'Heart' and say, a more 'neutral' animated icon, like a spinning tire (with smoke) or a rocket, etc. Also, there is a similar (albeit different) "Feature Request" over here - https://heartbeat.canny.io/feature-requests/p/alternative-mobile-app-icon

I just would like the app icon not to look like a dating app on my phone : )

Has anyone from Heartbeat commented on this request yet?

Probably one of the highest voted request. All the other updates yall continue to hit us with is kool but once there's word out about being able to customize with our own brand instead of the heart... OMG that will be that day!!!

Kevn Elib: You mean like Mighty Networks? Or Hivebrite? Movement? Podia? I know there are at least 5 or 6 others I’m not thinking of. Quite a few in Europe. You can customize the branding in all these, but there are software issues.
In my experience Heartbeat both solved, and improved their issues.
Personally, if the branding of the software is causing such a massive issue and stopping someone from utilizing it and growing their community… I would recommend finding a different brand to work with.
Because it seems a waste to keep the software, if a heart causes such a kurfuffle and prevents you from using all the amazing elements they have built in.
Besides, with Apple and Google app regulations it could be an entire year before either are adjusted, especially because the software is a database with an app element like Notion with some up-leveled services…not individual apps for each user.

White labeling would cause HUGE functionality issues. It works this well because "Heartbeat" IS the app, and we utilize the app. However!
I think having different pre-designed icon options would be helpful and allow businesses to stay closer to their brand.
• The Original heart
• A brush of colors with an H
• Black/White H
• Different color hearts
• Different pattern options
etc.
OR! Allowing a custom icon for that business within the software of a few (like 3 MAX!) combos:
• Choose heart or H
• Choose Icon color
• Choose background
OR! Just two options:
• The traditional one
• A Simple H or HB
Would that be possible? Or would that require App approval for all the combos?

Amanda Jean Marcott: We would also like to see Option #2 or #3.
Option 3 may probably work best for simplicity and ease of management - both is the app stores and in software development.
We really hope the Heartbeat Team is following this thread and can comment or implement a solution for this soon since we really love the tool and what is being built here.

Amanda Jean Marcott: or option 4. give us true whitelabel. no hearts anywhere.
Amanda Jean Marcott
Kevn Elib: I mean, there’s definitely other services that don’t have hearts, they offer approximately half the services Heartbeat does, and they are a much steeper learning curve… But the development nightmare of white labeling everything should be considered. Because it will make the price much more expensive in order to justify it.
Kevn Elib
this is kind of one of those reasons why I never moved my following from discord to this platform. Because the one thing I wish to announce is a better platform for my people with my brand at ever angle. From the emails that's automated when they join a group or purchase a course or new friend request to platform announcements from me. Brand at each angle is important.

Yep - this is an important white-labelling request
Mike Phillips
Garage Gym 411: — Agreed. Most members feel unsure whether to say “meet in heartbeat” generically or “meet in THE GYM” and use my brand name.
