Adding a logo to your spin wheel — when, why, and how

Most online spin wheels look generic — a coloured circle, a SPIN label in the middle, and that's it. For a quick decision among friends, that's fine. For a company giveaway, a livestream prize draw, or a school activity, the visual signal matters: a generic spinner says 'this is a free tool from the internet', whereas a branded spinner says 'this is our giveaway, run by us, and we mean it'.

SpinOfLuck lets you drop a logo into the centre hub of any wheel. The image gets clipped to a circle, stays in place while the wheel spins around it, and looks like part of the design instead of a watermark stuck on top.

When a branded wheel is worth the 30 seconds

• Conference booth giveaways — you want attendees to associate the prize moment with your brand, not with a tool you borrowed.
• Livestream prize wheels — viewers who clip the spin to social media also clip your channel logo. Free promotion alongside the giveaway.
• Classroom name pickers — school crest in the centre is a small detail kids notice, and the wheel becomes 'our wheel' rather than 'a website Mr. Smith opened'.
• Marketing campaign draws — credibility matters when running a public draw. A branded wheel signals the draw was prepared, not improvised.
• Internal HR raffles — holiday-party draws, employee-recognition spins, team-of-the-month rotations. Company logo plus the wheel feels official.

Image format and design tips

Any image format your browser can decode works — PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, SVG. A few specifics matter for the result to look polished:

• Prefer transparent PNG or SVG. The hub already has its own white circular frame; a transparent background lets your logo sit inside it cleanly instead of fighting it with an opaque rectangle.
• Keep it simple. The hub is small relative to the full wheel — about 18% of the diameter. Intricate logos with small text become unreadable. A monogram or icon-only mark works far better than a full wordmark.
• Match the wheel theme. Dark logos disappear into the Neon or Dark themes; light logos vanish on the Minimal theme. Use the higher-contrast variant of your brand.
• Square or near-square works best. Tall or wide logos still display — they're cover-fit, so they don't squash — but the longer edge gets cropped to keep the circular fit.

The 30-second setup

1. Open the Colors tab in the sidebar.
2. Click 'Upload' at the top — the file picker opens.
3. Pick your logo file. The image gets auto-resized to ≤256×256, you'll see it appear in the wheel's centre immediately.
4. Click 'Replace' to swap, 'Remove' to revert to the SPIN label.

That's it. The logo is per-wheel — different saved wheels can carry different brands. Switch between them with the wheel dropdown in the toolbar.

What about sharing?

The Share URL feature (the 🔗 icon in the toolbar) deliberately does NOT include the logo. Share URLs are designed to stay short; bundling a 256×256 PNG would balloon them past anything useful for copy-paste into a chat. The logo stays on your local device.

To move a branded wheel to another browser or computer, use the JSON export instead. Click the ⬇ icon in the toolbar; the resulting JSON file includes the logo + entries + colours. Open the same wheel on another device, hit ⬆ to import, and the brand comes with it.

Privacy

The logo lives only in your browser's localStorage. We never upload it. It's not shared with us, with analytics, or with anything else — just your browser's local storage on your device. Clear browser data and it's gone.
