Adding your company’s logo or brand to the title page of an product description, general terms and conditions or news announcement makes it look more professional. This quick post shows an easy way how to do this using Latex.
We define a simple fancy header for the title page, adding the logo to the right-hand side of the header:
\fancyhead[L]{} \fancyhead[R]{ \includegraphics[width=4cm]{company-logo.pdf} } \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
Next, we set the page style of the article to be plain:
\pagestyle{plain}
Finally, we add the title and set the page style of the title page to fancy:
\thispagestyle{fancy}
Complete code example:
\documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{fancyhdr, graphicx} \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt} \fancyhead[L]{} \fancyhead[R]{ \includegraphics[width=4cm]{company-logo.pdf} } \pagestyle{plain} \title{\flushleft{My Product Description}} \date{} \begin{document} \maketitle \thispagestyle{fancy} \section{Overview} ... \end{document}

Just what I needed. Finally my institute will have a LaTeX template instead of Word only. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip. However I would like the same thing using the report class. Is it possible?

Hi Pedro!
Everything is possible :-).
For reports, it’s a different story however. Please refer to this wikibook entry on how to create title pages in Latex.
Cheers, Tom.
