Some users would prefer to have their company logo and powered by logo instead of Zoho Projects logo, which is displayed by default in the login page i.e when you try logging-in via your portal URL.

If you are one among the users, who wish to change the logo, go to settings -- company profile -- upload logo section and upload your company logo.

Similarly, go to settings -- company profile -- upload powered by logo section and upload the required powered by logo.



Here's a small note for you. Make sure that the logo, powered by logo you are about to upload is as per the specified dimensions.

Zoho Projects Review: AppAppeal

Dec 23 2009 08:43:37 PM Posted By : Truman

 A centralized place where project documents and contents are stored, updates are posted, everyone exchange ideas and get work done.
  Google Apps, when taken as a whole, provide an online collaboration tool, but they do not have the wealth of features offered by Zoho Projects.
 The Zoho Projects site has a clean and uncluttered look and feel. The site is quite responsive, and page loads and file transfers happen quickly. The various features have the feel of dedicated desktop apps, and are quite responsive. User navigation of the site is accomplished through a convenient top menu bar with tabs. There is no advertising displayed on the Zoho Projects site.
 Zoho Projects is recommended to any group or organization who has need of an online collaboration tool. The service is ideal for groups or organizations which are geographically diverse or which employ a lot of freelance contractors. The wealth of features provided by the service make for a complete project management and collaboration solution.

  23. Sridhar Vembu, Founder and CEO, Zoho
Being an innovator means upsetting the status quo. That's exactly what Sridhar Vembu has done at Zoho, delivering at last count 19 online business applications. It's that applications muscle that is allowing solution providers to move businesses of all sizes to the cloud. The company feeling the most heat from the Zoho online applications offensive is Microsoft. That's because Zoho has even moved to provide plug-ins like a Zoho Plugin for Microsoft Office and Microsoft SharePoint. Zoho has done the same with Google, integrating Zoho Projects with Google Apps. Vembu has even moved to make it easier for customers to run Zoho applications in the data center with a pact with VMware.


CRN unveiled the list of 25 most innovative CEOs of 2009. It is pleasure to know Zoho (Our) CEO Sridhar Vembu one among them. Other notable CEOs who made it to the list where from Skype, Google Apps, Google Wave, Amazon, Nvidia, Brocade.

  Zoho Projects, a Web-based project management application, provides the grown-up with business-oriented tools to ensure   projects are done right from the get-go. 
  The developers at Zoho made sure that its project app was a good tool for the avid social butterfly. 
  it does provide the basics for thorough management of big and small projects alike. 
   What we like: 
   Zoho’s planning functionality helps you anticipate and prevent mishaps with your project.
