In the modern era of remote work, internal brand awareness plays a key role in the understanding and recognition of a brand within an organization, among its employees, partners, and stakeholders.

With more and more employees working from home, it is important to brand the daily used applications to help them remember the values, mission, and goals of the company.

Organizations using Microsoft 365 and SharePoint, can easily customize the default Microsoft login pages with the colors, images and logos from the organization.

3. Once in the active directory look for the Company branding in the vertical menu and click on it
4. In the Getting Started section click in Customize
   

In the customization area you will find a few different options divided in 5 sections:

Section	Description
Basics	Customize the default sign-in experience to personalize the sign-in page for anyone signing-in to your tenant.
