Putting a logo on the front page of the original thesisdown

[Sicily-F]

Hi there,

I saw this old issue from a few years ago, and wondered if anyone had figured out how to do this?

I would love to change also the front page, in order to be able to put some university logo. Could you share with me also if you find one solution? Many thanks @KasperSkytte

Hi

I just used a plain text front page, I didn't have a nice picture to use anyways. See https://github.com/KasperSkytte/MasterThesis/blob/master/thesis.pdf

The code to produce the report is not included in the repo, but I should be able to dig it up somewhere if you need.

that would be amazing, if it's not too much trouble, to see how you specified it to link with thesisdown

Sorry - can I just verify, did you use thesisdown, even with the plain text page on the front?

As mentioned here https://github.com/ismayc/thesisdown/issues/17#issuecomment-294482077 I simply adjusted those lines in the reedthesis.cls file to this:

\renewcommand{\maketitle}{%
  {\pagestyle{empty}
  \fontsize{12}{14}\selectfont
  \begin{titlepage}
  \newpage
  \setcounter{page}{1}
    \begin{center}

  \par
  \end{titlepage}

  }
}
