Labels
Edit a label using Catalog > Labels. Choose the label you want to edit and click the edit button (or double click on the row). The following form will appear.
Each label in your account has presets and defaults available which you can change. This gives you the ability to fine-tune the settings that are pre-filled into various forms such as the Soundcloud posting form or the Youtube posting form.

These preset message are used in the Demo Manager (incoming files). For example, when someone sends you a file, you will have the ability to approve or reject the demo and a message will be dispatched to them. You have the ability to set 1 approval message and 2 variations of the reject message. Before the message is sent, you will have the chance to edit the message. These settings control what is automatically filled in the send form.
Message Presets
Set the default start time and default clip length and this will be used to pre-fill the encoder job when you launch the Youtube Upload form and the Soundcloud Upload form or the Transcoder form. These settings are also used anytime you upload a new track.

TIPS
Your bright logo does not have to be white. It can be any color as long as it is clearly visible on a dark background.
Conversely, your dark logo does not have to be black. It just has to be clearly visible on a bright background.
Minimal transparent gradients and shadows are ok, and can enhance how your logo looks on a wider array of backgrounds.
Also note, The example in the above screenshot is from Photoshop which is why you see the checkered pattern. Your image should have a transparent background.
PNG format required.
