  You cannot select which pages display your logo. You can add images using the image question type to create this appearance by adding an image to the top of the necessary pages instead of using the logo feature.

Setting a Progress Bar
Select Show Progress Bar to open the progress bar settings options.

The menu options allows you to select where the progress bar will be displayed: either at the top or bottom of survey pages.

Show Pages Complete: displays the page number and the total number of pages in the survey in addition to the progress bar. This example shows how a 4 page survey opens. Page 1 of the survey displays 1/4 and the progress bar indicator, page 2 displays 2/4 and the progress bar indicator increases.

Show Percent Complete: displays the percent of the survey that will be completed once that page is saved and the respondent successfully advances to the next page. For example, if you have a four-page survey, page 1 opens with 25% displayed in the progress bar, the 2nd page 50%, the third page 75%, and the last page displays 100% complete.

 

About the Progress Bar: 

		As explained above, single page surveys display 100% complete when you open the first page of the survey. With a two page survey, the progress bar is going to show 50% on the first page.
		The progress bar appears on all pages of the survey. It is not possible to set specific pages to display the progress bar or to set the progress bar to appear after the introduction of the survey.
		You may change the general appearance of the progress bar under the Theme settings.  With a professional subscription, you can customize the general appearance of the progress bar like the colors and size under the custom theme settings.

To change the theme or overall appearance of the survey, click the [New Theme] button. When the theme editor opens, select the progress bar from the properties menu to edit the progress bar's width, text size, border width, border color, background, text color, or bar color. To save the new theme properties, click the [Save Theme] button.

  Survey/Page Titles

De-select the option to show the survey title or survey page if you do not want them displayed as respondents take the survey.
