24. Navigation – Define top
navigation in the hub site
that is inherited by
associated sites.
Theme – Define the look
and feel of the hub site,
and that theme remains
consistent across
associated sites.
Logo – A logo on a site is
like the green sticker on
a map that says, “You are
here.” It’s an important
identifier of the site you
are visiting, and the
information and people
the site represents. A
consistent logo defined
by the hub site and used
by associated sites says,
“You are here, and you
have not left.”
