You can customize your Azure AD sign-in pages, which appear when users sign in to your organization's tenant-specific apps, such as , or when passing a domain variable, such as .
Your custom branding won't immediately appear when your users go to sites such as, www.office.com. Instead, the user has to sign-in before your customized branding appears. After the user has signed in, the branding may take 15 minutes or longer to appear.
Note
All branding elements are optional. For example, if you specify a banner logo with no background image, the sign-in page will show your logo with a default background image from the destination site (for example, Office 365).
Additionally, sign-in page branding doesn’t carry over to personal Microsoft accounts. If your users or business guests sign in using a personal Microsoft account, the sign-in page won't reflect the branding of your organization.

To customize you branding

-
Select Azure Active Directory, and then select Company branding, and then select Configure.
-
On the Configure company branding page, provide any or all of the following information.
Important
All the custom images you add on this page have image size (pixels), and potentially file size (KB), restrictions. Because of these restrictions, you'll most-likely need to use a photo editor to create the right-sized images.
-
General settings
-
Language. The language is automatically set as your default and can't be changed.
-
Sign-in page background image. Select a .png or .jpg image file to appear as the background for your sign-in pages.
The image can't be larger than 1920x1080 pixels in size and must have a file size of less than 300 KB.
-
Banner logo. Select a .png or .jpg version of your logo to appear on the sign-in page after the user enters a username and on the My Apps portal page.
The image can't be taller than 60 pixels or wider than 280 pixels. We recommend using a transparent image since the background might not match your logo background. We also recommend not adding padding around the image or it might make your logo look small.
-
Username hint. Type the hint text that appears to users if they forget their username. This text must be Unicode, without links or code, and can't exceed 64 characters. If guests sign in to your app, we suggest not adding this hint.
-
Sign-in page text. Type the text that appears on the bottom of the sign-in page. You can use this text to communicate additional information, such as the phone number to your help desk or a legal statement. This text must be Unicode and not exceed 256 characters. We also suggest not including links or HTML tags.

-
Advanced settings
-
Sign-in page background color. Specify the hexadecimal color (for example, white is #FFFFFF) that will appear in place of your background image in low-bandwidth connection situations. We recommend using the primary color of your banner logo or your organization color.
-
Square logo image. Select a .png (preferred) or .jpg image of your organization’s logo to appear to users during the setup process for new Windows 10 Enterprise devices. This image is only used for Windows authentication and appears only on tenants that are using Windows Autopilot for deployment or for password entry pages in other Windows 10 experiences. In some cases it may also appear in the consent dialog.
The image can’t be larger than 240x240 pixels in size and must have a file size of less than 10 KB. We recommend using a transparent image since the background might not match your logo background. We also recommend not adding padding around the image or it might make your logo look small.
-
Square logo image, dark theme. Same as the square logo image above. This logo image takes the place of the square logo image when used with a dark background, such as with Windows 10 Azure AD joined screens during the out-of-box experience (OOBE). If your logo looks good on white, dark blue, and black backgrounds, you don’t need to add this image.
