Sun Clock 7 is available to corporate clients as a branded version or as a bespoke customization.
The branded version is like the world map page of the single-user personal edition but the lower-centre area beneath the world map is occupied by the client's title panel, typically displaying a corporate logo and any kind of strap-line that the client wishes to include. The background colour used in the title panel then becomes the background colour used in the rest of Sun Clock in order to enhance the corporate look and feel. When the user clicks on the title panel they can be directed to the client's web site.
As an alternative, where you are more interested in the world map than in displaying a large corporate logo, the Sun Clock can be configured so that the world map almost fills a wide-format screen. The remaining narrow strip at the bottom can be in a corporate colour and can display a shallow logo and strap-line, as well as the digital time and the date at your location. Where you intend to use Sun Clock as a wall display, option 2 can be a good option.
A third alternative is a "white" display where the snow and ice of the Arctic and Antarctic bleed off the edge of the image. The white display can be particularly effective when used with the clouds layer. During the northern summer the lower edge, over the Antarctic, is permanently in shadow, creating a gray background. In the northern winter the shadow is reversed and the bottom edge is white, as in the illustration. To use this option you need a logo image that can work equally well on either a white or gray background.
The personal edition of Sun Clock comes preloaded with a set of locations to display on the world map. In the branded versions the client can specify this default set of locations, typically showing the locations of the company's principal offices around the globe.
In order to prepare your branded Corporate Sun Clock we will need:
A licence for a branded corporate Sun Clock entitles you to distribute the program freely to clients and staff for their personal use and to use it as you like on your premises. It may not be resold. Note that if your clients want to display the Sun Clock in reception lobbies, board rooms and the like then they would need their own corporate licence from us.

All you need to do
In order to prepare your branded Corporate Sun Clock we will need:
-
A bitmap containing the title panel. This file contains your logo, name, slogan or other image you wish to display. A good size for the bitmap is 1150 x 335 pixels. The bitmap does not have to be exactly this size, but it should be in approximately these proportions. The file should be supplied as a BMP or JPG file. The background colour of the title panel will be used as the background colour for the whole Sun Clock.

-
The above title panel is optimized for a wide-format screen. If you are likely to also be displaying the Sun Clock on regular non-wide-screen displays then you should also provide a second bitmap approximately 560 x 325 pixels.

- If you wish users clicking on the title panel to be taken to a web page, we will need the relevant URL.
- You are welcome to use the default set of cities that comes with Sun Clock. If you prefer to select your own locations for the initial display, we will need a list of these, preferably with their latitudes and longitudes.
