If you would like to emulate some of the national departments that have their department seal at the top of the left menu system (for example, the IT group at http://itgroup.cgaux.org), you can now do it.

Take your official district, department or flotilla seal -- high quality, of course -- and make it exactly 130x130 pixels.  If your seal is not round, then crop to the widest dimension, resize to 130px along that dimension, and then crop the other dimension to 130px as well. Your background can be white (#FFFFFF) or transparent.  Save it as a JPEG file, with the file extension ".jpg".

Next, rename the file based upon your canonical unit number, except without the dashes.  For example, if your unit is 114-12-04, then rename the file:

1141204_icon.jpg

So, the file name is your canonical unit number without the dashes, with "_icon.jpg" tacked on.  If you name this image anything else, this won't work.

Finally, you need to upload the image to WOW.  Simply enter the configuration dashboard, edit any announcement on any page, and click on the "image upload" icon (the mountain with pencil). Browse to the file wherever you left it on your computer, and upload it.  Do not insert the image into the announcement you have opened! Just cancel out of the image upload dialog, and click on the "Return to Unit Site" button.  If you did everything correctly, the custom icon will appear at the top of the left menu, in place of the AuxWeb icon.
