Partly. A Notion form lets you set a cover image, an icon, a title and description, the wording of each question, the submit button’s color and text, and the thank-you message. Notion’s own help article doesn’t document themes, fonts, background colors or layout options, so the overall look stays Notion’s.
For an internal request form that’s plenty. For a client-facing form, only the header and the submit screen carry your brand.
What you can change
Everything below comes from Notion’s help center article on forms.
| Part of the form | What you can do | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Header | Add a Form icon and a Form cover | Hover over the form title |
| Title and intro | A title and an optional description | Top of the form builder |
| Question text | Reword a question so it differs from the property name | Turn off “Sync with property name” |
| Question help | Add a description under each question | The question itself |
| Choice questions | Show options as a list or a dropdown | ••• menu on the question |
| Text questions | Switch to a long answer | ••• menu |
| Submit button | Change its color and text | Form settings > Submit screen |
| Thank-you screen | Confirmation title and confirmation body | Form settings > Submit screen |
| Notion logo | Turn it off for public forms | Sharing menu, paid plans only |
Use Preview to see the form the way respondents will before you share it.
What Notion doesn’t document
The forms article says nothing about themes, fonts, page background colors, custom CSS, or layout controls such as columns. It also doesn’t cover multi-page forms. Treat all of that as unavailable until Notion says otherwise. Don’t go hunting through menus for it.
Notion also says creating and customizing forms “can’t currently be done on a mobile device.” Do your design work on a laptop.
Getting the cover and icon right
Icons work the same on forms as on pages. Thomas Frank’s guide to Notion icons and cover images says you can pick an emoji, one of Notion’s design icons in a range of colors, or upload a custom image. For an uploaded logo he gives the ideal size as 256×256.
Covers are wide, horizontal images: one of Notion’s pre-selected images, your own upload, or a pick from Unsplash. Frank says images wider than 1500 pixels work best. A blurry cover is the first thing a respondent sees.
A real example: a branded feedback form
Say a small agency sends clients a Notion feedback form after each project. With only Notion’s settings, they can:
- Upload the agency logo as the Form icon, cropped square.
- Add a cover that’s a wide brand graphic, more than 1500 pixels across.
- Title the form “How did we do on your project?” and add a one-line description.
- Turn off “Sync with property name” so the database property “NPS” shows up to clients as “How likely are you to recommend us?”
- Set the submit button to the agency’s brand color and change its text to “Send feedback”.
- Write a confirmation title and body that thanks the client by project type.
- If they’re on a paid plan, switch off the Notion logo before sharing.
The top and bottom are now clearly theirs. The question fields in between still look like Notion. For a ready set of questions, see our feedback survey template.
Step 4 is the one people miss. Database property names are often short and internal (“NPS”, “Budget_USD”), and showing them to clients makes a form look unfinished.
Design choices that are really logic choices
Showing a follow-up question only when someone picks “Other” changes how long and cluttered a form looks. Notion supports that with conditional logic, but only on Business and Enterprise plans. We go through it in Notion forms conditional logic.
Marking a question Required means respondents can’t skip it. Save it for the two or three answers you can’t do without.
My take, and the limitation
If the form stays inside your team, stop at a clear title and clear question wording. Nobody on your team cares what color the button is. Spend time on the cover, icon and submit screen only for forms that go to clients or the public.
The limitation: Notion’s built-in forms give you a branded header and footer, never a branded form. There are no documented themes, fonts or background colors, and removing the Notion logo needs a paid Notion plan. We list the other gaps in the limitations of Notion forms.
To brand the whole form, use a form builder that writes to Notion. nDBForms has a visual builder with custom colors, logos, fonts and themes, a customizable success screen, and layout blocks like headings, images, video, dividers and page breaks. Each response still lands as a new page in your Notion database. Branding removal, conditional logic and multi-page forms are on Pro (from a $12/month founding price), and the Free plan keeps nDBForms branding, so it has its own version of the logo trade-off. You can start from one of the form templates.
Once it looks right, here’s how to share a Notion form publicly.
FAQ

Only the submit button. Notion’s help center lists the submit button’s color and text under Form settings > Submit screen. It doesn’t document background or theme colors.
Can I add a logo to a Notion form?
You can add a Form icon, which can be an uploaded image such as your logo, and a Form cover. Hover over the form title to add either one.
Can I change the font of a Notion form?
Notion’s forms help article doesn’t mention font options for forms, so plan on the default look.
Can I remove the Notion logo from my form?
Yes, on a paid Notion plan, for forms shared with anyone on the web. There’s a Notion branding toggle in the sharing menu.
Can I customize a Notion form on my phone?
No. Notion says creating and customizing forms can’t currently be done on a mobile device.
