how can i modify footer on Dawn theme website

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Goal: Replicate a “big-brand” style footer in Shopify’s Dawn theme, including original-color social media icons, a newsletter signup, and the website name.

What’s been shared:

  • Images of the desired footer and a reference site URL (redmolotov.com). No store URL/password for the requester’s own shop yet.
  • Guidance provided on how to customize Dawn via Theme Editor (add footer menus, social icons, custom content, newsletter) and, for deeper changes, edit footer.liquid (Dawn is Shopify’s default theme).

Key guidance/outcomes so far:

  • The desired structure (menus, social icons, newsletter) is achievable with Dawn’s default features.
  • Matching the exact style/look will require custom coding (CSS/SVG edits in theme files).

Latest update / open requests:

  • The requester asks for code to display “original color” social media icons and to add the site name in the footer.
  • No code snippets have been provided yet, and the requester’s store URL/password (if applicable) have not been shared, which may be needed for a tailored solution.

Status: Ongoing. Next steps likely include sharing the store URL and providing specific code/CSS for colored icons and site-name placement. Images and the reference URL are central to the request.
