Hello! I’m currently working on a local hosted project that utilizes 8th Wall for AR functionality. In this web app, we start the project on a simple menu screen with buttons to access settings, game progression info, and then a “scan mode” in which we detect image targets to trigger different minigames / events. As a result, we’re entirely generating an A-Scene when we enter that “scan mode” portion of the app, instead of holding one in the html body on startup. I think this has removed the 8th Wall splash screen from our app, and was wondering about the specific way that is set up to appear. In order to ensure that our app can launch without a fee, we really want to make sure that we’re compliant with the requirements outlined here: [Requirements | 8th Wall](https://www.8thwall.com/docs/quickstart/getting-started/requirements/) If there isn’t a specific way to ensure that we get the default 8th wall splash screen on startup, is it appropriate for us to use the branding to create a copy of the splash for our app’s startup and loading screens? Thank you. ---

I’m having the same issue with my locally hosted project, the splash screen doesn’t come up for me at all. I can only see it in my Studio projects. I’m also wondering how we get it to show in our custom projects.. ---

Hi @Joel_MacFadyen @Beth_Koulyras , The `Default Splash Screen` (see [Requirements | 8th Wall](https://www.8thwall.com/docs/quickstart/getting-started/requirements/#8th-wall-branding)) is something injected by 8th Wall Studio & Editor development environments at build time. For app key projects, you’ll need to display the “powered by 8th Wall” badge on the `Loading Screen`. If for some reason you aren’t using those modules (i.e. `xrextras-loading` with AFrame or `XRExtras.Loading.pipelineModule()` with other frameworks), you’ll need to create your own screen that contains the powered by 8th Wall branding, ensuring that it meets our [Brand Guidelines](https://8th.io/poweredby) ---

Ok thanks @tony. So just to clarify, for `App Key` projects, we do not need to display the 8th wall branded `Splash Screen`? Only the `powered by 8th Wall` logo? Even if we are not purchasing a white label? ---
