By default, all story maps include an Esri logo, with a link to the Esri website, located somewhere in the header or opening section. Also by default the text string "A story map" is included in the header, with a link to the Story Maps website. A good practice, especially if you are authoring story maps that represent your organization, is to replace the Esri default logo, text, and links with a logo and links of your own.

Here's a nice Story Map Tour from the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

 

If you take a closer look at the header, you'll see a custom logo, tagline, and links have been added.

The logo links to a web site, but what I really like is that the string "A Kentucky story map" links to a gallery of other story maps, created using a group gallery app. Here's the gallery:

This is a good way to let user know about more story maps they might be interested in, from any other story map.
