Design Considerations

Logo Overlap

Your Organization logo overlaps the bottom-left area of the cover image. When designing or selecting your cover:

Don't place important content in the bottom-left corner
Ensure good contrast between cover image and logo
Test how they look together before publishing

Mobile Cropping

Cover images display differently on various screen sizes:

Desktop: Full banner visible
Tablet: Slightly cropped on sides
Mobile: More significant cropping

Keep essential elements centered to ensure they're visible on all devices.

Important Notes

Cover image is optional but recommended for visual appeal
Changes trigger a re-review of your listing
Cover images are visible to all visitors
Unlike logos, cover images can include multiple people, locations, or branded graphics
