Social Media Branding Guide - Logo Image Dimensions (InfoGraphic)

If you are at all using Social Media (which you should because there is such a thing called Social Traffic) to promote a business, a non-profit, a blog, a book, a product, yourself etc you should be considering some sort of Social Media branding.

Visual Branding which consists of uploading images (banners, logos, icons, backgrounds, etc) and this post includes an infographic which can help you with the ideal image specifications that each major Social Media Network (Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn and Youtube) requires you to have in order to upload your photos so that they look good with ideal resolution and pretty much that the whole image fits or does not look too small with too much blank space.

The Social Media Spec Guide an Infographic


You may not be surprised to find out that each of these platforms has their own graphic specifications. But you may be surprised at how many specifications there actually are. When I first started creating social media images, I had to look up the specs online using multiple sources. Occasionally, I still look up specs when my memory fails me (getting old is a B). It can be a hassle, considering, there isn’t just one source that has all the specs I need.

After months of fighting through, finally found a Social Media Branding Guide for myself and to share with others who have suffered my same fate. If you've struggled to get this information in writing or have not enough tried to change default backgrounds, themes, logos, etc for your business then today's freebie is for you my friend!

Remember that by using Social Media Branding and customizing the graphics on the social media networks you use you install an image, a rapport, an idea in somebody's mind that you are professional, you are trustworthy, and they will remember you for it.

Note: If you are not very good with Photoshop, Illustrator or graphic design in general you can always outsource the work and focus on the larger picture. Sites like Fiverr, Elance, and more you can find these kind of talented individuals to help you with stuff that you are not proficient with. Click More to see the InfoGraphic !
