This is a very important part of the logo design process because a bad profile photo can affect people’s perceptions of your brand. This is part of a series I am writing to help your business define the best branding choices for success. If you are interested in learning about the best colour to use in your logo please look at this article.

The perfect logo size for social media

In order to ensure that your logo looks clean and crisp when used for social media please follow the guidelines below.

Facebook Profile Image Size

In 2019 the ideal Facebook profile photo size for your business page is 360px * 360px. This logo will be scaled down and displayed as 180px * 180px by Facebook. Facebook now shows a circular profile photo so make sure that your logo does not get cropped by this effect.

I found Marianna to be creative, enthusiastic and a truly dedicated Professional. I learned very quickly that she is extremely knowledgeable in her field and imparts that knowledge and expertise with ease and clarity. When it came to designing my Website, I was completely clueless as to what I wanted and more importantly, what I needed. Marianna really assisted here and thoroughly advised me through the process, thereby putting me totally at ease. I was so happy with the end result. It's such an important job, designing your Website but from the get-go, I just found I could fully put my trust in her. I would highly recommend Marianna.
