Instead of stuffing your cover photo full of logos, text and images - sometimes it's best just to put your name on it. Their photo is simple, yet informative - while not overdoing it. The Soup from Comedy Central is a great example of that.

I'm finding that TV shows in general are doing a great job using their cover photo to add branding to their pages. Trulia - a real estate related company that helps connect buyers and sellers - does a great job of conveying that their app is fully tech focused. Some companies overdo it when it comes to their cover photo. The company is geared towards parents - so by using these images of kids having fun, it conveys their message - and just makes you happy.
I love what Red Tricycle has done with their cover. Instead of a clunky logo or some text, they just showcase the current hosts of their morning show.
Hearsay does a great job of this in their cover.Īnother great example of using a cover photo to show a personal side is the Today Show. It helps people connect to your company in a personal way - which is the whole point of being social. One of the best things to do with your cover photo is show off your staff. This is a great way to show off Amy's personality - while still remaining professional. I love her cover photo because it's very simple, but it has some playfullness to it. She's managed social media for the likes of Tony Robbins and several other high profile companies. If you don't know Amy you should follow her ASAP. The photo makes its' point without using tons of unnecessary text - just like Oreo. The super high quality image shows a texture and their logo - and that's it. Social Fresh's cover photo is another great example of a page keeping it simple. They didn't overdo it - and they displayed their product without a lot of unneeded fuss.
Very impactful and full of meaning and emotion. The cover for Oreo is perhaps one of the simplest, yet greatest cover photo I've seen. Lots of guidelines to follow - and let me tell you, soooo many are breaking these rules.īut there are many who are obeying them as well - and I wanted to show off a few of these awesome Facebook Cover photos below.
