Image guidelines

Images must be square, with a minimum of 150 x 150 pixels, and less than 1 MB in size. We recommend that you use a transparent background rather than a solid one and include just one colour in the image. This will mean that the image is less distracting, especially on small screens.



Branding watermark metrics
