LinkedIn

Where the brand meets clients before the first meeting

LinkedIn is where prospects meet the brand before they meet the team. The company page and every team member's profile are the first credibility check. The studio team owns the page; each member owns their profile against these rules.

  • Logo: the avatar variant fills the square company logo; LinkedIn shows it on both light and dark surfaces, so it has to hold on either. Variants: 4.1 Logo.
  • Colour: the cover image and post graphics carry the brand palette: 4.2 Colour.
  • Type: designed post graphics use the brand type roles: 4.3 Typography.

Specs verified against platform documentation: 2026-07-05.

Company page values are LinkedIn's official spec; the personal banner size is the long-standing community standard the platform itself never states. Treat it as reliable, not guaranteed.

Templates & assets

Cover and post-image blanks at spec size, plus a personal-banner template so team profiles match the page, are requested from design. Each frame below holds its format at the exact ratio until the template lands.

Don't

Don't ship a link post without its image

A missing 1200×627 image lets LinkedIn pick the preview, usually a stray page element. The link card is the post's first impression.

Don't push cover content to the edges

The 6:1 cover crops differently on every device. Detail at the edges disappears on someone's screen. Keep the message in the middle.

Don't improvise the company logo

A padded, stretched, or recoloured mark in the square slot reads as a knock-off. The avatar variant exists for exactly this crop.

Posts speak as senior practitioners, not as a marketing account. Arguments and work, no engagement bait. The register: 3.3 How We Communicate.
