Jan 25, 2022 Want to refresh the look of your LinkedIn banner?

Or is it the first time you’re designing a LinkedIn banner photo for your brand?

Whatever may be the case, you’ll have a lot to take away from this post.

LinkedIn is the world’s largest and the most active professional networking community of nearly 800 million members, with more than 57 million companies listed. To maintain an active presence on LinkedIn and benefit from it, you need to pay attention to every detail and be consistent.

LinkedIn Banner is one of the most overlooked sections of a LinkedIn Page. While writing this, I came across a few brands that haven’t used a custom LinkedIn cover image. And that made me think that they ignored the details that could have given them an extra edge over their competitor brands. So you don’t want to make this kind of impression on your company profile visitors, right?

So in this post, we’ll cover some impactful ideas along with examples of some brilliantly designed LinkedIn cover photos for you to take inspiration from. Then I’ll share a few templates from the DocHipo library and discuss how they can make your job even 1/10

easier.

LinkedIn Banner Design Ideas With Examples Coming up with a design idea that perfectly represents your brand, showing its fun and creative side, and being professional at the same time is quite challenging. To make the process systematic and easier for you, I’ll show you impressive and successful LinkedIn Banner examples from top brands to lesser-known innovative ones.

Use images that represent your brand Your LinkedIn profile speaks for your brand or business. So it’s pretty obvious that you need to add an image that reflects your brand. For instance, if a scenery looks mesmerizing on the LinkedIn cover of a company page, but it’s irrelevant to your business, why add that?

Look at how the real estate business WeWork India used this gorgeous image to represent its brand.

Similarly, Airbnb represents comfort and convenience through their LinkedIn cover photo.

Spread brand awareness through color consistency

The color and fonts you use need to match your overall brand style and vibe. Depending on the niche or industry of your business, the color you choose can be extreme or muted. Just make sure you maintain the color consistency of your brand throughout all your social channels.

Showcase your brand’s mission, vision, or values You can design a LinkedIn Banner that will express the cause you support or the mission and vision that your brand stands for. So you can incorporate such an image to showcase your expertise and highlight your brand’s vision and values.

Showcase the end benefit your customer desires A customer buys a thing to get a specific benefit or an experience. If you can express and communicate what end benefit your product or service offers through a visual, what’s better than that?

For instance, if you have a garment business, you may showcase pictures of people rocking the dresses you sell.
