Branding Workvivo
There are a number of ways you can easily make Workvivo match your brand. The below can be updated by Dystem Admins.
Main Banner
Having an eye-catching banner can really make your Workvivo platform pop! It's also great real-estate to promote your organization's vision and mission statement, values, ongoing initiatives or an upcoming event for example.
The banner will also appear at the top of the hamburger menu on mobile at a smaller scale but it helps tie in your organization's branding nicely.
Check out the attached Workvivo Login Screen and Banner Design Guide.

Articles – Cover Image
What is safe space? We recommended having 'safe space' for text and images because we want to ensure responsive desktop viewing - the likes of the app launcher widget and article/event cover images can snap to 3 different sizes depending on the width of the browser window. This is the nature of responsive design - people will always view Workvivo on windows of different sizes, there is no set window size unless they’re in full screen.
Feel free to design your cover image templates any way you wish. The dimensions we provide are for optimal best practice to deal with the responsive design but there are no strict rules. If you would like to prioritise more space for text, and are comfortable with it being cropped slightly depending on how it’s being used, go for it!
