Advert images

This is the image guide for sponsors and advertisers. The rules in Images apply to every image: JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 5 MB, and only images you have the rights to.

Sponsor logo

Shown 40 to 48 pixels tall, next to your name, never cropped:

• in the "Presented by" box on events you sponsor;
• on category pages you sponsor ("Fetes is presented by ...");
• on your home page advert, if you don't send a banner.

Send a horizontal logo, about 600 × 200, as a transparent PNG.

• Trim the empty space around the logo, so it fills the height.
• If your logo is mostly a symbol, a square version (400 × 400) works too.
• Check it on both a light and a dark background.

Advert banner

One file is used for the home page top banner, the home page banner further down, and the newsletter.

Send 1200 × 400 (3:1), ideally under 1 MB, because it also goes out by email.

• Home page top: right under the dates at the top of the home page, above Featured; the first thing every visitor sees.
• Home page, further down: below This weekend.
• On the home page it runs the full width of the page, about 1150 pixels wide on a computer and about 360 pixels on a phone, under a "Sponsored" label with your name.
• Weekly newsletter: 552 pixels wide, under "This week's newsletter is presented by ...".

Tips:

• On a phone, your banner is about a third of its real size. Text that's 40 pixels tall in your 1200 × 400 file will be about 12 pixels tall on a phone. Use a few large words: seven or fewer is a good rule.
• Keep a 60-pixel margin clear of important text and logos on every side.
• Put the main message in the middle.
• Send the link you want people to reach with the banner. We add it; don't put a web address in the image.

Event page sidebar

A square advert beside the details on every event page (on phones, after the event's buttons), with "Sponsored" and your name under it. People there are deciding where to go.

Send 600 × 600 (square), ideally under 500 KB.

• It shows at about 300 pixels across, so use a few large words, with the main message in the middle and a 40-pixel margin clear on every side.
• Send the link separately; don't put a web address in the image.

Listing card

A sponsored card among the events in browse, category, search and This weekend results, shaped like an event card, with "Sponsored" and your name under the image. At most one sponsored card per nine events, and two per page.

Send 1200 × 900 (4:3), ideally under 1 MB.

• It's cropped and shown exactly like an event photo on a card (4:3, about 370 pixels wide on a computer, the full width on a phone). Keep the subject and any words in the centre.
• Keep text to a few large words: the card already shows your name.

Category sponsorship

Uses your sponsor logo (above), not a banner.

Requesting a campaign

Sponsor accounts can ask for any of these spots from Campaigns, Request a campaign, and upload the banner or logo there. See Campaigns and billing.
