Professional LinkedIn Cover Design | Custom Banners
LinkedIn is where people check you before a meeting, before a pitch, before deciding whether to reply to your email. The banner sits across the top of the screen at full width, above everything else, and on most profiles it’s still the default blue gradient or a stock photo of a city skyline that says nothing about the business.
That space is free advertising you already own. Solid LinkedIn design turns it into something that answers the visitor’s actual question: what do you do, and why should they keep reading.

What you get
One custom cover, built for the format you need. Personal profile and company page use different ratios and crop in different places, so tell us which one it’s for. If you need both, they’re quoted as two.
Design matched to your branding. Your colours, your type, your logo where it belongs. If you already have brand guidelines we work inside them. If not, we pull from your logo and whatever else you’re running so the banner doesn’t sit at odds with your website.
Headline, services or contact information, arranged with a hierarchy. One line leads. Everything else supports it. A banner listing nine services in the same size text reads as noise and nobody finishes it.
Profile-photo safe positioning. On a personal profile the photo overlaps the banner near the bottom-left on desktop and sits differently on mobile, and the mobile view crops the sides in. Anything important stays clear of both. This is the most common failure in DIY LinkedIn design: text that looks balanced in Canva and ends up half-hidden behind a headshot.
Two rounds of revisions. Wording changes, colour adjustments, image swaps, layout shifts. Send your notes in one batch rather than one at a time.
Final file as JPG or PNG, exported to the current LinkedIn spec for the format you’ve asked for. Upload it and it fits.
Editable source file. Job title changes, you add a service, the phone number moves. Update it yourself instead of paying for the whole thing again.
Who this LinkedIn service is for
Consultants, coaches, recruiters, agency owners, anyone doing outbound where the profile gets opened before the reply gets sent. Also any company LinkedIn page that’s been sitting untouched since somebody set it up in a rush three years ago.
If you’ve rebranded and your LinkedIn page still carries the old colours, that’s worth fixing before your next campaign. Same if you’re hiring: candidates look at the page, and an abandoned LinkedIn page tells them more about the company than the job ad does.
Where the LinkedIn cover fits into your branding
A banner on its own is one asset. Banner, profile image, post templates and document covers all pulling in the same direction is social media branding design, and that’s what makes a LinkedIn page look like it belongs to a functioning business rather than an account somebody opened once.
We offer this as a single item or as part of wider professional branding services covering the full set. If you want the whole thing quoted together, say so in your brief and we’ll price it before any work starts. Buying it piecemeal usually costs more in the end, though there’s no obligation to take the larger package.
How our branding service works
- Brief and assets. You send the list below and confirm whether it's for a personal profile or a company page.
- First concept. We come back with the banner shown in both desktop and mobile crops, with the profile photo overlaid, so you can see what visitors actually see.
- Revisions. Two rounds. Batch your notes.
- Delivery. Final JPG or PNG plus the editable source file.
Turnaround depends on current workload and how fast the brief comes back. We confirm a date when the job is booked.
What we need from you in order to create the LinkedIn Cover
- Your name or company name as it appears on the profile
- Logo files (vector: AI, EPS, SVG or PDF if you have them, high-resolution PNG if not)
- Job title and the headline or tagline you want on the banner
- The services or message the banner needs to carry
- Brand colours with hex or CMYK codes where you have them
- Fonts, or a note on the style you're after
- Any photos or images to include, at the largest size you have
- Links to a few banners you like, and any you don't. The second list saves more time than the first.
The more of that arrives in the first email, the fewer rounds it takes. Vague briefs produce vague LinkedIn design, and both of us end up spending revisions on something one sentence could have settled.
Common questions about our LinkedIn Cover Design Service
Personal profile or company page?
They’re different sizes and crop differently, so we build them separately. Tell us which one you need. Both can be done, priced as two.
Will it work on mobile?
Yes. Mobile crops the sides and shifts the profile photo, so every layout is checked in both views before delivery.
Can you match my website?
Send the URL with your brief. Pulling colour and type from a live site is normal here.
Do you do other platforms?
Yes, and the same artwork usually extends across them. Each platform is quoted separately because the ratios differ. Full social media branding design across every channel is available as a package.
Can I edit it later?
That’s what the source file is for. Change a title or a number yourself rather than commissioning new LinkedIn design every quarter.
How many changes are included?
Two rounds. Beyond that is quoted hourly, or you can bundle it into a wider professional branding services retainer if changes are frequent.
