Highlight Cover Design — Make It Branded

Generic highlights look amateur. Branded covers = professional.

What you need:

• Set of icons matching your brand colors
• Consistent style across all covers
• Either text-only or icon-based

Design options:

Option 1: Icon-Based (Clean) Simple white icons on your brand color background. Use free icons from Flaticon or Canva’s built-in library.

Option 2: Text-Based (Clear) Just the category name in your brand font on brand color. Most readable, especially for new visitors.

Option 3: Photo-Based (Visual) Use a property photo or your face photo as cover. Less consistent but more visual.

Canva template approach:

• Create 2-inch x 2-inch square
• Brand background color
• White icon or text
• Download each as PNG
• Upload as highlight cover
