Tips for Effective Event Branding

• Consistency is key: Use the same logo and colors across all your event materials (invitations, signage, carousel)
• High-quality images: Upload high-resolution logos and frames for the best appearance on large displays
• Test before the event: Preview your branding in the live carousel to ensure everything looks right
• Consider contrast: Make sure your logo is visible against the carousel background
• Keep it simple: Avoid overly complex frames that distract from the photos
