pages review what each logo option is used for and file recommendations below for the best experience square mobile ashby pages use the square logo we recommend using a square png, jpg, or svg file of at least 48 x 48 pixels wordmark desktop screens use the wordmark logo if your wordmark appears small on ashby, reduce the border or margin we recommend using a horizontal rectangular png, jpg, or svg file at least 160 pixels high an example of a logo on a job board when viewed on a desktop social media social media sites like linkedin and x (twitter) use the social media logo when you post jobs if you don't include a social media image, ashby uses your square logo instead most platforms do not reliably render svg images, so we recommend using a png or jpg file at least 1000 pixels wide and a ratio of width to height of about 1 7 to 1 (1000 pixels wide by 588 pixels high) an example of the logo uploaded to the social media field being displayed on a social media post social sharing the social sharing section allows you to preview and further configure how your job board links appear when shared on social platforms you can use the linkedin, x (twitter), and other platforms tabs to get further information on how platforms determine how to display links and to preview your logo accordingly we recommend uploading both a square logo and a social media logo if you do not upload a logo in the social media section, ashby uses the logo uploaded in the square section instead if you don't upload a logo in either the social media or square sections, ashby displays nothing for preview in both cases, you see a warning message, either confirming that the square logo is in use or that a logo hasn't been found the social sharing menu, showing the warning when a square or social media logo hasn't been updated in the social sharing linkedin tab, you can preview your logo and determine whether it needs further editing (like if the logo is off center, as shown in the example below) linkedin uses open graph html tags to determine how to display links to your job board ashby automatically sets these up for you under the social sharing x (twitter) tab, you can set your card size using the x (twitter) summary card type dropdown (the default small card size or a large card size if your logo gets cut off) you can also determine which image displays using the x (twitter) image dropdown, selecting from either the social media or square logo the other platforms tab serves as a general catchall with a large card preview that approximates what most other platforms display previews shown in social sharing are approximations always check the documentation and post inspector tools for the platforms you use to make sure you are following best practices job board options
