Logo (Branding & Emails)
Where it appears:
Top of your maps
Point adder emails
Passport Event, Best Of, and Scavenger Hunt emails
Recommended Size: 1280 x 720 px
Aspect Ratio: 16:9
Category Icons
Where it appears:
Small icons representing points on your map (categories).
Recommended Size: 300 x 300 px
Aspect Ratio: 1:1 (square)
Tips for Best Results:
Add an Icon Outline
To make sure your icons stay visible (especially when points are close together) add a white or black border. This helps them stand out against all map backgrounds.
Try a circular background
Not a fan of borders? Placing your icon on a solid circular background is a clean alternative that improves visibility and keeps your map looking polished.
Avoid transparency
Transparent icons can blend into the map or overlap in a way that looks messy. Solid shapes are clearer and more consistent.
