Should your community name be the focus point of your cover image? It DEPENDS 🙃 If your community name explains how you help and makes it instantly clear you teach "niche topic", it makes sense to lead with your name. Examples (made-up) of when I would make the name the focus point: 🟡 Magic Trick Mastery 🟡 Learn The Cello 🟡 Dating App School 🟡 Scrapbooking Skool 🟡 Gluten-Free Baking Club 🟡 Lawn Business Academy 🟡 Food Truck Business Skool 🟡 Food Canning For Beginners 🟡 Vegan Cooking Club 🟡 Teach Your Cat Tricks 🟡 Social Media For Grandparents 🟡 Veteran Support Brotherhood 🟡 ADHD Mothers Club 🟡 Girls Who Skate Gang 🟡 Gentle Parenting Society The WHO and WHAT is instantly obvious and the benefit is you're going to LEARN that skill from an expert. Without having to say it in a long-winded wordy sentence. In contrast, these are examples of when I would NOT lead with the name (again made-up examples) 🟣 Calm And Collected 🟣 She Rises 🟣 Strong And Successful 🟣 Grow And Bloom 🟣 Happy And Healthy 🟣 Lead With Purpose 🟣 Sassy And Fearless 🟣 Unstoppable Mission 🟣 Frantic To Freedom Although they are outcome focused, they're wishy washy and not clear who/what for. You can still include it in the cover, just not focus point or top of content hierarchy. Just raising this, because I want to highlight the importance of using templates (and AI for that matter) as a guide only. If you simply "fill in the blank"... it will sound like it. Yes, the templates say "Offer Statement".... but there's no single cookie-cutter statement structure that works for everyone. That's why I include lots of options to demonstrate. Context and human judgement is key 🔑 And feedback! If you're unsure whether your name is obvious, drop it below and give each other feedback 💬 P.S. 🍞🥖🥐 Example attached. I had the pleasure of helping a lovely Skooler with their cover, and this is absolutely a case when the name should lead ✅

Yay! We got to see our community leader @Sal Frances on Skool News this morning ... for this Canva Template Skool to help with our Cover Images so we can all rank better with the Growth Boost! Big congrats!! I hope you get a TON of traffic and upgrades to your amazing templates!

Light, dark or system? Which theme do you use? ⚪️ ⚫️ This is actually something to consider when designing your community packaging and classroom. I recommend doing a quick check with both themes to make sure none of your content is being washed out. I was amazed how different everything looks when I made a quick switch to dark mode 😲 I'm team light all the way ⚪️

Quick update and thank you to my OGs who have been here since I launched "Skool Brand Kit" almost a year ago.
