Optimizing Your Facebook Page's Photo and Thumbnail
How do they do it? A snazzy profile picture on their facebook fan page and still a beautifully branded logo as an avatar / thumbnail for the newsfeed?
You can have both! Just open up Photoshop or Fireworks and create a 200x400px canvas; dedicate one half to a branded image and the other to something more lively to spice up your page or an explanation of what your company does to reinforce the message on your custom tab (you have a custom tab, right?).
You’ll get beautiful results. Check out these examples:
