Tips for your perfect branding
Use high-contrast colors for good readability.
Ensure that text and background colors are clearly distinguishable. A clear color scheme ensures that content on the whiteboard remains easily visible – regardless of the screen or surroundings. Use your brand colors, but briefly test them for readability and brightness contrast.
Use your logo in high resolution (SVG or PNG)
Use a logo with a transparent background so it remains clearly visible on both light and dark backgrounds. In Collaboard, each user can individually set the background color – therefore, a versatile logo is particularly important. Also, ensure clear outlines and sufficient white space around the logo.
Keep the welcome video short (max. 60 seconds).
A short, concise video works best. Use the opportunity to personally welcome new users or convey important information – for example, instructions on how to use Collaboard, data protection guidelines, or your organization's security procedures. This way, you combine brand presence with clear communication.
Choose between upload or video link, depending on your hosting preference.
You can upload your video directly to Collaboard or embed it via an external link (e.g., from YouTube or your own server). This gives you complete flexibility – whether you want to protect internal content or use public videos.
Regularly adapt the design to campaigns or seasons.
Dynamic branding keeps the user experience fresh and up-to-date. For example, change your primary color during a product campaign, add a seasonal logo (e.g., with winter or summer accents), or create a special onboarding video for new projects. Small design changes attract attention and strengthen brand loyalty.
