Web & Mobile: Assets

Assets are the images, logos, icons, and illustrations that appear in the web and mobile apps. Upload them in the Assets section of the Customization Center.

This article gives the requirements and design guidance for each asset. For what each setting controls in the Customization Center, see Customizations. Loyalty assets are covered in Web & Mobile: Loyalty.

Note: File names shown in this article are naming examples, not strict requirements.

Mobile

Choose between a regular and a compact home image. Do not place text or a logo outside the safe area, because buttons and the status bar cover it. Brands with loyalty have a smaller safe area because the loyalty points component also covers part of the image.
