Default Twitter Background
I am trying to customize my twitter page. I have used my logo as tile. Can you give me your opinions? I'm concerned my page looks to busy.

http://www.twitter.com/shantemccall

Thanks,

Hello. I took a look and even started following you. It is a bit busy; however I've seen some even busier. I'd say leave it because it's your logo and will keep your branding at the top of all your followers minds. Have fun with Twitter! Sue

Shante,
I think it's a bit overkill. Check out mine and you'll see what I mean.

If you need help, I'd be happy to do a freebie for you. :-)

It appears to be quite simple to me although I feel your logo and text is too small to read - needs to be much larger.

I recently had a blue background with my photo, contact details and covers of 2 of my books but changed it yesterday for one of my photos instead - not a photo of me, but of 3 tawny frogmouth birds in a tree - I'm a keen photographer these days and it seems a good way to show off some of my photography skills. Hopefully it will make people interested enough to have a look.

For those who aren't sure how to view the background without the Twitter box over it, just right-click on the background and select view background image.

I looked @ it - it is a bit busy (but I did the same thing LOL) and uhm, its Twitter -when you really think about its not too many people that have to look @ your page - but you. If they follow you - they'll get your updates. (at least thats how I was thinking). BTW I started following you -

Shante' - I would say keep the logo and see if you can change the "White" box in the center to another color. It's too much white, in my opinion. I don't mind the logo tiled, just don't like all the white. But, I do like your logo....Good luck!

Thanks for the advice.

Robin - I agree it seems to be a lot of white space. I'll work on that.

kathiemt- I'll see if my husband can make the words larger, but the graphic and the words are one piece, if that makes sense. He may have to enlarge the graphic also.

Christina- I need all of the help I can get...lol

Innovative Office Solutions and Awesome Assistant - I look forward to following you on twitter, thanks for following me.

Actually I was responding about Christina's background, not yours which views fine. But if you view the background image for Christina's, i.e. get rid of the Twitter box, the logo is very small as is the text.

It is really a personal choice. So go with what you are comfortable with. I used a photograph I had taken and put a side panel on it. Your background just shows your personality and how you want people to view you.
