Creating social ads
If you are creating an ad for Facebook remember that text should take up no more than 20% of the image. You can read about text in ad images using Facebook's best practices for image ads. In instances where your ad has too much text, it is appropriate to remove the SFU logo. Ads will be seen along the avatar, handle and ad copy to help identify it as an SFU ad.
