Virtual backgrounds
Backgrounds for Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet, used by attorneys on client calls and when hosting the webinar. The speaker covers the centre of the frame, so the brand sits top left and the message upper right. Nothing important goes behind the head.
The three backgrounds · 1920 × 1080
Turn on guides to see the hatched speaker zone: the centre 800px, from 560px to 1360px. The speaker covers the central keep-clear region; brand sits top left and the message upper right.

A warm ivory wall with the logo and one gold base line. The quietest choice for client calls.

A navy panel on the right carries the message. The speaker sits on ivory, which keeps edges clean.

A navy flood with a gold keyline. Use it for the webinar itself, not for one-to-one client calls.
In a call · 1920 × 1080
The same three backgrounds with a speaker in frame. The shape stands in for a person at a normal distance from the camera. Everything that matters stays readable on both sides.

Mirroring
Zoom mirrors your own self-view by default, so the text in your background looks reversed to you. Attendees see it the right way round. Upload the artwork unmirrored and leave it alone. Do not flip the file to make your own preview look right, because then everyone else sees it backwards.

Correct. This is the file you upload.

Expected. Only you see this. Turn off “Mirror my video” in Zoom’s video settings if it distracts you.
Specification
| Element | Rule |
|---|---|
| Size | 1920 × 1080, 16:9. JPG or PNG, under 5 MB. |
| Speaker zone | The centre 800px stays empty: no logo, type, or lozenge. Turn on guides to see it. |
| Safe area | 96px from every edge. Meeting apps crop the frame to the camera’s shape, and name tags cover the lower left. |
| Logo | Full PLG lockup, top left, about 380px wide. Colour on ivory, yellow on navy. |
| Message | Upper right, right-aligned, no more than five words plus one URL. Use the short headline “Wills vs. trusts, explained.” and “piercelaw.com/webinar”. |
| Photography | None. People or busy scenes behind a speaker confuse background detection and pull the eye away from the face. |
| Mirroring | Upload unmirrored. Your self-view will look reversed. Attendees see it correctly. |
