Talent Day 2026
Create your partner badge
Add a company photo and your logo. Your badge — and the LinkedIn post underneath it — update as you edit.
Company photo
Use a team photo, an office shot, or something from a past Talent Day.
JPG, PNG or WebP. A wide, high-resolution photo works best.
Company logo & name
Upload a logo and it replaces the company name on the badge. No logo yet? The typed name is used instead.
A transparent PNG or SVG gives the cleanest result.
Advanced: swap the footer logos
The badge already uses the official "Hosted by / Partners" strip. Upload a different image here only if the partner line-up changes.
LinkedIn post
A ready caption for the announcement. Edit it, then copy.
Live preview
