The Task As Facebook publicly launched cover videos for pages, our department with tasked with figuring out who to best leverage this new concept. We always had a changing cover image per show detailing the dates and sponsor for that current show. However, the main style that every page was using was just a branding style video for the whole company. We needed to keep it specific to each show and had requirements to keep the show sponsor present at all times. My Role I was able to combine our show montages and the graphic to give a window into the show while keeping the show branding present. I took our original cover image into Photoshop and manipulated it to provide a space for a video to live. We already had a short energetic video each week with our 'Show Montage' so I dropped that behind the logo. The other thing to take note was to make sure it looped and always provided a static image at the top and end of the video. At that time Facebook cover videos would only work on certain devices so we needed to make sure the static would provide all the necessary info right away. Below is an example of how the video looked on the Facebook page.
