Graphic Designer for Pixel-Perfect Logo & Social Media Assets
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I am looking for a meticulous, detail-oriented Graphic Designer to clean up an existing logo and develop a complete suite of "pixel-perfect" social media assets. You will be provided with reference images and a rough concept of the logo. Your goal is to deliver professional, high-resolution files optimized for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.
The ideal candidate understands that social media design isn't just about aesthetics—it’s about technical precision, aspect ratios, and ensuring brand consistency across all device types.
Scope of Work
1. Logo Cleanup & Vectorization
Refine the provided logo reference into a professional, high-resolution vector graphic.
Ensure perfect symmetry, clean lines, and balanced kerning.
Deliver versions in full color, solid black, and solid white.
2. Social Media Asset Creation
Create profile pictures and banner/header images for the following platforms:
- YouTube: Profile picture and Channel Art (optimized for Desktop, Mobile, and TV).
- Instagram: Profile picture (optimized for circular crop).
- TikTok: Profile picture and video thumbnail branding elements.
- Facebook: Profile picture and Page Cover photo.
Technical Requirements: Pixel Perfection: Every asset must be crisp, with no blurring or artifacting.
Safe Zone Compliance: Banners must be designed with "Safe Zones" in mind to ensure essential text and logos are visible across mobile, tablet, desktop, and TV displays.
Platform Specs: All files must adhere to the latest 2026 dimensions and file size limits for each specific platform to avoid automated compression issues.
File Formats: Deliverables should include source files (AI/PSD), as well as exported PNG, JPG, and SVG formats.
Candidate Requirements: Expertise in Adobe Creative Suite: Specifically Illustrator and Photoshop.
Portfolio: Please provide examples of previous social media branding kits or logo refinement work.
Attention to Detail: You should have a deep understanding of how different platforms crop images (e.g., the "circular" profile crop vs. the "wide" banner crop).
Communication: Ability to take feedback and make minor adjustments for "pixel-perfect" results.
How to Apply
Please submit your portfolio and a brief cover letter. In your application, please mention the phrase "Safe Zone Specialist" so I know you have read the technical requirements of this brief.
Note: Priority will be given to designers who can demonstrate experience with YouTube Channel Art specifically, as it requires the most complex "Safe Zone" scaling.
