Type of Visuals Allowed

  • Subtle, varying, low-transparency color or color gradients
    • Colors should not be heavily saturated to the point of being distracting from row content or text legibility and should always transition to black
  • In some cases, graphic visuals can be allowed subject to PD approval. Visuals SHOULD NOT:
    • mimic or mistaken for known screen hardware defects such as clouding
    • be ambiguous – the visual should be easily recognized with clear brand association to the content being promoted. The highlight is ever-present on the Home Screen and will be seen in the context of other content (carousels, tiles, and banners) requiring the experience to stand-alone and feel recognizable without context
    • be overly complex or busy to distract from Home Screen content
    • contain photography
  • Background must allow overlaying text to pass WCAG AAA or AA (AAA preferred) accessibility
  • Background must work seamlessly within the homepage template
  • Takeover must be complimentary to the Home Screen (plays well with the content as a secondary element, not primary)

Screen Location

  • Creative is limited to bottom 20-40% of the screen with concentrated color/visuals residing in the bottom 20%,
  • In addition, subtle visuals that do not interfere with the legibility of the top right VIZIO logo are allowed, approximately within the top 20% of the screen and from the center point to the right side.
    • Do not include visuals anywhere from the top left side to the center point of the screen as this can interfere with Hero content and the legibility of in-focus swimlane text and row content

Ingress Into Content Ties to Advertiser

  • Creative should not ingress to a location where promoted content does not actually exist.

Frequency

  • Max 2 sponsored backgrounds a month, with a minimum 1 week apart
  • 1-day background increments with up to 1 additional day permitted with additional Hero 1 and Discover 1
