Important Notes:

• Hosted by ESPN directly. ESPN reserves the right of final approval on all creative assets.

• The Wallpaper is not clickable. Static images only.

• Cannot have any repeating logos or patterns and should not include floating text, logos, or graphics on a solid white or light gray background.

• The full width of the Wallpaper will not be viewable on all devices, therefore it is strongly recommended to only have non-essential brand elements within the Wallpaper area wrapping the sides of the site content. 

  • Logos and text may not be viewable if included.

• A gradient fade will be applied starting 90px up from the bottom-edge of the creative to create a smooth transition with ESPN’s background color. 

  • This is applied automatically when served to the site, do not apply a gradient directly to the creative image before submitting. 

• Wallpaper is presented to desktop users with a screen resolution of 1024px to 1280px

• Must be paired with a banner or pushdown unit.
