  • Button font: Roboto Regular, 12px
  • The gap between the options area and the bottom of the branding zone is fixed to 7px
  • There is a safe zone at the top of the format. This area should remain visible for every breakpoint.
  • If the branding zone is smaller than the background image, then the image should be cropped on both sides uniformly and/or at the bottom.
  • If the branding zone is bigger than the background image, the extra available space is filled with a plain colored background (CSS).
