Image requirements
Premium pins in Geoservices
Don't use an image that's too small
Use all available space so that the object doesn't look small.
Use light from a single source
We recommend using blurred light to avoid strong glare on the object.
You can backlight the object to make it stand out on the map.
Use rich and warm colors
Don't use muted colors. Muted colors can give the logo a plastic look.
Use a logo that stands out
The logo should not show a building or duplicate app elements, such as navigation, traffic events, and so on.
Use a logo or object that are easy to recognize
To encourage users to tap the premium billboard, the image must be clear and recognizable. Use your company's logo or show an object from a common angle.
Avoid patterns, collages, and groups of objects because they make the premium billboard difficult to read.
Object in the image should be clear
If your company doesn't have a well-known logo, use an image of your product or service.
Use a sharp image
Don't use thin lines for outlines in your image. It's better if the image is solid. That makes it easier to read.
Don't use images with text
Opt for a high-quality and clear image instead of text.
Don't use small text and avoid extra details
Write a text that's as simple and clear as possible. Use a title and subtitle if needed. The minimum font size is 46 pixels.
Use fonts that are easy to read
Don't use fonts that are hard to read, such as calligraphic, handwritten, or distorted.
Use a contrasting background
Avoid using white or dark blue background for the banner, as it may blend with Yandex Navigator's light and dark themes. Instead of white, you can use a light gray background.
You can use white and dark blue for the background, as long as these colors occupy no more than one-third of the banner.
Don't use borders
You can't use a border on the banner.
Add a disclaimer to the card
There's a special field for the disclaimer, so you don't need to put it on the banner.
Write a clear text for the banner
If you use an image without text, add a simple and clear text to the card.
Warning
The image should not resemble a road sign.

You can't use a border on the banner.
Write a clear text for the banner
