This also goes for that art work you use for your social media branding. Try to match up all the platforms to build brand recognition. Use your logo or are profile picture on all platforms. You want your potential clients to look at your social media accounts at a glance and know immediately who you are and what you do. Matching your social media branding also lends brand authority and trust that you may have already won from a potential client on a previous network. You can now transition them onto other platforms with brand loyalty.
