10 Awesome Twitter Backgrounds

Picture-22-1024x476What makes a Twitter background attractive? Not only that, it has to be consistent with your brand regardless if it’s personal or corporate.

Below, you will find 10 backgrounds that are not just striking, but very in tune with their owners’ image.

A background can be cool, fun, colorful, effortless, beautiful and sexy, but what makes it good is when visitors want to stay at your profile a little longer.

    Not so bad, I too think I should change my Twitter background once.

    There is one more background that I like much:

    Wow. These backgrounds are really stunning, Sarah. I especially like Starbucks's. It's so subtle yet very striking, as well as simple yet all the elements are there. If you were to choose among them, which is the best background for you?

    Tom Felton's one is the best out of the ten.

    Haha I love his background pic. He looks real good!

    I actually like Toysrus' best. When I first entered the page, I was like “wow”. Really vibrant and consistent with its image. (: Mailchimp Starbucks and tom felton come next!

    Wow! Tom Felton's twitter profile looks great and so are the others. Nonetheless, I want to look at those backgrounds as an inspiration for me to make a background that is viewable in varying screen resolution.

    I did mention that with the design style I viewed from your post, you might find these “hot twitter backgrounds”, “cute twitter backgrounds”, and “retro twitter backgrounds” inspirational because I know I did when I was redesigning some new backgrounds.
