These examples use different motion styles, but the same practical rule: preserve the source image and keep the sender icon readable at small size.

High-contrast mark with tiny shineSupport, sales, and launch inboxes where the mark should feel finished but not loud.
small shine around the edges, preserve all letters and symbolsChecklist before choosing one
- Use a square source image so Gmail's circular crop is predictable.
- Keep the face, initials, logo, or product mark centered.
- Avoid tiny text around the edge because inbox avatars are small.
- Choose one subtle motion idea and keep the first frame readable.
- Send a test email before using the image broadly.
