Please Consider Removing The "Gradient Overlay" On Our Store Banners

[nyclosangeles]

Dear Tech Dept.
You are doing a FABULOUS job with all of the new changes! Yay!
As DESIGNERS, our store FRONT is our MAIN advertisement.  I've noticed that 
on all of the store images that look very crisp, clean, elegant, and white, as I upload
my images to my store front, the quality seems to be lost, and especially the whites 
becomes greys.  Hmmmmm, & I'm assuming there is an automatic gradient added to
our images.  Please consider REMOVING this and allow our images we've worked 
so very hard to create for our product images and store front to be EXACTLY what 
we created. Please, consider and respect our images.  Thank you kindly.

I agree. The gradient on store banners has been problematic for me, too.

I don't know how many times I've posted this same suggestion over the years. 🤞

Hello @nyclosangeles et al,

Thanks for sharing this with us and for your input. I'll pass this along to our team so that they can review it further.

All the best,

Pádraig 🙂

I am not sure I know what you mean. Is it that there is a darker shadow at the bottom of the banner. I have many banners that are in a gray gradient so I might be missing it. I did notice my wedding shop seems to go from a darker overlay from the bottom to none at the top. I actually think that this is a very pleasing and professional looking. It might only be me that sees it as a good look. Perhaps the best idea would be to have the option to use the overlay or not in the settings. I expected to see an overlay with the words Zazzle across the banner. Again not sure what the issue is.

I asked for that a few years ago!! 😁

Yes I would like the gradient removed from the banner as well

I, too, have wished for gradient on store banners be removed.   I look at the  store banner as our"front door".  We all know the old adage and good advice, "don't judge a book by its cover", but reality is that first impressions can matter to some people  and if our "front door" (banner) looks bad, they might assume what is inside is not of the highest quality even though they would be wrong.
