This text was added to the Banner Text editor window, as was this link to Google. If no text is added this bar will appear as a thin block of colour underneath the image.

The correct image size you should use for this banner is 3000px wide by 850px high at 72DPI resolution.

The Banner - bottom block is designed as an impact banner that can be used on a standard page and is used to give pages a strong visual impression. It is designed for the top of your page, bottom block just refers to the block under the image, which can have text added to it.

This banner should be used only once on a page.

This content type automatically appears at the top of the page irrespective of its position in the content list.
