Twitter background design is one of the most important things, you can change in your account to attract new followers. We only can change little things in Twitter so why we don’t put there the best we can? Let’s change our background right now, but before we do that – time for you to get inspired!
I hand picked those 50 Twitter backgrounds, while I was browsing through like 200-300 twitter pages – these all were the ones which caught my attention. Interesting to notice, not all of favorites are really colorful, but even subtle, clean and elegant but still stood out. In my opinion the best case is to create what suits you in the meantime thinking about usability and readability – but light designs with few colors included to make design shine seems to be the best case! What’s your case?

I admit, I have not seen this web-site for a long time, however, it was another enjoyment to see such an great items and neglect it. Many thanks for assisting making people more aware of best notions.

Oh neato! Thanks so much for including me in this collection! (@nymphont)
I wish I was still using this twitter background, my current one is a quite uninspired rendition made to better suit “New Twitter.” I must create a new one!
Thanks again

Lovely collection! We just redesigned ours and our site. We’re going to change the image periodically to match the other schemes on our homepage.

Definitely missing this one: http://twitter.com/justinruess
I am not so sure the last one is a really good one, as when you are logged in you can only see the top 1/4 of the text in the middle. Other than that, great list.

I like your background – clean,colorful and simple in the same time :)
Ah, I think it’s dependent from screen resolution, there was some kind of algorithm, how to calculate and create background for the most used resolution, but yeah for sure you can make just left top/center side, others are really scalable.. thanks for your comment :)
