12 of The Best Twitch Offline Banner Templates:
What is a Twitch Offline Banner Template?
Twitch offline banner templates are banners that streamers place on their channels when offline. They are designed to show viewers something more attractive than a basic offline screen. Many banner designs come with unique elements, but most include social media handles and text that is editable. The templates we feature in this blog post all comes with project files. Some can be edited online, while others are changed through Photoshop.
Grid
Grid is an almost-minimalist take on a Twitch offline banner template design. It comes from Nerdordie and is included on the Grid Stream Package. While the offline banner design is clean and simple, other elements in the stream package hint more at the grid concept. The strongest feature of the package is the bolded text. It’s prominent and also comes with Korean translations, adding an exotic look and feel to your channel. This package comes with After Effects files for any editing you’d like to complete.
Titan
Titan is a sleek-designed Twitch offline banner that comes as part of the Titan banner set. It’s a 12-pack that includes a break, starting, editing, and offline banner. Banners come in three-color options. These include yellow, blue, and red. Looking at Titan, one can’t help but think of the mythical beings. And we think this banner set stays true to the concept. The font is large and bold, and it’s complemented by the color theme you choose. Your banner also comes with social media handles that can be updated and project files (PSD and blanks for updating text on streaming software).
Ops
Looking at Ops, it’s clear that this offline banner is designed for combat or a first-person shooter gamer. The coloring in the center of the screen is reminiscent of a frag, and the font type screams tactical combat. There’s no getting around how bold this banner is, and that’s due to the color combination used. The black background accentuates the burnt orange paint, and also makes the white text stand out.

Vivid
Vivid is one of the most attractive offline banner designs we’ve come across. The neon colors and sharp edges are hard to miss, and something your viewers will find impressive.

Streamers typically include their social media handles, which is always a smart idea to help promote your brand and grow your community.
