Before live video or images can be used as part of programming titling, two properties should be applied to ensure readability and legibility of the TAKEOVER logo. The live video or image should be blur by a measure of 5% and a white fill layer should be applied at an opacity of 20%.

The types of images of live video that should be selected for titling should be simple and focus on characters and faces rather than complex scenes. These images and videos should also have a limited colour variation. When selecting and positioning images the focus should always be on the face of the characters.
