I have a neutral, real background that I use for all meetings.

Strategic Banking IT advisor in Banking2 years ago

We have corporate backgrounds (neutral) with our organization logo on them.
My department also makes seasonal backgrounds (Halloween, Fall, Summer, Christmas).

But most of the time, I don't use backgrounds at all.  In my basement, I have a very neutral office corner (with nothing behind me beside a picture on the wall).
