Individual shapes

Individual shapes can be used alone or alongside other shapes or content containers in a strip or grid.

Most commonly used

Most commonly used shapes include the open teardrop, open circle, 4 dots, leaves, clover, pointed flower and 2 dots.

Used less often

Shapes that are used less often include the split circle, split side circles, triangle dot, diamond, quad teardrops and square.

Shape size

Except for the two-dot shape, all individual shapes are square, so width and height should be exactly the same and all shapes in a strip or grid should be the same size.

Content containers

Content containers can be paired with individual shapes for greater variety and in-depth messaging. These containers can be filled with color, photography and copy, making them useful for visually telling a story. The oval and the pointy oval can contract and expand as desired.

The four content containers are teardrop, circle, oval and pointy oval.
