How we design them

  • When it comes to doodles, only use our core (black and white) and primary (light-green, light-pink, light-blue and yellow) colours
  • Use no more than 2 colours in a doodle
  • Use them sparingly to add delight and when you want to draw attention to something
  • When drawing shapes use an outline style and only fill them in if outlines cannot be used
  • Use the marker pen brush
  • Brush strokes must have a consistent width (not thick and thin in the same line)
  • Doodles should not be used for more serious things (legal documents, transactions etc)

Accessibility

  • To maintain text legibility don’t place doodles over text

1. Doodling around typography

  • Doodles should only be used with “megaphone”, “shout” and “louder” font sizes
  • Doodles should be on the top line of copy, if more than one line
  • On colour backgrounds try to keep doodles black or white
  • On white backgrounds don’t have a yellow doodle
  • On black or white backgrounds doodles can be any primary colour
  • Keep the doodle in proportion (using these guidelines) with the copy.
