Best practices

What—and what not—to do when using our marketing UI graphics.

Color fill

Do use the standard filled or outlined neutral pills.

A ‘25% OFF’ Pricing UI Element with the standard grey neutral fill sits on the bottom left corner of a card containing an image of three people wearing fashionable clothes and accessories posing in front of a yellow backdrop. An outlined Save icon sits on the top right corner of the card.

Don’t use colored pills outside of approved tone-on-tone applications.

Simplicity

Do select the proper UI graphic to communicate the desired story.

Don't overload the image with too many different UI graphics. Don't stack more than 3 pill tags.
