Afterpay Brand Guidelines August 2023

The credit industry remains fundamentally broken. It’s an industry

Our ethos. that needs you to lose for them to win, and it can only survive by

pushing the next generation into the same cycles of debt. 



We see the world differently. 



We trust in the next generation and share a vision of a more

accessible and sustainable world in which people are

rewarded for doing the right thing. 



So we started a movement in which everyone can win—

shoppers, retailers and society. 



By increasing access to the things people need, and providing

meaningful choice at checkout, we empower the next

generation to both enjoy today and thrive tomorrow - free from

the pernicious debt, sneaky fees, and lack of transparency that

inspired a new way forward. 



There was before, and now there’s Afterpay.

Wordmark misuse.
To maintain a strong brand presence, our logo
should always show up consistently. We don’t
alter the logo or add visual treatments.

Do not use the wordmark without the loop. Do not rotate the logo. Do not rearrange elements of the logo.

Do not outline the logo. Do not add a drop shadow or glow to the logo. Do not colour the logo or place images
inside of the logo.

Do not add a gradient fill to the logo. Do not distort the logo. Do not use colours not specified for the logo.

The Loop represents how Afterpay connects

increasing purchase power and flexibility on one side

Stroked loop.
Stroked loops can be used to frame, dimensionalize
and add texture to compositions.

Specifications:

For consistency, the stroke weight should always be


0.2% of the longest dimension of the artboard.

So for a 2000x500px digital billboard, the stroke of the


oversized loop would be:

0.2% of 2000 = 4px



For a 320x250px display banner:



0.2% of 320 = 0.64px

Stroked pill.
The stroked pill can frame product and lifestyle
photography, emphasize copy, play search bar and
much more.

To ensure Pill stroke remains consistent throughout


any execution, the following measurements

are recommended:

Stroke weight = 0.5% of height

Specifications:

For consistency, create a pill with a height of 100px


and a stroke weight of 1.5px - then scale this up or
down for any artwork size.

This will mean that the stroke weight of any pill will
be 1.5% of the height.

Stroke weight = 1.5% of height

Stroke weight = 5% of height

Where possible, we restrict our copy colors to the core palette, using
secondary and tertiary colors as backgrounds and containers.

Incidental.

WCAG 2.0 defines four types of “incidental” text that canbe exempt from
meeting the contrast requirements.

Secondary

Inactive: An inactive element that’s typically identified visually by its lower-


contrast state. For example, a disabled Submit button.

Pure decoration: Decorative text that is not meant to be read. For
example, a picture of a bookshelf on a library homepage, where the titles
of the books may be intentionally unreadable.

Not visible to anyone: Text mean to be hidden, like an invisible skiplink. Tertiary
Unless the text becomes visible, it wouldn’t need to meet any contrast

Pill padding 


and alignment.

Pill size is determined by type size. Padding is

then determined by optically balancing the

baseline and characters’ cap height.

Pill alignment is determined by the first and last

characters of the word within the Pill and is

aligned to the exact curvature points of the Pill

itself. This creates a natural centered alignment

between the two elements.

The size of the padding is determined by the 


size of the headline. Using the character “x”

ensure the padding is an equal x above and

below the copy.

The stroke weight will be 1.5% the 


height of the pill.

Pill edge & first letter of word

space should be a semi-circle.

Feature imagery.

Feature imagery is meant to capture a moment in

time that feels candid, covetable and storied.


We’ll lean into natural lighting and convey a sense of

space and we’ll leave our stamp thorough color and

subtle hits of Afterpay branding.

Feature image is intended to feel heroic and be the

most conceptual version of showcasing a single

category offering or product expression. Usage will

range from OOH to Lifecycle and will typically show

up in evergreen or campaign placements.

Imagery is FPO until brand

Product imagery library.

Library imagery is a hybrid of icons and feature

imagery. It’s systematic and monochrome approach

allows for pattern and repetition or stand alone

moments. A subtle grain effect adds a human touch

and level of grit and nostalgia. 

Library imagery is meant to be extremely adaptable

for marketing and product and is used most

frequently further down the funnel for shopping. It

solves for messaging abundance as well as singular

focused ideas.
