Apple Product Compatibility Icons
Use icons for iPhone, iPad, iPod, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and AirPods in your communications to help customers identify your product’s compatibility with specific Apple device models.
Use icons for iPhone, iPad, iPod, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and AirPods in your communications to help customers identify your product’s compatibility with specific Apple device models.
The icon consists of a line art drawing of the Apple product and text that identifies the device model. Use these in your communications, including advertising, packaging, websites, manuals, hangtags, and printed collateral. The icons can appear within software or a user interface to indicate Apple product compatibility.
The icons must not be applied to hardware. Do not engrave or print the icons on products, do not print them on clothing or cases, and do not produce them as stickers affixed to products.
Never include an Apple product icon as part of your company or product identity.
The icons should be clearly subordinate to your company or product identity. Always use the line drawing and text together as provided in the master artwork from Apple. Keep the proportions of the icons and text the same. If required to fit your layout needs, the artwork can be enlarged or reduced by up to 20 percent.
Use the horizontal configuration when there is plenty of layout space and the icons are stacked vertically.
This bulb is not your ordinary light-emitting diode and opens up possibilities like never before.
For some layouts, such as when the icons are placed in a row, a vertical configuration with text left aligned below the icon allows a more efficient use of space.
This bulb is not your ordinary light-emitting diode and opens up possibilities like never before.
A vertical configuration with text centered below the icon is for use on the spine of packages or where the icons are stacked in a very small layout space.
The minimum clear space is X on all sides, where X is equal to the cap height of the typography. Do not place graphics, type, photographs, or illustrations inside the clear space. Allow a minimum space of 2X between icons.
Each icon is provided in both positive and reverse versions. The positive version contains black line art and black text and is for use only on white, off-white, or very light color backgrounds. The reverse version contains white line art and white text and is preferred for use on black or color backgrounds.
Do not place the icons on patterned or visually cluttered backgrounds. They can be placed on a photographic background as long as you select an area of the photo that is not visually busy and provides sufficient contrast.
Only the Apple-provided icons shown in these guidelines are approved by Apple.
Never attempt to reset the type, change the font, or alter the size or proportions of letters or the space between letters.
Do not use the Apple logo in conjunction with the icons.
Do not rotate or animate any of the elements.
Always use the complete artwork provided.
Use of the icons must be consistent with Apple’s trademark guidelines. The icons may not be used as a trademark for your products or services, including any use as part of a product or company name or any use that could serve as a source identifier for your product.
