Design Do's & Dont's

Germany wants to be a diverse and modern country in all matters. That means, to generally avoid just showcasing caucasian white people in photography and create a good balance of different identities. Try to find a mix between German tradition and images of an open-minded world: we're not just dirndl and beer. Avoid using any symbols or fonts that remind of World War II - crosses, red and black design, fractured fonts etc.

Do's

Use sans serif typography

Use bold & fun illustrations

Smiling Woman Waving Hand

Use joyful images

Dont's

Use Word War II colours

Use old German fonts

Use clichéd imagery
