Overview

Introduction

Introduction Expression Design assets

This document is your guide to creating materials within a Barclaycard digital environment.

As part of our improved design system, we aim to achieve:

  • Carefully designed components inviting interactivity
  • An optimised colour palette and clear navigational system
  • Consideration of brand asset usage for digital spaces.

Please note: we have been working to an 8px baseline grid across everything in this document and our digital applications.

When working with our brand, always consider our design principles:

Bold

All creative work we do should push boundaries, be innovative, bold and inventive. We strive for vivid, fresh, never seen before ideas that will create impact in busy digital settings.

Purposeful

We create purposeful, impeccable designs, tailored to the needs and design cues of each of our audiences. As skilled experts, we're able to present complex information with clarity. Delivering trustworthy, seamless and frictionless digital experiences.

Expressive

We want the work we produce to be positive, human, aspirational and expressive.

Grounded in the reality of our customers, clients and business we focus on the people we work for and those we work with.

We believe in surfacing the most powerful currency of them all real human connection, both on and offline.

Sacred assets

The Barclaycard logo, Card Portal and the colour cyan are our sacred assets, unifying and visually connecting our brand across every touchpoint and audience.

We have optimised our sacred assets to perform better in digital environments.

Overview

Introduction Expression Design assets

The Barclaycard logo is a primary brand asset, appearing on everything that we do. And we've optimised it for digital use.

The Open World symbol and Barclaycard wordmark are always used together, except when the Open World is used for:

  • Social media profiles
  • Favicons
  • App icons.

The cyan logo is used against all the colours in our palette and is used in all possible instances.

The Barclaycard logo has been optimised for digital use.

Clear spacing: [Diagram showing the Barclaycard logo with clear spacing guidelines indicated by dotted lines and measurement markers]

Favicon [Small circular favicon showing the Open World symbol]

Logo minimum size: 25px [Small Barclaycard logo showing minimum size implementation]

Overview

Types of photography

Overview | Expression | Design assets

We have two image types:

  1. People and places
  2. Objects and products.

People and places (1) opens our audience up to a world of access and opportunity by showing them what's possible with Barclaycard.

Objects and products (2) help to simplify complex messages and bring a feeling of humour and fun.

In smaller digital screen sizes, cut-out photography is extremely useful.

Cut out and full bleed photography have the flexibility to use their original settings or adopt a single Barclaycard coloured background. Consider using a contrasting colour from our palette to make your cut-outs pop.

[The right side of the page displays a comprehensive grid of photography examples organized into two main sections labeled (1) and (2), with B2B and B2C categories. The grid shows various lifestyle and product photographs including people in different settings, objects, and Barclaycard-related imagery. The photos demonstrate the two types of photography described in the text - people and places photography showing real-world scenarios and access opportunities, and objects and products photography featuring items like cards, technology, and everyday objects in colorful, engaging compositions.]

Blueprint and Global Digital Expression

Introduction

Overview Expression Design

Blueprint is our global design system, created in collaboration with Group Brand and rooted in our Global Digital Expression (GDE) characteristics.

By having a global design system for Barclaycard and Barclays, we're able to build digital services in a faster, more consistent way, with accessibility and user-insights at the heart.

Like our brand assets, Blueprint and our GDE can be flexed depending on the format, touchpoint or audience.

There are several Blueprint libraries: the main libraries are Foundations, which includes colour, typography and icons and Components, which contains the building blocks that designers need to create digital experiences for Barclaycard.

Wherever possible, Blueprint should be the common design language used in our digital channels across Barclaycard.

Anything created from 2021 should use Blueprint components.

In instances where Blueprint can't be used (e.g. third-party white labelled platforms), digital designs should be rooted in the GDE, to ensure brand consistency.

For access to the Blueprint design system libraries, please email creativecloudmanagement@barclays.com.

1 Masterbrand sacred asset 2 Interaction colour light mode 3 Interaction colour dark mode

Cyan Hex: 00AEEF

Blue - Interactive - light mode Hex: 006DE3

Blue - Interactive - dark mode Hex: 3696FC

Cyan is one of our sacred assets and it should be used where possible with our brand elements, such as our logo, Open World and the Card Portal.

Blue - Interactive is our primary functional colour, which is more accessible than cyan in digital environments. It's used to highlight interactive elements such as buttons or links.

It has been carefully chosen to meet accessibility colour contrast requirements with our background colours in both light and dark modes.

[Mobile interface examples showing three phone screens demonstrating the different color modes in Barclays mobile applications, with numbered annotations 1, 2, and 3 corresponding to the color swatches above. The screens show various interface elements including "Hi Emilie" greeting, account balances, navigation buttons for Home, Discover, and Payment, and options like "Save & invest".]

Blue - Information Green - Success Amber - Warning Red - Error
Hex: 006DE3 Hex: 09821F Hex: FFBA00 Hex: E3000F

Blue - Interactive is used for all interactive elements such as buttons or links. It should be used purposefully and not overused.

Blue - Information has the same hex value as Blue - Interactive but has a different label due to its function as a status colour.

Supplementing our colour palette, we have a set of colours used within digital communications to signify a particular action or perform specific functions:

  • Our greyscale is designed for layering sections and components within a screen, to create a sense of depth without distracting from the key messages
  • Status colours and tints are used in form fields, alerts and notifications to indicate new information, errors, warnings, or successes
  • Amber, Red and Grey status tints have the same hex value for both light and extra light variations.

Typography

Ticker tape

Overview Expression Design principles

Ticker tape is a supporting type style and is used to highlight and elevate key messaging.

Always set your leading (1) by multiplying the type size by 0.95. For example, 12pt x 0.95 = 11.4 leading size.

The cap height defines the ticker tape clear space (2). Use 25% of the cap height for the clear space above and below the text. Use between 20% to 30% of the cap height for the clear space left and right of the text.

Ticker tape can be rotated from -1.5° (4) to +1.5° (5) only. Aim to use different rotations to create spontaneity.

Always ensure only the ticker tape rotates, never rotate the type (6).

Visual Examples:

(1) Ticker tape typography - Shows proper leading spacing

(2) K - Demonstrates 20% to 30% clear space measurements

(3) Key words - Shows 25% clear space implementation with blue background

(4) Rotate + - Example of positive rotation on blue background

(5) Rotate - - Example of negative rotation on blue background

(6) Don't rotate type - Shows incorrect rotation with red X indicator

Typography

Ticker tape

Overview Expression Design principles

Ticker tape must always be accessible, considered and never overused.

Aim to only use it once per communication or spread it out to support an energising statement or headline.

Cyan is our primary colour for ticker tape, paired with Bright blue copy

Highlight a key word

Up to three lines of ticker tape for a headline

If text is longer than three lines, highlight up to four words


Ticker tape varies in length and angle.
This is an example of a three line heading

Ticker tape sits to a straight margin.
This is an example of a three line heading

Don't use multiple sizes for ticker tape headlines

Overview

The Barclaycard grid system is set up to three different screen-scales to allow for responsive design across different platforms and devices:

  • Desktop (12 column)
  • Tablet (12 column)
  • Mobile (6 column).

Please note: we have used an 8px baseline grid. Where this isn't appropriate or practical this has been highlighted as an exception.

Desktop 1440px Columns: x12 Margin: 24px Gutters: 24px

The grid system shows 12 columns with 24px gutters between each column. The layout demonstrates equal-width columns with consistent spacing, providing a structured framework for responsive design across the 1440px desktop viewport.

Iconography

Functional iconography

Overview Expression

We use icons to represent our services, creating a more intuitive experience and helping to guide our users through their journey. We have an icon library but if you need to create new icons follow the steps below.

  1. Use a 24x24px grid as a starting point

  2. Design the icon using a 2px thickness throughout

  3. Apply a 1px rounded corner to the outside edge of the icon.

(1) Create a 24x24px grid (2) Design the icon using a 2px thickness throughout (3) Apply a 1px rounded corner to the outside edge of the icon
[Grid layout showing 24x24px grid structure] [Icon example showing circular download icon with 2px thickness on turquoise background] [Icon example showing house icon with rounded corners]

Icons should communicate their function simply with as few lines as possible. Three scales have been designed to allow for different icon usage and different screen sizes. The default line-drawn icons become filled icons to indicate their selected or activated state.

Scale

Default 24px Small 20px (8px grid exception) Large 32px
[House icon at 24px size] [House icon at 20px size] [House icon at 32px size]

States

Selected Activated
[Row of icons showing: filled blue house, outline bell, outline message, outline calendar, outline settings] [Two filled blue icons: circular user icon and house icon]

Any new items require Big Ticket approval.

Card Portal

Overview Design assets

The Card Portal is a highly flexible sacred asset that creates consistency by revealing opportunities to our audiences. Cyan is always the Card Portal colour and any Barclaycard colour can be partnered with it. In web, the Card Portal is positioned in the Hero banner.

In digital web components, the Card Portal will always sit in front of the other assets.

Its flexibility enables it to adapt to any digital, print and physical format. It can be brought to life imaginatively to create memorable Barclaycard experiences.

[Visual example 1: Two teal Barclaycard Visa credit cards displayed at an angle on a purple background, enclosed within a cyan rounded rectangle border]

[Visual example 2: The word "LATE" repeated multiple times in large white text on a teal background, enclosed within a cyan rounded rectangle border]

[Visual example 3: A web banner component on a blue background showing a smiling person in a red shirt on the right side, with content on the left including "Title goes here" as a heading, "Optional subtitle goes here" as a subheading, descriptive text reading "Additional description text can go here if you need lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt." and two buttons labeled "Button label". The entire component is enclosed within a cyan rounded rectangle border]
