We believe that powerful marketing will help bring continued success for your apps. Use App Store badges, Apple product images, and these identity guidelines to effectively promote your apps availability on the App Store in all marketing communications.
Include App Store badges in all digital and printed marketing materials as a clear call to action to get your app. App Store badges are available in 50 localizations to help you reach a broader audience. Versions are available for the App Store for iPhone and iPad, the Mac App Store, and Apple TV.
Generate embeddable code that leads to your App Store product page and displays an App Store badge, your app icon, or a QR code. You can also download specific badges based on language and style.
Use the preferred black badge in all marketing communications promoting your app. The gray border surrounding the black badge is part of the badge artwork and should not be modified. Whenever one or more badges for other app platforms appear in the layout, use the preferred black badge. Place the App Store badge first in the lineup of badges.
The alternative white badge is designed to give you greater versatility and can be used when the preferred black badge appears visually heavy in the layout. The alternative badge is suitable when only one badge appears in the layout and when it complements the colors used in the layout. If badges for other app platforms appear in your communication, use the preferred black badge, not the alternative white badge.
Apple provides badge artwork with the modifiers Download on the and Pre-order on the translated into regional languages. The service mark App Store always appears in English. Never translate App Store or create your own localized badge.

Use one App Store badge per layout or video. Place the badge in a subordinate position to the image or main message so that it isnt the dominant artwork. Dont modify, angle, or animate the App Store badge.
Use the pre-order badge to indicate that your app is available for pre-order on the App Store. Once the app is released for download, be sure to replace the pre-order badge with the download badge in all of your marketing materials. For more information on making your apps available for pre-order, see Offering Your Apps for Pre-Order.
Use only the badge artwork provided in these guidelines. Dont use icons, logos, graphics, or images from www.apple.com to promote your app. Never use the Apple logo in place of the word Apple. Dont use the standalone Apple logo.
Minimum clear space is equal to one-quarter the height of the badge. Dont place photos, typography, or other graphic elements inside the minimum clear space.
Minimum badge height is 10 mm for use in printed materials and 40 px for use onscreen. Select a size that is clearly legible but not dominant in the layout.
When the badge is placed on advertising with very limited layout space, such as banners for mobile devices, select a badge size that is clearly legible on the target mobile devices. Minimum clear space for very limited layout space is equal to one-tenth the height of the badge.
For printed materials, the badge can be printed in one color if black and white inks are not used on the layout. The line art portion of the badge (Apple logo, type, and outline rule) can be printed in the ink color used on the layout as long as it provides sufficient contrast for clear legibility.
Use Apple-provided product bezels in all your marketing materials to display your app on the Apple devices it supports. Always use the latest-generation devices for which your app is currently developed.
Download Apple Product BezelsFeature Apple product images on their own in your communications, and dont include images of competing products. References to multiple platforms and competing products can be made only in copy or with badges.
Use Apple product images as is and without modification. Modifications include adding reflections, shadows, highlights, or graphic elements that appear to enter or come out of the product screen; cropping, tilting, or obstructing any part of the images; animating, flipping, or spinning the images; or creating buttons or icons with a product image. You can place promotional copy or violators beside the product images, not on top of them.
Use Apple product images at a size that is clearly legible at the image resolution provided. Ensure that the minimum device size is no smaller than 25 mm in height for printed materials and 200 px onscreen. Maintain the correct relative product scale whenever multiple products are shown.
The following uses of Apple products are not permitted in marketing materials:
If your marketing contains illustrations of generic devices, ensure that these devices do not include details that are unique to Apple products, such as the iPhone Home button, sensor housing, Ring/Silent switch, or volume controls.
Focus on the experience of using your app and not on Apple product functions. Display your app on the screen as it appears when your app is running. For apps that work within Messages, Siri, Phone, or Maps, display your app within the Apple UI exactly as it appears when your app is running. Apps that support widgets may display this functionality in screen content as long as no third-party content is shown on the Home Screen. Be sure to create screens using the latest operating system version. Dont display a blank screen on an Apple product, or on a television screen when showcasing Apple TV.
You are responsible for securing the rights to all materials used in screen content within your app, and you should display fictional account information instead of data from a real person. For the screen content of apps that work within Apple apps, you are responsible for securing the rights and approvals for third-party content such as store names or locations.
The status bar for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch should show a full network icon or product designator, a full Wi-Fi icon, and a full battery icon. If your app runs full screen, you can extend your app screen image over the status bar. If your app is optimized for 5G networks, you can display the 5G icon in the status bar from a compatible device.
Status bar options are provided on different layers within the Smart Object layer. Be sure to select the correct localized layer for the region in which your marketing communications will appear.
When showing push notifications from your app in advertising, display a single push notification on the lock screen of the Apple device. Dont include multiple push notifications from your app, or other apps push notifications. If tapped, the push notification must open the app directly. Dont show the Home Screen of the Apple device.
If your app supports widgets, you may show your apps widget on the Home Screen as long as no third-party content is depicted in your communications. Otherwise, dont display an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, or Apple TV Home Screen.
For product images of iMac, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air in the desktop display option, remember to add your icon to the Dock and customize the menu bar titles to match your apps menu bar.
Custom photography and video of Apple products are allowed. Show people interacting with the Apple product in an authentic way, and feature your app in a realistic manner, exactly as a user will experience it.
Straight-on product shots are preferred. Dont use extreme angles or alter an Apple product in any way. The products color, shape, size, and form must be accurate. Dont engage in suspension of disbelief by showing Apple products or your app in a fantastic or unrealistic manner.
Only show the back of a device in an authentic manner to illustrate natural use of the device. Dont feature the Apple logo to take advantage of the promotional value of the Apple brand. Dont obscure or cover the logo.
In video, once you show an establishing shot of the entire Apple device, you may pan and zoom to focus on your app. Present the movement in a simple, clear manner. Use straightforward transitions such as fade or dissolve. Dont use Apple user interaction gestures such as Multi-Touch or trackpad swipes to perform scene transitions.
Start the app sequence with your app open. If app sequences are shortened, display a sequences shortened disclaimer. You can use the sounds that your app makes naturally as audio elements of your video, but dont use the native sounds of the Apple device.
Focus on the experience of using your app running on the latest operating system. Dont display a blank screen on an Apple product, or on a television screen when showcasing Apple TV. For more details, see Screen Content.
Use only the devices and colors provided. If multiple Apple products are shown, display them in the correct relative sizes. Always display the product as is dont add cases or covers. Dont show an Apple product along with a competing product from another manufacturer. For Apple TV communications, avoid showing the television manufacturers name.
Include Apple credit lines wherever legal information is provided. At the end of a video, display the correct credit lines for Apple trademarks used in your video as described in Legal Requirements below. Maintain clear-space requirements when credit lines follow the badge.
When promoting your app, your headline and copy should focus on your app, not on Apple product features. Use clear, simple messaging. Always include a call to action to download your app.
Refer to the correct product names your app supports, and avoid referring to iOS, macOS, tvOS, or watchOS in your marketing communications. Dont refer to Apple devices generically as smartphones or tablets. Use the product names.
Use Apple product names such as Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV in a referential phrase to indicate that your app is compatible with these products. For example, say app name for iPhone or app name for iPad, or use a phrase such as works with or compatible with. Dont say iPhone app name.
List all the Apple products that your app runs on. Dont list Apple products that are not compatible with your app.
When including your company name, lead with the company name followed by the app name and end with the appropriate Apple product names. For example, it is correct to say Company name App name for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
Always use the correct Apple product names with the correct capitalization as shown on the Apple Trademark List. Always use Apple product names in singular form. Modifiers such as model, device, or collection can be plural or possessive. Never typeset Apple product names using all uppercase letters.

Never use a lowercase i followed by all uppercase letters.
For headlines and copy, use an uppercase X, small cap S, and small cap R whenever technically possible and when you can ensure efficient and accurate implementation. For example: iPhone XS Max. When you cannot ensure that small caps will render accurately or when technical limitations may prevent the display of small caps, use an uppercase X, S, and R. For example: iPhone XS Max.
To implement small caps on webpages, make sure your specified font supports OpenType and use the font-variant CSS property font-variant: small-caps;.
Mac is always set with an uppercase M followed by lowercase letters; MacBook is one word with an uppercase M and B; and iMac always begins with a lowercase i followed by an uppercase M followed by lowercase letters. iMac begins with a lowercase i even when it is the first word in a sentence.
Always typeset Apple Vision Pro as three words with an uppercase A, V, and P followed by lowercase letters. Dont break Apple Vision Pro over two lines. Dont use the article the before Apple Vision Pro. Apple Vision Pro apps are available on the App Store or can be downloaded from the App Store. Its acceptable to say Name of app for Apple Vision Pro when your promotion is focused on features and benefits related to Apple Vision Pro. Dont refer to Apple Vision Pro generically as a headset. The phrase Apple Vision Pro cant be included in your app name, but it can be included in your app description.

Always typeset Apple Watch as two words with an uppercase A and an uppercase W followed by lowercase letters. Dont break Apple Watch over two lines. Dont use the article the before Apple Watch. Apple Watch apps are available on the App Store or can be downloaded on the App Store. It is acceptable to say Name of app for Apple Watch when your promotion is focused on your app features and benefits related to Apple Watch.
When promoting your app, your headlines and copy should focus on your app, not on Apple Watch features. Dont use the word watch or time as a pun or verb in your marketing materials.
When referring to Apple Watch, include the series number, such as Apple Watch Series 6, depending on the features and functionality available in your app.
Apple TV is typeset as two words with an uppercase A followed by lowercase letters, and an uppercase TV. If your app is offered only for Apple TV, clarify that your app is exclusive to Apple TV and available only from the App Store on Apple TV.
Always typeset App Store with an uppercase A and an uppercase S followed by lowercase letters.
Refer to just the App Store unless you need to be more specific; in that case, you can use App Store for iPhone, App Store for iPad, Mac App Store, App Store for Apple TV, App Store for Apple Watch, or App Store for iMessage. To refer to all the versions, use this order: App Store for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and iMessage. Dont use terms such as Apple Watch App Store or App Store for watchOS.
Include only the article the before App Store and Mac App Store. Never include other descriptors; for example, dont say iTunes App Store, Apple App Store, or iPhone App Store. Dont add superlatives such as the best App Store. It is correct to say that an app is available on the App Store or can be downloaded from the App Store. Dont use at the App Store.
