Design Guidelines

No matter if you are using the BeeTagg Designer or any other tool for graphic art, it is important that you consider the following precepts in order to make you BeeTagg function optimally.

Do never cover the BeeTagg comb by a graphic element

The white combs are also important and must not be covered either.

This application shows a wrongly inserted logo. It covers the white combs and will therefore not function optimally:

If you wish to use a wide logo, you have to take another base format for your BeeTaggs (in this case, “Saturn” would be optimal). Here you can find all possible formats.

Do not change the colour of the BeeTagg

The BeeTagg background must be white and the combs black or white respectively, and must not be dyed nor inverted. If you wish to use another colour instead of black, please contact us:  info[at]beetagg.com.

Do not change the size, position and alignment of the individual elements

You must not change the thickness of the frame line nor the frame lines of the white combs. The combs’ position must not be changed in any case either. While scaling, please make sure that all elements are always scaled proportionately and that the frame line, for example, is only scaled in its size, but, not in its thickness.

Always us a master copy according to the specific purpose

Always use a master copy according to your specific purpose. If you want to use a print master copy then favourably generate a vector format (EPS or PDF) as a master. If you need BeeTaggs for online or normal prints then preferably use a grid pattern format, such as PNG or JPG. Please pay attention to the corresponding size if the BeeTagg in order to avoid quality losses when scaling later on.

Do not make the BeeTagg too small

The external dimensions should never be less then 20mm in order to enable older mobile phones with weaker cameras to reliably read the BeeTagg, as well.

Also in terms of usability, the BeeTaggs shouldn’t bee too small for they will often not be recognised as interactive elements anymore.

If you consider these precepts, you make sure that your BeeTagg application is functioning optimally afterwards.

If you feel insecure in any form, you can always send a draft of your designed means of communication (e.g. as a PDF) to support[at]beetagg.com. Our quality control will examine your data and send you a feedback on the important aspects and whether they are converted correctly.
