Visual Examples

Character animation
Icon animation

Flat Geometric style

Our animation style is informed by the shapes within the architecture of our symbol. The clean geometric lines and on-brand colors help to build a cohesive and effective look that is easy to expand upon.

Pictographic style

Our pictographic illustrations and animations are monochrome line drawings in our signature Fannie Mae Navy and/or a neutral color palette.

Iconographic style

Icons work well across all media types as visual call-outs. All Fannie Mae icons are built with a shared architecture and grid to maintain a cohesive weight, size, and look.
