Style, colors, and application guidelines for Trezor illustration.
Trezor brand illustrations follow a hand-drawn style based on the brand's core key values. The illustrations are meant to look playful, simple and support friendly feeling. It should look like if you were drawing them on a whiteboard, easily explaining virtual concepts or emotions behind the specific content.
We often use them to illustrate events or objects that are hidden in the virtual world - for example the representation of cryptocurrencies, functions or their attributes or the flow of blockchain transactions.
Illustrations are applied to a multi-coloured or monochrome background. The goal is to highlight the meaning of specific messaging and support visual identity. Below is a specification of the basic types of illustration application.
As stickers
In this case, we put the illustration directly on the photo, as if it were a sticker. The visual of the sticker should not overwhelm the content of the photo but complement the content communicated.
Blending with photography
The illustration is accompanied by manually drawn elements that must follow the visual style of the illustration. In this way the illustration is directly involved in the spatial perception of the photograph.
On solid colour
The illustration is placed on a monochrome background and works as a solitaire. In this case, it should directly communicate the necessary message. It can be combined with other illustrations, typography, renderings or graphic elements within one format.

State illustrations
As illustrations are used across Trezor digital products, there may be a need to support the semantics of the illustration with color. In these cases there can be used also different colors defined in design system.
When creating illustrations we use two views, a frontal 2D view or a spatial 3D view.
Building principles for illustrations
Our illustrations have several attributes that must be observed in their creation to always follow a uniform style. All illustrations are drawn with the dynamic illustrator brush, which responds to pen pressure on the tablet while drawing
