The preferred font for all labels is Gotham narrow Bold set at 15pt/18pt (the type

sizes change as the icon scales up and down) with neutral tracking. When Gotham

Narrow Bold is not available, the labels should use Arial narrow Bold set at

16pt/19pt with 0.03 tracking. A good rule is to roughly size Arial labels set in Arial

Narrow Bold 7% larger than Gotham Narrow Bold.

The optimal placement for a label is directly below an icon. However, if an icon’s label

must be placed elsewhere, the label can be placed above or to the side of an icon.

When an icon is placed to the side of an icon, the text should be vertically centered

with the icon and justified to the side adjacent to the icon.

An icon’s label should not be influenced by any modifier. The label’s vertical

placement should be positioned as if the modifier does not exist. This rule

applies for the vertical alignment of icons.

The text box should be roughly 150% - 200% the width of the icon. Regardless of width,

the text should be as evenly distributed across the lines as possible. When possible the

top line should be longer than the lower lines.

In this example, the label should be manually broken into two lines so that the label does not have such a wide profile.

17

The label’s font size does not increase linearly with the icon. Below is the

basic guideline for scaling a label up with an icon.

IndexerIndexer

The label’s font size does not increase linearly with icon. The larger the icon gets, the less the label’s font size increases.

As icon size increases, the space between icon and label tightens.

The label’s font size does not decrease linearly with the icon. Below is the basic

guideline for scaling a label down with an icon.

IndexerThe smaller the icon gets, the less the label’s font size decreases. The label should never go lower than 8pt.

As icon size decreases, the space between icon and label loosens.

19

G r o u P L A B e L G u I d e L I n e S

A group label is communicated with a 1px-stroke black bracket to the left of all

grouped elements. The label should be vertically center aligned to the bracket.

The group label should be given the same type treatment (e.g., typeface, font size,

leading and tracking) as an icon label.

When a group contains icons of varying height, the bracket extends to the height

of the tallest icon to the bottom of the icon, regardless if the icon is labeled. The

group label remains vertically centered with the bracket. Group brackets ignore the

decender of icon modifiers (such as operating system).

at its tail end denoting where the group ends. The element immediately following the

group should be spaced 80px away from the group’s end backet.

Black is always the primary color for icons. colors should be used sparingly and only

be to highlight an item in a diagram (to communicate used to state or call an item

out). Red signifies error, problem, etc. Dark blue signifies working, online, etc. Gray

signifies disabled, hidden, etc. Light orange signifies warning, attention, etc. Light

blue is intended for generic highlighting of a specific items in a diagram. Green is used

when an item needs to be explicitly called out as related to Splunk. For optimal clarity,

it is advised to include the status in the icon label.

All arrows should have a 1 pixel stroke with a solid dot at its start (if it is a

one-way arrow). The lines should contain no curves. All arrows should be

straight-edged.

Arrows should never have curves of any kind in them.

One-way arrows should always have a solid circle at the beginning of the line (roughly 4px in diam-eter).

Arrowheads should never contain curves. The style should always be angular and have approximately a 2:1 height/width ratio.

29

G u I d e L I n e S F o r A r r o W S , C o L o r S

Arrows should always be set on a white or light background. An arrow’s color

should default to black. If specific arrows need to distinguish themselves,

only the colors specified on page 19 should be used. The tips of the arrows

should always be the same color as the line. Arrows should always use a

solid color.

30

G u I d e L I n e S F o r o V e r L A P P I n G A r r o W S

Arrows that overlap should have a round hop-over on the right side. The size

of the hop should not be especially large, but it should be legible at regular

sizes. Overlapping arrows of different color do not necessarily need to have

hops.

31

G u I d e L I n e S F o r A r r o W S , P o I n t I n G t o I C o n S

Arrows can start or end on any side of an icon, but must meet the icon

orthogonally at the center of the icon’s side, when possible. If an icon has a

label, the arrow should start/end below the label.

S I M P L e A r r o W C o M P o S I t I o n

Arrows can be drawn directly from source to target as illustrated in the

example. Direct lines work well for small numbers of arrows between icons..

36

A r r o W o P t I C A L A d J u S t M e n t

The spacing of arrows can appear uneven based on the tilt of an arrow.

Therefore, the placement of arrows should always be adjusted to appear

evenly distributed to the human eye. The top example shows arrows that

have been optically adjusted compared to the bottom example in which all

arrow end-points are separated by 10 pixels.

37

A r r o W P L A C e M e n t G u I d e L I n e S

An arrow’s end-point placement should always be relative to the horizontal

order of the icon it originiates from. For instance, the right-most icon’s

arrows are always placed farthest to the right to the icon they are pointing

to.

38

A d VA n C e d A r r o W C o M P o S I t I o n

When arrow compositions become complex, a branched line style will help

organize lines into a more structured system. The branched line style helps

create less visual noise and more ordered line intersection.

39


Sometimes you will need to vertically offset each branch point to avoid

line hops at the point where a line should branch off. The vertical distance

needed to avoid placement conflicts will vary, but the distance should be

uniform for each set of arrows.

npxnpx

40


Arrow placement follows the same tenets of simple arrow composition.

Arrows originating farthest to the right have the endpoints placed farthest

to the right and vice-versa for left-most placed arrows..

In the case where icons need to point to other icons in a row, the arrows

point horizontally toward the target icon. In the case where the target icon

is occluded by another icon, the arrow breaks underneath the occluding

icon. The line segment that is underneath the occluding icon is signified with

a dotted line.
