Logo and Legal Text in Paid Ads
For the logo, the four corner squares are subdivided into four smaller squares, creating secondary squares in each corner. These secondary squares generate a line that evenly bisects the margin squares. This line serves as a reference for placing the DiDi primary logo in the top right corner—ensuring maximum visibility and brand recognition—aligned with the intersection of this line.
The legal text is positioned at the bottom of the layout, directly below the orange guiding line, and must be left-aligned with the secondary squares. Additionally, the cap height of the text should occupy the middle section of these divisions. The legal text must always be displayed in white to ensure proper contrast with the background or Raisin Black, always prioritizing readability.
Story
Instagram Stories should be dynamic, fast, and always on-brand. In this section, you’ll find the key elements to create engaging stories that capture attention from the first second and drive interaction.
