Static call to action lockup guidance
Follow these guidedlines for any static, non-interactive CTAs that link people to your Pinterest profile. If your audience is more familiar with Pinterest, you can simply use your Pinterest account handle. If your audince isn’t as familiar with Pinterest, you might want to write out your full account URL for clearer context. In all cases you may use your own brand typeface.

Broadcast and social

Broadcast and social lockups should always include clear links to your Pinterest profile. Use of our badge without a link to your own account incorrectly implies a partnership, sponsorship or endorsement.

To use Pinterest in video, television or film, you must submit a written request to your partner manager at Pinterest. The partner manager needs to review each potential use. Please reach out at least 10 business days in advance to avoid production delays.

Language

Acceptable call to action phrases

Our primary call to action is “Follow on Pinterest.” You can also use the following phrases to talk about your account:

Follow us on Pinterest
Popular on Pinterest
Find us on Pinterest
Visit us on Pinterest
Find more ideas on Pinterest
Get inspired on Pinterest

Unacceptable phrases
Never use any of the following phrases when referring to Pinterest:

Trending on Pinterest
Trending Pins
Any phrase that uses “Pin” as a verb (use “save” instead)

When can you say “Popular on Pinterest?”
A Pin is only considered popular if it registers high impressions, clicks or saves within Pinterest Analytics. Remember that Pinterest Analytics only shows your own Pin performance. To provide the right context, make sure to put your own Pinterest URL after any “Popular on Pinterest” labels.

Naming and visuals for your apps and services
If you’re creating an app, website or other service designed to be used with Pinterest, develop your own branding that doesn’t use Pinterest brand elements.

Don’t use “Pin,” “Pinterest” or any variations of “Pinterest” in your name or domain name.

Don’t use any Pinterest marks, logos, graphics or similar variations as part of your logo or branding.

Product depictions

When depicting Pinterest in your marketing, always make sure the interface matches the device. For example: when depicting Pinterest within a photo of a phone, make sure you’re using the mobile Pinterest interface. The same applies for tablet and desktop depictions. This applies to all elements of Pinterest, including Pins, boards, the grid view or any other element.

Please note that you are responsible for obtaining all rights to any imagery represented in your marketing materials.
