Instagram icon, usage and guidelines

The Instagram glyph icon is one of our most globally recognized assets. The primary use of the glyph is to promote your organization's presence on Instagram. Only use glyph files available from this site.

GLYPH ICON

When to Use the Glyph

Use the glyph to point to your presence on Instagram. The App Icon (shown below) is only used if you are showing it on a device with other apps or if you are encouraging people to download the Instagram app. If you’re representing Instagram in any other way, you should use the glyph.

Only use the glyph files available here. Our downloadable assets include a black glyph on a white background and a multicolor version. You can change the glyph to any solid color, as long as all other aspects of its design stay the same. We recommend showing the glyph in black or white. The glyph should always be paired with a call to action button (example: Follow us on Instagram!), unless you’re showing it in a lineup of social media icons.

Minimum Clear Space

Clear space ensures legibility and visual impact by isolating the glyph from competing visual elements. Determine the minimum clear space around the glyph by measuring one half of the glyph’s size on all sides.

Minimum Sizes

A minimum size ensures that the impact and legibility of the glyph is not compromised in application. Always maintain their set proportions and never show the glyph smaller than 29x29 pixels.
