Purpose

A sticker is artwork designed to express something more creatively and clearly than plain text.

Stickers can be used for a variety of phrases or expressions, but must serve a clear purpose for replacing a plain text reply.

Examples include:

• Greetings or responses

• Emotions, thoughts or feelings

• Activities

Sticker Guidelines

Approving stickers

The first question Kik asks when they review sticker submissions is, “How would this sticker be used?”.

Stickers are popular because they’re a fun way to communicate. The purpose of the design should be to help users express something to someone else that they both understand.

In order for a sticker to be approved, it should answer these two questions:

1. Is the expression/message readable and clear?

2. Would users know when to use it?

My stickers...

Can be used in a conversation

Are designed with a PG-13 mindset

Do not portray anything that promotes violence, hatred, racism, nudity or narcotics
