Sticker Guidelines
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

Popular expressions
It’s a good idea to design for commonly used expressions when planning your stickers. Standard emojis are a great reference for this.

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?
