Shape expresses brand

Consistent use of shape throughout the end-to-end experience helps express our brand. Shape, applied strategically through an app, contributes to the overall impression a brand makes.

The Dropbox logo glyph itself leverages sharp edges to represent a box. As a wordmark, the glyph balances the rounded shape of the text and creates visual contrast.

The File Bubble

The File Bubble shape takes inspiration from Dropbox's iconography system, and more specifically, from the Sharp Circle shape.
