Line pattern

The KTH line pattern should bring to mind a dynamic intellect, where ideas and thoughts meet. Based on a grid, a pattern can be developed that gives the image of a drawing, a technical process, or a diagram.

How to use our line pattern:

Our line pattern can be used as a means to reinforce KTH as the sender but does not need to be applied to every instance. On pages 23-28 in the Brand guidelines you see examples of how the line pattern can be used.

  • The pattern can be placed on a background panel, on a full-bleed image, or on a background panel alongside an image. The pattern should not overlap both the background panel and the image.
  • For easy use of the line pattern, a number of ready-made patterns are available in different formats.
  • The development of new designs should always be done in collaboration with grafiskprofil@kth.se

Application of pre-made pattern files

By following these steps, you can easily incorporate the pre-made pattern into your design while maintaining its integrity.

  1. Insert the pattern file. Choose a pattern file that matches the area of your output, and insert the image in its entirety to cover the entire output area.
  2. Select suitable parts of the pattern. Crop, rotate, and/or mirror the pattern to create the desired pattern on the portion of your output that fits the content.
  3. Finalize the output. Select an appropriate background color , insert text , and any images to complete the output.

Templates and tools

To consider when using pre-made pattern files: 

  • Never place the line pattern behind text.
  • Never place the line pattern behind KTH's logotype (the clear space rule  applies).
  • The line pattern can be placed either over an image or on a background panel but should not overlap both.
