Local Social Avatars (currently available for 34 countries)

Dear Friends,

We absolutely love the Social Media channels that you are running entirely on your own. We appreciate the time and effort that you put in them. Inspired by your zeal and love, we designed a few Social Avatars for you to help give your channel a unified look. And the new look will also help align your page to the Waze brand. You can access these assets from our Social Media hub site.

Why did we create new Community Social Avatars?
These social avatars give you a chance to authentically represent your country from national flag colors to official sports uniforms or other iconic cultural symbols.
It also helps keep the Waze brand identity unified across social platforms and our communities.

How it currently looks Vs What it could look like:

The new look gives an opportunity to each country to have a special take on our official Waze profile photo that uniquely represents them.

What assets are we talking about?

1)You get a brand new profile photo with a clear visual hierarchy with a large Wazer in the foreground with the national colors in the background. This makes each individual page feel a part of the Waze world. The profile photo is available in circular and square shapes, in multiple sizes.

2)The Facebook cover photo in English with the community name in the center with the national colors in the background to give it a simple clean look.

3)You will get a packaged Ai file, including fonts, for translation purposes only. Please use it for only that purpose for font licensing reasons.

From where can you get the assets?
Click here to get your community-specific assets. Please let us know if you don’t see the assets for your country and would like to have them created for you.

Are you ready to own the look?

We would love to hear what you think about these community-centered social avatars.

We absolutely love them and we want to know what you think. :slight_smile:

Irrespective of where we are in the world, we are all Wazers though we may be a bit different. And united in purpose while maintaining our unique identities.

So, what do you think?
Leave your thoughts below.

We hope you enjoy using these Social Avatars as much as we loved creating them for you. Thanks for building an engaged community on your social media channels. :slight_smile:

If you miss the Belgium Avatars, look into the German Folder. You won’t find a german Avatar anywhere :roll:

Hi,

Great news, love the idea. It’s possible to build a one for Reunion Island ? Our flag.
Thanks in advance :wink:

Still waiting for colour fix for Finnish ones since the blue used in these is way off from the official one, those are almost purple…

Also waiting for the Swiss one to be a Switzerland flag and not Denmark and/or the flag of the french region of Savoie :stuck_out_tongue:

Seems that anyone changed the Germany Avatars, but the colours are in wrong order again :frowning: .
At the moment in Avatar:
red
gold
black

correct would be:
black
red
gold

Hi,

But there ist a Problem your Version looks like the Avatars for Switzerland:

Austria - Profile Photo - Circle 180px.png

Because the Austrian Flag ist the following:

The Avatar should look like my hand-made one:

Could you be so kind and change it?

Thanks

Sure!
