This is the shape I mean:
If you were asking a colleague to design an advert with one of these in, what would you call it?
And, do graphic designers have names for both the spiky shape itself, regardless of what it’s being used for, and for the shape when it encloses the word “NEW” (or related words such as “SALE” and “SPECIAL OFFER”)?
Answer
- Burst
- Callout
- Bubble
- Splash
- Bastard Element
- Seal (at times, depending upon actual content, such as a guarantee)
These terms cover any shape in such a context. The appearance can be anything from a star to an ellipse, to a square, triangle.. etc.
