Verified Icon Style Guide

In the expansive network of Postman, numerous API producers with similar identities posed a challenge for API consumers in distinguishing the authentic ones. I led the task of collaborating with the Product Manager (PM) and other designers to address this issue. Our goal was to design and articulate a style guide for a verified icon, affirming the authenticity, utility, and trustworthiness of API teams. I personally crafted the icon to align with Postman's overarching iconography and detailed a style guide, specifying the icon's specifications and usage guidelines. Additionally, I designed an email template for notifying API producers upon receiving the verified icon. As a result of these efforts, the discovery of authentic APIs saw a notable improvement of 5.8%.

Style Guide

Since, Postman already had a design system for icons, keeping those guidelines in my mind, I personally crafted verified icon with the help of Senior Visual Designer. I also crafted the style guide for the verified icon, thereby making it easy to handover engineers to code and scale.

Interaction

I also designed how the interaction should be, when a user hover and clicks over the icon.

Notifying Teams

We decided to design an email template for notifying API producers upon receiving the verified icon. I also designed the thumbnail/OG tag that will appear when teams will share this achievement on social media.
