Graphics are hyperlinked to areas of the website with more information about that fact.
- Information graphics are to be a single, approved color, although varying opacities may be used
- Dimensions are 417px x 417px. Graphics are scaled to various sizes
- Graphics should be iconic in nature and use flat design. Photos should never be used.
- Graphics must be in .gif or .png format, with a transparent background
- Graphic color must provide contrast with the background it's placed on.
