How to get a custom design theme for your visualizations

The charts, maps, and tables you create with Datawrapper can be fully customized to fit in with your organization’s design style guide. To do so, we will create a custom design theme for you that is selected by default every time you or your coworkers create a new visualization with Datawrapper.

This custom design theme is included in both the Custom and Enterprise plan. If you need more than one theme, you can add as many as you want for an extra fee. Visit our Pricing page to learn more.

What does the custom design theme entail?

The custom design theme can mean a change in font family, size & color, in background color and the color palette of all visualizations, extra borders or padding or adding a logo. For example, The Times asked us to add a black line on the top of their charts, De Tijd wanted a logo, and both of them requested a change in background color and custom typefaces.

Visualizations created with your custom design theme will look like they're internally produced by your graphics team. They won't even include a Datawrapper attribution.

How do I get a custom design theme?

Once you’ve signed up for a Custom or Enterprise plan, our support team will reach out to you to begin the customization process. For your custom theme, please send us at least the following:

  • Typography specifications, including font files or links to access your fonts
  • Colors to fill out the color palette options
  • Your logo, if you want it included

Feel free to send us your official style guide, or any other specifics you’ve envisioned, and we’ll work directly with you to incorporate it into your custom theme.

How long does the process take? 

Setting up your custom theme will take us around one week. Once the first version is completed, it will be enabled for you in Datawrapper and can be fine-tuned based on your feedback.
