    Depicting Cards in Communications

    When actual or "mock-up" cards are used, they must follow these guidelines and must be at size, color, and frequency parity with other cards depicted.


    When depicting MasterCard®, MasterCard Electronic™, Maestro®, or Cirrus® cards, use an actual financial institution card or mock-up card approved by MasterCard Worldwide. Card artwork is available to registered vendors and issuers through the Card Design Standards System located at MasterCard OnLine.

    1. Displaying Single Cards

      When displaying a single card, the entire card face must appear and must not be distorted.


    2. Displaying Multiple Cards

      When displaying multiple cards, the entire Brand Mark must be visible on at least one of the cards depicted.


    3. Size, Color, and Frequency Parity with Other Card Products

      All MasterCard, MasterCard Electronic, Maestro, and Cirrus cards must be depicted at size, color, and frequency parity—appearing in the same size, color, and frequency treatment—with all other cards depicted in the same communication.
