Corner
The corner component belongs - like bubble, frame and marker - to the group of flashes.
Use the different flashes to emphasize messages with a strong meaning.
Recommendations#
- All flash elements should be used sparingly to avoid overload.
- Please use the corner only for one to three words.
- When entering text, mobile view (MD-XS) should be taken into consideration first.
- Too long text is truncated with ellipsis. 
Overall styling#
- The text-style depends on the component and is always basic bold.
- The line-height is always 120%.
- The corner has no hover- or focus-state.
Variants#
- The corner element is available in different colors, which are subcategorized into: positive and negative.
- There is an additional separation into top and bottom due to the readability of the text.

Our workflow in Sketch#
- Use the "Overrides"-function to change the text.

- The symbol has to be rotated by 45 degrees for the desired position.
- Detach the symbol for resize the element to your needs.
