How this list was compiled

A list of 136 design team names written by Wheel of Teams on 2026-10-02 and filed in four groups. Every name is built on a word designers use: white space, kerning, a grid, a wireframe, a button, a logo, a press proof or a floor plan. None was taken from a software product, a typeface, a company or a designer, and any match with a real team is a coincidence. The words were looked up on 2026-10-02 in Wikipedia's Graphic design, Typography, Kerning, Grid (graphic design), White space (visual arts), Page layout, Color theory, Pixel, Logo, Mood board, Website wireframe, User interface design, User experience design and Interior design articles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphic_design, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typography and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interior_design lead to the rest), text under CC BY-SA 4.0. Compared by script the same day with every other list on this site: no name is repeated. Nothing was checked against a trademark register. Licence: own work
