The term design element combines several elements such as signations, jingles, Layouts, Logos, station ID‘s, commercial separators etc. These are short elements that mainly serve visual aspects of the channel; they can only be scheduled in the Planner. There are different types of design elements, which can be created and edited in Admin > Edit parameter > Design element type.

Examples for design element types:

• Signations: Each channel has a specific channel indication, similar to a channel logo that makes the channel distinguishable from others. This channel indication is scheduled mostly directly before or after program events (films, movies etc.). 
• Jingle: Usually a jingle is a short form of a signation. 
• Boards: Boards are standard design elements with a program indication or other information in text form that can also be designed without moving elements or film sequences. 
• Count-down board: Count-down boards are scheduled directly before a program. They announce the next program by counting down up to its start.
