New Characters Please

Hi Articulate:

I'd love for us to get some new characters. They're a bit dated. Any knowledge of when that may happen?

  • Hi Michael!

    I'm happy to share this request with our design team! I'm interested to hear what you have in mind. Are there specific features or characteristics you're looking for when choosing a character?

    Once I understand exactly what you're looking for, I'll pass the details over to our team!

      Hi There:

      I'd like to see a larger variety of characters to choose from in a corporate environment that are business casual. The ones currently available also feel dated so it would be nice if you could provide newer, fresher characters. Last year, a customer service member told me that new characters were coming out this year. Any information about that?

      Thank You,

        Thank you for those details, Michael! I've created a feature request to share with my team on your behalf. 

        I don't have an update to share publicly yet regarding new characters in the Content Library. When we have an update to share, I'll make sure to share it in this discussion.

      Good Question!  I too would like new characters... if you would kindly provide law enforcement characters or just add ems characters without the pin on the collar and patch on the sleeve. I'm tired of adding blue patches to cover up the pins and poses that hide the patches.

    I'd like to make the same request. The clothing of the photographic characters is very dated for 2023. I am looking for male and female business casual attire that works in a more 'work from home environment'.  The female characters have dated hairstyles and heavy makeup. Christy, Nicole, Rosie and Gianna are all very dated in terms of attire and jewellery.  Also, too many female characters have bare shoulders. Not always appropriate for certain cultures. Thank you.

    It would be great to have a greater variety of photographic characters (from business to casual). Many of them look very "American" and are not ideal for all use cases. As the others mentioned the clothes look also a bit dated and would need a refresh to be fit for the future. 

  • I think the best place to get a diverse set of characters is from a company whose main focus is on characters. 

    I've used https://elearningart.com. They've always had a nice variety, and they add new characters regularly. Yes, you have to pay a licensing fee. But it's pretty reasonable if you need a lot of characters. It also includes backgrounds.
