Blank map of the UK and Ireland

The outline of the UK and Ireland is a small, simple shape, and that is why people use it: on a business card, in the corner of a report, behind a title slide, on a van or a leaflet. Choose Outline only for the land alone or With borders for the two countries drawn separately, then the file: a PNG with a transparent background, an SVG or a PDF.

Slides, reports and leaflets

For a team whose territory is the UK and Ireland, the transparent PNG sits happily on a title slide in the company colour, with the team's name beside it. A small version in the corner of each slide of a quarterly update shows where the figures come from. In a leaflet or a report cover, the Outline only version makes a quiet graphic that does not compete with the heading.

Design and craft

The SVG opens in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma and takes a colour, a pattern or a line style on each of the two shapes. A designer can use it for a logo sketch, a stamp or a sticker; with only two shapes, it is easy to simplify further, and to cut from card, vinyl or wood.

A short document

With so few shapes, a page for a leaflet or a report takes a minute to make: place the With borders PNG in a document and set a line of text beside each of the two shapes, in your own wording. A short note under each shape is all it needs, and the list further down this page gives the spelling of both names.

Which version

With borders is the political blank map of the UK and Ireland, and the right one when the two countries need to be told apart. Outline only suits anything where the pair is a single graphic. For a colour, name or title on the map, choose Customise this map. A map of either country on its own is on the blank map of Ireland or the blank map of the UK.
