Hi folks,

What is the most common aspect ratio of an ellipse?
I am going to cut a bunch uf blanks, then vary the text.

Thanks,
Martin

I would think it is 1:1 :grin:

wouldn’t that be a circle?

Indeed it does have the special case name ‘circle’ although technically is still an ellipse.

I personally think 3:2 works well but obviously depends on what you plan to put inside it.

Aesthetically you might also try the golden ratio. Because this occurs so much in nature, the human eye is very comfortable with shapes of this proportion. It is 1.618033989 : 1
