05 — Brand Usage

Do's & Don'ts

Do

  • Use the logo only in the four approved brand colors
  • Maintain clear space equal to ½ the logo height on all sides
  • Use Neue Haas Grotesk (DM Sans web) for logo and display text
  • Apply yellow as a purposeful accent — never decorative fill
  • Use black as the dominant background throughout
  • Use blue for links, labels, and technical elements
  • Respect minimum sizes: 2cm print / 75px digital
  • Maintain clear visual hierarchy — one strong idea per section
  • Use the stacked logo on dark backgrounds, wordmark on light

Don't

  • Stretch, skew, rotate, or distort the logo in any way
  • Place the logo on busy, textured, or low-contrast backgrounds
  • Add shadows, glows, outlines, or 3D effects to the logo
  • Use unapproved colors outside the official brand palette
  • Mix more than two typefaces in a single composition
  • Use yellow for long body text — reserved for accents only
  • Reproduce the logo below the minimum sizes
  • Use generic, staged, or overcorporate stock imagery
  • Make technology sound magical or overpromise AI outcomes
