When our brand logo is seen by someone for the first time it will tell our story. Designed to evoke a positive emotion. The next time, and every time after, it will trigger that same response. It will tell and keep re-telling our story. It’s the visual bedrock of our brand.
There are simply millions of brand logos worldwide. Even so, ours is unique. To be positioned and placed whenever and wherever we want our brand to be.
Our brand’s identity is expressed typographically in the form of a word, styled into a logo.
Variants of the logo are displayed here.
Whatever the medium, when applying the logo to our design, only the associated DOWNLOAD should be used. This ensures that brand consistency is maintained across all our branding materials – landing pages, social media, stationery, print advertising – and anything else you can think of.
Do
Ensure that the wordmark has an exclusion zone – on all sides – equivalent to the width of the uppercase letter S in the logo. If you are creating a bounding box, set a transparent margin (or padding) to 13% on all sides. The wordmark, Slackboy, will then sit comfortably in the centre, occupying 74% of the overall box width.
Don’t
Don’t distort the logo’s proportions. It can scale to any size, but both axes should manintain their dimensions relative to each other and to the orignal design.

Delivering your message.
Colour, especially a primary colour, may come first, evoking and affecting emotion. And our logo will strike a chord every time it’s seen.
But what next?
Next – we deliver our message. Through the use of typographical design in the form of fonts. Our fonts reflect our brand’s personality and resonate with our audience.
Two principal and complementary fonts are available for the main text elements of our design. Notably, headings and body copy.
A subtle variation within our secondary font family is available where monospace typography is required. The availability of a further secondary font gives us the option of distinguishing quotes and articles from body copy.
In each case, we apply as appropriate, being careful to follow the stipulations detailed below.
Our primary fonts are intended for headings and body copy.
The body copy font is used for hyperlinks(within body text) in standard sentence case. It is also used on calls to action (CTA’s) and buttons, but always in UPPERCASE. All instances should be in conjunction with our primary or secondary brand colors to catch the attention of our audience.

This is an example of how an article would read. A serif font like this is comfortable for the reader to follow in larger bodies of text.
The line and paragraph spacing helps the story to breathe and flow.
“This is an example of how quotes should be displayed. Quotes are always presented in italics and bookended by speech marks.”

Our secondary fonts are both proportional (variable-width) and monospace (fixed width). The proportional secondary fonts are used for quotes and articles. The monospace fonts are used for distinguishing single characters.
We use monospace fonts where we need to distinguish single characters.
Here you see how each character is fixed-width occupying the same horizontal space, as opposed to a proportional or, variable-width, font.
