TAGLINE The tagline “The Clear Difference� infers to Prisms top quality lenses. The tagline will sit just under the word mark and be centered. The typeface is Avenir Next Light Italics. When using a microscope its important to see the little things and the slight wisp of the italics below the more bold word mark makes it obvious.

TYPEFACE The word mark and the tagline both use Avenir Next which presents the image that Prism is looking for. This typeface has a very professional and modern look while also using a bit of elegance in its curvy letters like s and o. The type also has a consistent look throughout to further emphasise the dependability of Prism products.
