(2D & 3D) Logo Introduction
Revoluteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s logo is formed by a bold grain of sand which disintegrates to reveal what is within. It is a representation of the brand and what they aim to do- bring change with time travel. A 2D and 3D version of the logo has been created to cater to digital and print applications, as well as the visual prioritisation of logo and icons. When the logo is the main focus, the 3D version is used and the icons present will be in their 2D version, vice versa.
The 3D version of Revoluteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s logo has a harsh gradient beneath and a mild gradient overlapping on top.
The 2D version of Revoluteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s logo is 1C and has the same structure.

(2D & 3D) Logo Colour Variations

(2D & 3D) Icons Introduction
Revoluteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s icons consist of three categories- Medical, Humanitarian and Environmental. These groups encapsulate the main issues that Revolute targets and are a representation of the three individual teams they are building to go on the venture. A 2D and 3D version of the icons has been created to cater to digital and print applications, as well as the visual prioritisation of logo and icons. When the icons are the main focus, the 3D version is used and the logo present will be in it 2D version, vice versa.
Medical
Humanitarian
Environmental
The 3D version of the icons are within a circular structure and each icon holds objects (3 pills, a .22 caliber bullet and a piece of coral) that are a prime factor to each category.
Medical
Humanitarian
Environmental
The 2D icons are twin in structure to the 3D icons, except the gradients and tones are replaced with clean and angled strokes.

(2D & 3D) Icons Colour Variations
Revoluteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s icon colour variations consist of tertiary colours- turquoise, scarlet and violet. The 2D icons are always strictly 1C. The 3D icons use a range of two tone to three tone gradients that revolve around the same colour scheme.

Brand Tone
As a pioneering brand, Revolute has a strong foundation to build and they require lots of press coverage and strong copyright to gain the attention and most importantly, trust of people as a reliable brand that is taking action and is true to its mission. Revolute’s tone would be factual, questioning and neutral.
Factual
Facts and statistics will be stated and used to show urgency. This is a factor that creates brand relevance. It is essential to show the importance of the subjects and issues that Revolute is targeting.
“EBOLA: 5481 PEOPLE INFECTED 0 VACCINES AND O CURES”
Questioning
A questioning tone would be to trigger people’s thoughts and to create awareness towards their surroundings and actions.
“We can’t take back what’ve lost. But we can prevent a losing cause.”
Neutral
It is crucial that Revolute stays neutral with its tone and does not use any labels or direct their cause towards specific races or religion. Revolute is a brand that serves to aid the world and is not influenced by politics. Instead of “50 Africans”, it would be “50 people” and this will create a sense of balance to responses.
“180 Million People are Missing.”
Pg 39
Brand Imagery
Revoluteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imagery will be clear, vibrant and macro. The macro element ephasizes on the brand using time travel as a tool of analogy. This allows things and scenarios to be amplified and looked at in clear detail.
Pg 41
Secondary Graphics
Revoluteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secondary graphics consists of a simple element- dots. The circular structure and its versatility as a graphic shapes the brand and creates the illusion of motion which is a key factor that defines Revolute and its tool. The following graphics are used for both print and digital collaterals and are also animated for interactive purposes.
