IVE ON

THE DESIGN GUIDELINES

These guidelines describe the visual and verbal elements that represent Grey Agency´s corporate identity. This includes our name, logo and other elements such as color, type and graphics.

Sending a consistent and controlled message of who we are is essential to presenting a strong, unified image of our company.

These guidelines reflect Grey Agency´s commitment to quality, consitency and style.

The Grey Agency´s brand, including the logo, name, colors and identifying elements, are valuable company assets.

Each of us is responsible for protecting the company’s interests by preventing unauthorized or incorrect use of the Grey Agency´s name and marks.

01

CORPORATE LOGO

LOGO INTRODUCTION Our Logo is the key building block of our identity, the primary visual element that identifies us. The signature is a combination of the the symbol itself and our company name – they have a fixed relationship that should never be changed in any way.

Attention: Use of any stylized, animated, hand drawn or other versions of a inofficial logo is not permitted. This undermines the logo system and brand consistency. Please consult with Grey Agency´s Trademark Licensing if you have any questions or need further help.

Recommended formats are: .eps | .ai | .png | .jpg | .tiff

The Desing.Inc Corporate Brand Guidelines 9 // 40

THE FULL LOGOTYPE

The Grey Agency´s Masterbrand or Corporate Logo comprises two elements, the logo symbol and logo type. The Logo Symbol is a powerful image evoking the culture of design services - the connection between the strength of communication and the different points that influence.

It has a particular relationship with the Agency´s name. The Logo Type has been carefully chosen for its modern and yet refined, highly legible style, which has been further enhanced by the use of upper case letters. The typeface is Montserrat Bold and has also been chosen to compliment and balance perfectly with the logo symbol.

THE LOGOTYPE

1) The Logo Symbol Consists of a powerful element evoking the culture of design services and a grey square backround.

The main logo is the dark logo used on white or colored backround.

For darker backrounds you will find an alternative on the right.

2) The Logo Title Carefully chosen for its modern and yet refined, highly legible style, which has been further enhanced by the use of upper case letters in gray tone of the chosen corporate color. The font that is used here is Montserrat Bold.

3) The Logo Dark Version - complete will be used when the backround color ist light colored.

4) The Logo Light Version - complete will be used when the backround color ist dark colored.

The corporate logo is presented through the use of colour as well as shape and form. The two corporate colours are Yellow and Grey. It is a fresh and appealing blend of colours chosen for their strong combination - modern - classic - timeless.

The Colours have been selected according to international standards as shown below and are easily implemented.

01

LOGO CONSTRUCTION, CLEARSPACE AND COMPUTATION

It is important to keep corporate marks clear of any other graphic elements. To regulate this, an exclusion zone has been established around the corporate mark. This exclusion zone indicates the closest any other graphic element or message can

0.5 x

be positioned in relation to the mark.of the the symbol itself and our company name – they have a fixed relationship that should never be changed in any way.

x

1.5 x

0.5 x

CLEARSPACE Full Logo

Definition Whenever you use the logo, it should be surrounded with clear space to ensure its visibility and impact. No graphic elements of any kind should invade this zone.

Computation To work out the clearspace take the height of the logo and divide it in half.

(Clearspace = Height / 2).

5) Do not change the size relationship between the logo symbol and logo type.

6) Never change the proportions of the logo vertically or horizontally or alter the appearance in any way

CORPORATE TYPOGRAPHY

02

THE CORPORATE FONTS AND TYPOGRAPHY

Typography plays an important role in communicating an overall tone and quality. Careful use of typography reinforces our personality and ensures clarity and harmony in all Grey Agency´s communications.

We have selected Montserrat and Source Sans Pro, which helps inject energy and enthusiasm into the entire Grey Agency´s communications, as the primary and secondary corporate typefaces.

PRIMARY FONT MONTSERRAT DESIGNER : JULIETA ULANOVSKY

THE FONT The old posters and signs in the traditional neighborhood of Buenos Aires called Montserrat inspired me to design a typeface that rescues the beauty of urban typography from the first half of the twentieth century. The goal is to rescue what is in Montserrat and set it free, under a free, libre and open source license, the SIL Open Font License.

CORPORATE GRID SYTEMS

05

THE GREY AGENCY GRID SYSTEMS

In graphic design, a grid is a structure made up of a series of intersecting straight (vertical, horizontal, and angular) or curved guide lines used to structure content. The grid serves as an armature on which a designer can organize graphic elements (images, glyphs, paragraphs) in a rational, easy to absorb manner. A grid can be used to organize graphic elements in relation to a page, to other graphic elements on the page, or relation to other parts of the same graphic element or shape.
