Mellowbag / Brand Guidelines 7 // 36

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.

THE FULL LOGOTYPE The Mellowbag 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 Mellowbag 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 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.

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

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.

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).

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.
