The logo is the most visible element of our identity. It unites our diverse range ofproducts. We use the same version in print and on screen. It’s simple.Easy to understand. No drop shadows, no glossy reflections, no flashy graphic effects. The logo is made up of two elements: the symbol and the logotype.

Typeography Primary Typeface Typography is an important aspect of our brand identity. Our typographic style contributes to our distinctive aesthetic. KB Blank Space Sketch is our main typeface. KB Blank Space Sketch is used for all headlines and titles. KB Blank Space Sketch is used for the Nerd Farm logotype.
Secondary Typeface Centuray Gothic Regular and Bold is to be used for the main body of text. In cases where a standard system font is required, in place of the prefered KB Blank Space Sketch font (such as sales presentations, Powerpoint documents, etc.) Centuray Gothic Regular and Bold should be used.
