IDENTITY
THE LOGO

Brand Guidelines V1
Our Logo
logotype
We use the same version in print, on screen, and on the side of our building. It’s simple, no drop shadows, glossy reflections, or flashy graphic effects.
Logo
The symbol Actually consists of a simplified heart from organic to geometric by combining a hexagon shape which represents a behive in its unity and support, and the heart shape which represents love, trust and care. Those all are parts of company traits.
Symbol
Our logo is the most visible element of our identity, It’s a guarantee of quality that unites our services. It is bold, simple and graphic statement. It signifies love, care, trust, support and unity. It is made up of two elements: The Symbol and logotype.
25%
Logo Clear Space To ensure that our Logo is clearly visible in all applications, surround them with sufficient clear space —free of type, graphics, and other elements that might cause visual clutter—to maximize the recognition and impact of our identity. To ensure the integrity and legibility of the logo lock-ups, the area directly surrounding them should be protected. When the logotype or full name is used, a clear space of 25% the symbol’s height and width should be maintained. 9

TYPOGRAPHY 12
Brand Guidelines V1
PRINT AND WEB TYPEFACE Use Adobe Hebrew for all communications where possible. It's flexible, easy to read abd accessible. It's uniquely suited for wide range of visual communications. Multiple levels of typographic hierarchy are defined bath for impact and clarity of our communications. 1-Adobe hebrew regular is used for all body texts.
LOGO TYPEFACE
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 0123456789 — &*#@?!/+(.,:;)
ASA's primary typeface is copperplate( I t's adjusted by removing some serifs to make it suitable to the company's identity) When to use: Only in the logo.
2-Adobe hebrew blod italic is used for all headlines ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 0123456789 — &*#@?!/+(.,:;) 3-Adobe hebrew blod is used for all titles ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 0123456789 — &*#@?!/+(.,:;)
TYPESETTING GUIDE The text should always be aligned to the left. It makes it easier to keep reading. The leading in the headlines should be 9% larger than the body text size. To calculate, multiply the type size by 0.9 and add the result to the type size.
