INNERACTIVE

We’ve rebuilt, from the ground up, a new company aesthetic and an efficient structure that will serve as the base for future expansion and innovation. These guidelines explain how to communicate and apply our reinvigorated brand identity in a consistent and inspiring way. From our inner values, to tone and visuals, this document gives you all the tools you need to implement our new look and personality into all Inneractive materials.

WHO WE ARE AN INTRODUCTION to our company. Inneractive Enterprises, Inc. is a professional corporation built on the principals of knowledge, forward movement, human potential and discovery. In this guide we outline the essence of our new brand. To successfully translate who we are, what we do and the values we stand for, our visual appearance must reflect this. We will build a consistent and strong company image that will empower us with a foundation for future growth initiatives and success. A powerful brand identity will be articulated and conveyed in graphics, slogans, communications and operations when an organization clearly understands its own core essence. Our core essence comes from a shared understanding of our values, purpose, target markets and vision.

We will continue to bring our dedication, genuine passion and care to utilize simple to use, effective and state of the art technology while embodying our core essence of inspiration, excellence and innovation. To showcase our brand’s efforts, we will support health, wellness and business development initiatives which will allow for us to engage and interact with the community at large.

THE NEW LOOK

INNERACTIVE
VARIATIONS FULL LOGO combines the Inneractive wordmark with the pyramid. This is the standard company logo and should be reproduced in full color whenever possible to capture the color-spectrum inside the pyramid.
FULL LOGO WITH TAGLINE is the same as above but with the addition of our tagline. It is written in the same font as INNERACTIVE, but lowercase and in a lighter grey
expanding human potential
to keep the focus on the brand name.
WORDMARK Inneractive’s wordmark uses a customized fontface based on Walkway SemiBold. The dot in the middle of the A can be interpreted as a stylized eye and makes the otherwise simple text iconic.
PYRAMID STAMP can be used at a smaller scale than the other versions and reads well as an icon. For design purposes, the shadow may be removed - but it is best to keep consistency. The solo pyramid may be used as a “stamp” on Inneractive promotional material & packaging. The symbolism behind the pyramid form is vast and spans many culture’s histories. Captured inside the triangular form is a color-prism based on the LED light spectrum. Note that there is subtle variation on the solo pyramid’s white inside triangle & shadow that makes it different from the one used in the full logo.

UNAUTHORIZED VARIATIONS Do not change the colors Do not skew or rotate Do not stretch disproportionately Do not change the font or text Do not attach anything to the Inneractive logo (except the tagline, as designated on page 12.) Do not use the pyramid from the full logo as the stamp (they are subtly different)
Inner ctive
New Product! BACKGROUNDS It is highly recommended the Inneractive logo ONLY be used on clean white backgrounds. If it a background is unavoidable, follow the below guides: - Only use very light or pale color backgrounds - the shadow must blend into the background to avoid a white halo around the grey. - Do not use dark colors (unless using the proper logo variation for a dark background, shown on page 8.) - Do not use jarring patterns or gradients
10
INNERACTIVE
SPACING LEAVE SOME BREATHING ROOM around our logo! To keep with our new brand identity, space is essential. Crowding content can look unprofessional. You can simply use an element from inside the logo to determine if the design has enough padding.

THE TAGLINE expanding human potential “EXPANDING HUMAN POTENTIAL� EXPLAINS THE POWER of what we aim to do through our creative and innovative products and services. We establish ourselves as a developing, technological and strong corporation that brings state of the art inventions to society to help businesses and individuals discover and increase their self-awareness and potential. Through such innovation and discovery, we are able to deliver a sense of growth, prosperity and an overall engaging and exciting experience to all we come in contact with. We enable a sense of connectedness and awareness through our vision to inspire and enhance the lives of individuals and businesses with all of our product lines, services and quality support. This tagline when combined with our corporate logo, establishes a framework within itself of who we are, what we stand for and what our purpose is without extensive explanations required.
COMBINING THE TAGLINE
expanding human potential ONLY THE TAGLINE may be combined with the corporate logo. It must appear as above, in lowercase Walkway SemiBold font using Pantone Cool Grey 8. Center this text directly below the logo, leaving some breathing room for the shadow. The dots may or may not be used.

INNERACTIVE
OUR BRANCHES CATEGORY PRODUCT LINES help us organize what we offer and distribute it directly to the right consumers. Each Branch relates back to Ineractive’s core values, but offers a personalized look and feel to appeal to specific target markets. Using Inneractive as our corporate brand, we plan to further develop our image and range of services through these Branches - they give us the ability to expand into new markets at any given time. By building a hierarchy effect with the multiple Product Lines, we will define clear boundaries, maintain a strong connection to our parent brand and leave room for future growth. InnerEnergy is a category of Inneractive which incorporates the technology of human energy imaging into live digitized video feedback. These products will seek to change the existing market by bringing easy to use technology backed with years of research, commitment and quality assurance to not only make us a reliable manufacturer and distributor of human energy imaging products, but create inspiration and insight for our potential buyers and society at large. Our product lines in this division are geared towards wellness, business development and self-transformation - they continue to evolve and progress with new bonus features, software enhancements and increased outreach through additional languages and reporting tools. InnerSocial brings our technology into businesses, networking and connection events on a more business development driven perspective. Although this division targets a different market than the InnerEnergy division, we will still maintain the authenticity of the corporate Inneractive brand by upholding our values and goals in all business enterprises. InnerSocial uses a smaller, more simplified version of the InnerEnergy software to incorporate colors, moods and personalities and create a fun tool for reflection and social interaction. The reports promote interaction between event attendees and work as a great ice breaking tool for conversation starters - plus offer unique marketing opportunities for the host. InnerYoga is an upcoming category of the Inneractive brand that will seek to bring innovative biofeedback and human computer interface technologies into the yoga and wellness markets. We aim to use LED light-feedback technology to create products that show practitioners their levels of balance and body weight distribution. This new and exciting level of technology will incite self-awareness and help people visually see their level of balance while practicing yoga.

EFFECTIVE TARGETING WE HAVE A GROWING TARGET MARGET not to mention a growing family of products! We are able to differentiate between the different markets using our category lines. Below we’ve outlined the ideal market of each branch: InnerEnergy | Our global target market will include alternative medicine practitioners, holistic retailers and healers as we aim to be their source of business development and service enhancement. InnerSocial | The products in this division are aimed at corporate events, symposiums and tradeshows where a memorable and lasting impression will be created by engaging users with interactive technology. Our fun and simple reports and images will relay information from collected biofeedback data and serve as an engaging marketing tool. This exciting and amusing technology is meant to be easy and accessible for a wider range of businesses and corporations to create a memorable and stand-out experience for professionals and the public. InnerYoga | This line will enable interactive feedback from yoga instructors to help their students enhance their level of practice and attain growth in their abilities. We will bring our level of passion, dedication, modern technology and outreach into the untapped yoga market to distribute products and create an entirely new level of physical and mental understanding in the practices of yoga. THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND when creating content for the category lines: Each line has been thought out to have a certain look, feel and tone of delivery. For example, even though a typical InnerSocial buyer may be using a similar product to an InnerEnergy customer, they may not be familar with the same terminology - so the use of more metaphysical references, like “aura” and “chakra” must be avoided. In that same line of thought, InnerEnergy clients are seeking a product with therapy or health benefits so the written and verbal content should emphasize this.
14
INNERACTIVE
PRODUCT LINE CATEGORIES TO MAINTAIN A STRONG PARENT COMPANY we have decided to diffuse a similar aesthetic across ALL of our product lines. This creates uniformity and relates the customer back to Inneractive’s company goals, values & customer dedication. We’ve used the Walkway SemiBold font:
InnerEnergy InnerSocial InnerYoga Note that the latter part of the Product Line is emphasized in the darker grey. As we continue to expand our company and welcome additional branches, we may choose to assign one Pantone color to each Product Line to help with organization and easy visual differentiation. This color could be used in place of the darker grey for added personality.

OUR COLORS A MIRIAD OF COLOR is borrowed directly from the LED color spectrum, to reflect our commitment to cutting-edge human-based technology. They can be dived between warm & cool color palettes. Charcoal grey (#1) is a more welcoming alternative to black and should be used for the majority of text. Cool Grey (#2) may be used to compliment, but should be avoided for lengthy sentences or paragraphs. Any of the below colors may be used solo or in combination as accents for Inneractive.

SINGLE-PANTONE LOGOS WHEN APPLIED TO THE LOGO any of the 16 Pantone swatches may be applied in a range of tints to achieve the prism effect, but with the use of just one color. This is a good option if you are looking to save ink, but it should never be used as a feature logo - instead use the standard full logo. In the future, should we decide to use certain colors for our Product Lines, we may use these colorspecific logos within certain designs where the logo should not stand out too much. The single-Pantone pyramid may not be used on its own - as the pyramid stamp - only in conjunction with the wordmark as shown below.

FONT FACES WALKWAY SEMIBOLD is the Inneractive font - it is used as the basis for the logo, and as complimentary text for headers and other large titles. When writing the Inneractive logo, it must be done in ALL CAPS. For Inneractive branches use camel-case: InnerEnergy, InnerSocial - note that only the “I” and first letter of the Product Category Line are capitalized, in this case the “E” and “S” respectively.

HELVETICA LT is used for all body text. It is a clean, crisp and modern font suitable for both medium and small size text. It is highly legible with open forms that are less heavy than other san-serifs. Various weights are avaialble. HELVETICA LT BLACK can be used for dramatic emphasis and compliments best when used in ALL CAPS, such as in this document.

The full collection of styles for HelveticaNeue is quite large, so they are often numbered. For Inneractive, only the Extended font styles 53, 33, 43, 63 and their variations (Regular, Bold, Oblique, or Bold-Oblique) should be used.
ALTERNATIVE FONTS ARIAL is a perfect alternative for Helvetica, as it has the same proportions, width and line weight. For web text content, Arial is a good default as not all computers universally have Helvetica. TREBUCHET MS is secondary font alternative that is web-safe, though it is not as close a match.
