At a glance

Brand standards that protect recognition and trust.

Our logo, typography, and color palette are core to Wangard’s visual identity. Using approved files, consistent spacing, and the correct colors helps ensure every touchpoint feels unified and credible.

Use approved logo files

Don’t recreate, modify, or “clean up” the mark. Use official downloads for digital and print.

Keep clear space

Always maintain an exclusion zone around the logo for clarity and legibility.

Stay on palette

Use primary brand colors as the foundation, with neutrals to support layout and readability.

Use Gotham typography

Maintain a clean sans-serif system across web and print materials for consistency.

Logo usage

Appropriate logo usage

Our logo should always appear crisp, properly spaced, and proportionally scaled. Maintain a clear exclusion zone around the mark and use approved file formats for the output you need.

Sizing

  • No maximum size: scale as needed when quality is maintained.
  • Digital minimum width: 90px @ 150 PPI.
  • Print minimum width: 1.5" @ 600 DPI.

Clear space (exclusion zone)

Always allow a minimum space around the logo or icon. Don’t crowd it with text, edges, or other marks.

Icon-only use

The icon can represent the brand when the full logo won’t fit or where the mark is already well recognized (e.g., social avatars, app/favicon icons, signage, merchandise).

Do

  • Scale proportionally.
  • Use approved brand colors, black, or white.
  • Maintain clear space for visibility.
  • Ensure strong background contrast.

Don’t

  • Stretch, skew, rotate, or recolor the icon.
  • Apply gradients or outlines.
  • Place on busy/low-contrast backgrounds.
  • Combine with unapproved text or shapes.

Color palette

Primary + secondary colors

Primary brand colors should lead. Secondary neutrals support layouts, backgrounds, and readability. Use consistent values across digital (HEX/RGB) and print (CMYK).

Accessibility note

Ensure strong contrast between text and background colors, especially in digital graphics and web content. When placing the logo or icon, choose backgrounds that keep the mark clear and legible.

Typography

Gotham type system

Gotham is the primary brand typeface for web and official print materials. Keep typography clean and consistent, and avoid serif fonts (except within the logo).

Recommended weights

  • Gotham Light — body and long-form readability
  • Gotham Medium — subheads, labels, UI
  • Gotham Bold — headings and emphasis
  • Italic variants — limited, purposeful emphasis

Usage rules

  • Web + official print: use Gotham as the primary typeface where available.
  • Internal letterhead printing: sans-serif substitutes are acceptable if Gotham isn’t available.
  • Avoid serif fonts on web and printed documents (logo is the exception).

Practical web fallback stack

If Gotham isn’t available in a browser context, use a clean sans-serif fallback:

font-family: Gotham, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

Note: If you want Gotham to render consistently on the website, it should be properly licensed and served via webfont files.

Simple layouts, legible type, and intentional hierarchy.
