> Brandmark

We’re proud
of who we are

So here are a few things we do to keep our wordmark looking fresh.

> Brandmark /
Standalone

Don’t be shy. We think our wordmark looks best when it’s bigger than 10mm in print or 30px on digital assets.

> Brandmark /
Headline

Our wordmark looks great when it’s used as part of a headline. This is one of the ways our brand is unique, so we go for it whenever we can. When using The Digital Neighborhood in a headline statement, it must appear in ultra bold.

This way for
The Digital
Neighborhood

Examples:

Thriving in
The Digital
Neighborhood

Better connected
in The Digital
Neighborhood

> Brandmark /
Roundel

Our roundel comes out when there’s not enough space for the full wordmark in all its glory.
This could be an app icon or web favicon.

> Endorsements

Better connected
in The Digital
Neighborhood

We have created flexible guidance for
how and when to use the Endorsement line.

Guiding principles
01

To keep things
consistent, our
endorsement line is
always in Arial.

02

There are three colour options for the endorsement line. Please select the option that works best for legibility: black, white, or one of your practical and complementary brand colours.

03

‘Better connected’
is in regular, while
‘The Digital
Neighborhood’
is in bold.

Applications
01

The Endorsement line should always be used on your email signatures & on your brand websites.

02

Any other application is at your discretion. In instances where you want to use the endorsement line in a smaller space, it can be locked to your logo without the wordmark.

We’ve already done the hard work for you.

> Typography

Getting creative with our fonts is a big part of our identity

> Typography /
Primary typeface
PP Neue Machina
Inktrap Ultrabold
Inktrap Regular
Primary typeface

Unique and full of character, just like our Neighborhood. Inktrap Ultrabold adds impact to key messaging and headlines. In digital usage we don't do ligatures in headlines. Inktrap Regular should be used for supporting copy.

Licence

Each business has one license, valid for one desktop user only. You can get additional licenses directly from the font foundry, Pangram Pangram: hello@pangampangram.com

> Typography /
System typeface

Arial
Arial Bold

System typeface

Good old Arial. We use it when our primary typeface isn’t available or when we know the person reading the doc or deck doesn’t have a Neue Machina font license.

> Colors

We only use black and white. Our brands bring the color to the neighborhood.
