DirectID Brand Guidelines

A strong brand is one of the most valuable assets an organisation owns. These guidelines are to help represent our brand consistently.

Primary Logo

The logo is the most visible element of our identity -a universal signature across all communications. It is a guarantee of quality that unites our offer.

Because the logo is such a recognisable and highly visible brand asset, it is vital that it is always applied consistently wherever it appears.

Logo Usage

Exclusion Zone.
To ensure the logo has maximum impact always keep the area around it clear. This space is called the exclusion zone. The exclusion zone protects the logo from other visual and graphics elements. The exclusion zone is derived from the height of the D as illustrated.

Minimum Size.
To maintain legibility, the DirectID logo should never be reproduced any smaller than width 25mm or 70px.

Logo Applications

Our logo should always be applied in the clearest and most brand conscious light. Primarily, the DirectID marque should be set in light blue and either on white or dark blue backgrounds. For secondary applications,such as social posts and marketing materials, it can also be set in dark blue or white on backgrounds of any of our secondary palette.

Logo Best Practice

Our logo is one of our most precious assets.As a result, it should only be displayed as defined in these guidelines, and should not be applied incorrectly. Examples of bad practice are shown in, but not limited to, the examples here.

Hero Imagery

For front pages of documents,website homepage headers and other principal applications of the brand, the hero imagery style should be used. This style is created from the abstract architectural style set in an overlay of our dark blue brand colour.
