The logo has two elements: a logomark and a logotype. The logomark represents the hull of a ship, making waves, forging ahead. The type has been custom cut to create a unique logotype for Quess. Do not try to recreate the logo. Use the unit from the master artwork file. Reverse When the background takes on the brand colour blue, the logo is represented in white. Vertical When the canvas is taller, the vertically stacked logo may be used. Quess Corporate Identity & Brand Standard Manual 6 Logo Symmetry Quess Corporate Identity & Brand Standard Manual 7 Logo Black and White In case of embossing, engraving, etching and in situations where colour cannot be added, the black and white logo version is permitted. Minimum size To ensure that the subtle details of the logo are always reproduced clearly, do not go lower than the minimum sizes specified. Re-sizing should be done only by proportionately scaling the vector artwork. 2.5 cm 1.3 cm Exclusion zone A minimum clear space helps highlight the logo, giving it greater prominence. A clearly defined exclusion zone should, therefore, always be maintained around the logo. This is calculated by using the letter‘Q’ of the Quess logotype around the logo as illustrated here. Ensure that it is never compromised by any graphic, text or imagery. Quess Corporate Identity & Brand Standard Manual 8 Logo Dos The logo is used only against a white background. The logo is reversed when the background takes on the brand colour. The logo is reversed when placed on an image, provided the image has a tint of the brand’s blue colour. Don’ts Do not try to recreate the logo for any reason. Always use the unit from the master artwork file. Do not tilt Do not change the colour Do not shrink Do not rearrange the logo elements Do not use any effects Do not add gradients Do not add any shadows Do not interchange the transparent and opaque sections of the logomark The proportion of the logotype with respect to the logomark cannot change. The logotype can never be used without the logomark and vice versa. Quess Corporate Identity & Brand Standard Manual 9 Brand Colours Copper Sulphate Blue Resembling brilliant blue skies and crisp, fresh atmosphere, this colour is rare and mesmerising. It creates a pleasant environment, which immediately puts one at ease. Calmness fosters trust. Which begets loyalty. Pantone 313c R-00, G-156, B-206 C-100, M-00, Y-15, K-00 This magnificent blue is a positive colour and a mark of progress. It is indicative of the universe and its extraordinary scale. The multi-dimensional copper sulphate crystals are symbolic of the brand’s drive for multi-faceted growth. Steel Grey This colour is representative of maturity. With age comes experience, which sharpens wisdom. Maturity brings stability to any situation. Just like the colour grey stabilises strong hues. Making the colour indicative of steadfastness. Pantone Cool Grey 10C R-106, G-110, B-115 C-10, M-00, Y-00, K-75 This solid colour conjures composure and evokes the thought of a trustworthy and responsible friend. Quess Corporate Identity & Brand Standard Manual 10 Typography Comercially Printed Meterial As a serif font, it projects the seriousness of the brand. Its weight values make it highly effective for display applications including packaging, advertising and headlines. For headlines Linotype Centennial Light-Italic Roman-Italic Bold-Italic This font is to be used for body copy. It is preferred because of its legibility in smaller sizes and the way it complements the logotype. For body copy Sapient Sans Regular-Italic Medium-Italic Bold-Italic Office Typeface Cambria is the serif font selected for headlines for internally produced communications. For headlines Cambria Regular Bold Arial has been selected as an alternative sans serif typeface for internally produced communications for its clarity and wide availability. Arial should therefore be used for items such as emails, letters etc. For body copy Arial Quess Corporate Identity & Brand Standard Manual Regular Bold 11 Imagery The imagery needs to capture the main essence of the vision and mission of Quess. The images used need to showcase professional, skilled individuals eager to connect and help their business grow. The image style gives a direct message, which states,“We are here to do business.” The images should preferably have a blue and grey tone. If an image is multicoloured then multiply copper sulphate blue to it. Illustration Similar to the treatment of the logomark, the icons and illustrations should be minimalistic, flat and bold. They should be represented in brand colours only. Quess Corporate Identity & Brand Standard Manual 12 Layout We have three styles for laying out communication 1 2 Style #1 and #2 are to be used for content heavy communucation material, such as Flyers, Advertisements, etc. LOREM IPSUM DOLOR LOREM IPSUM DOLOR Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt.

E.g. Coverpage, captioned images. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet Graphic Element Owing to the minimal look and feel of the brand, a line is introduced to balance the layout. The thickness of the line is same as the thickness of the waves in the logomark. X Quess Corporate Identity & Brand Standard Manual 13 Layout Grid Vertical Grid for A3 and A4 sizes. In the grid, the logo is the base. Divide the width of the page by 3. That becomes the width of the logo on the layout. The corresponding height of the logo becomes the height for the each box of the grid. Using the Q of Quess, measure the margin around the borders. No headline or body copy should surpass the margin. Only images, background and type treated as image can bleed. Place a short headline here For longer headlines use this space. The exclusion zone of the logo defines the height of the page where no content can be placed. LOREM IPSUM DOLOR The blue line remains inside the margin.
