Welcome to Secured Finance's comprehensive logo usage guide. Our logo is a visual representation of our brand's identity, and its consistent application is crucial in conveying a cohesive brand identity. This guide offers detailed instructions to ensure our logo is used correctly and consistently.
The Secured Finance logo has been meticulously designed with two primary versions to ensure adaptability across various backgrounds:
Ensure that the colors are accurately represented in all applications to maintain brand consistency.
Note for Printing: When using Pantone colors, ensure accurate representation. If specific Pantone shades are unavailable or unsuitable for a particular print medium, use the provided alternate Pantone colors or consult the Hex, CMYK, and RGB references.
For situations where full-color production isn't feasible, the reverse version of the logo is recommended.
The "S Logo" is a distilled representation of the Secured Finance brand, encapsulating its essence in a compact form. Designed with a sphere encompassing a prominent "S", this logo variant is tailored for applications where space is limited or where a simplified brand mark is required. Its minimalist design ensures immediate recognition, making it ideal for app icons, favicons, and other digital touchpoints where clarity and quick brand recall are paramount.
Centering the S Logo: The "S Logo" is a unique blend of the letter "S" and an accentuating sphere. When positioning the logo, the centering should be based around the "S" as it's the primary element, with the sphere serving as a complementary accent. This means that the visual weight and focus should be on the "S", ensuring it occupies the central position in any design or application.
In collaborative or partnership scenarios with Secured Finance, our brand's distinctiveness and recognition are paramount.
For co-branding efforts, the preferred choice is the full horizontal wordmark logo of Secured Finance. This extended layout ensures our brand name remains clearly visible and maintains its prominence, even when placed alongside other logos.
It's essential that the Secured Finance logo stands its ground. It should neither be overshadowed nor dominated by other entity logos. The goal is to achieve equal prominence, reflecting a true collaborative spirit while upholding our brand's integrity.
To maintain the logo's integrity and readability:
Ensure a minimum area of isolation around the Secured Finance logo. This space should be equivalent to the height of the 'S' in the Secured Finance signature. Always respect this space for clarity and prominence.
Avoid placing the logo too close to other text, graphics, or images.
Ensure that the colours are adhered to when designing marketing assets. The colours can be mixed in different combinations, but care should be taken to ensure that secondary colours that are meant to be highlights are used sparingly. Main brand colour: Star Blue #5162FF Main background colour: Universe Blue (Black) #002133
Includes: Secured Finance logos in dark and light versions and a variety of formats print and online usage.
