Brand guide

The brand, the myth, the manual. Inside this guide you'll find the sacred blueprints of our brand-logos, colors, type, and the unspoken rules of looking like you know what you're doing. Stick to it and you'll blend in like a natural. Break it, and well... you'll hear from us.

This is our logo

This isn't just a graphic-it's the signature, the symbol, the visual mic drop. Whether it's scaled up on a stage or sitting quietly in the corner of a slide deck, it deserves to show up looking flawless. Follow these rules, and the logo will treat you right. Ignore them, and things get awkward fast.

Precision over clutter. Always

To keep it crisp, clean, and unmistakably ours, always surround it with clear space equal to the height of the "V" in the wordmark. That's your unit of measurement-apply it to all sides, every time. Remember: Close enough is never good enough. Use the "V" as your ruler, always.

This icon is designated for specific purposes

Voltage's icon is sacred and must be handled with care. We don't want to find this icon: hidden in backgrounds, squashed to one side, or used to dot an 'i'. Whomever dares touch this revered symbol will be cursed for life.

How not to use our logo

We know it's tempting to get creative-but our logo isn't here for your remix. It's been carefully crafted and deserves to be used exactly as intended. Here are the kinds of design crimes we're not cool with-and a few visual reminders of what never to do.

Example of incorrect logo usage with filters

Keep it clean-shaven

No grime. No filters. No weird textures.

Example of incorrect logo usage with wrong colors

No freestyle colors

This isn't a coloring book. Stick to the mono logos.

Example of incorrect logo usage with strokes

Don't pull at the threads

No strokes, outlines, experiments gone rogue.

Example of incorrect logo usage with distortion

Don't bend it out of shape

No squishing, stretching, or "just making it fit."

Functional & confident colors

Our palette is designed, not just chosen. Every shade serves a specific function-whether it's drawing focus, signaling interaction, or keeping things readable. Stick to the system and everything stays sharp, clear, and intentional.

Our voice, in type

We use two typefaces from the Halyard family. They're not just fonts-they're part of the brand's posture. They give us clarity, character, and consistency across everything from hero headlines to the fine print.
