textures

TEXTURE & OUR GRAPHIC VOICE
The use of texture is integral to our brand. Texture should never overwhelm the main point of the image or detract from the legibility of the text. When looking for texture, keep in mind that our graphic voice is: bold, punchy, pops of color, textured, layered, gritty, sleek, modern, fresh

USE
Textures are used to provide interest and speak to the grit and determination that our heroes possess. The texture used should make sense for the audience and nature of the solution being marketed.

NOTE: Geometric textures primarily for internal use. Use grittier textures for customer-facing pieces.

typography

Bebas Neue Book is the brand’s main headline font; for impact/priority use Bebas Neue Bold

CENTURY GOTHIC BOLD IS THE SECONDARY FONT FOR SUBTITLES OR EMPHASIS IN PARAGRAPHS

Century Gothic Regular is the paragraph font. You can bold for emphasis within titles, subheads, and paragraphs but make sure the bolded elements are the most important parts for what the piece or paragraph is saying. Make sure all text in a piece is legible.

DO NOT DO THE FOLLOWING:
Drop shadows
Word art

Unapproved fonts
Text overlapping other text
Text over a busy image
Text on a similarly colored background Text bleeding off edges
