Excellence is what we live for when it comes to content, design, and the routinary process that we adhere to in and outside the company. We have set high standards for ourselves that encompass our entire design system. Each element plays a pivotal role, such as everything should be reinforced with our brand message. This visual branding guide's purpose is to serve as a blueprint when it comes to any design-related works within the brand, Verz Design.
These are general guidelines on what and what not to do when it comes to the usage of our logo.
The one-liner horizontal Verz Design logo orientation is the standard and preferred orientation of the logo where the symbol and the brand typeface are side-by-side.
The two-liner vertical Verz Design logo orientation is the alternative orientation of the logo where the symbol sits above the brand typeface.
This symbol may be used in instances wherein space is too small and limited and the platform to print on might alter the readability of the logo type.
It is preferred to use the full-colored version of the logo as much as possible.
However, in instances that a dark background is being used, you may opt to use either the full-color reversed logo or the one-color reversed.
The 'exclusion zone' refers to the area around the logo which must remain free from other copy to ensure that the logo is not obscured. As the diagram indicates, the 'exclusion zone' is equal to that of the cap height of the letter "v".
In cases where the minimum size requiurement cannot be met, it is advised to remove the tagline.
The logo's appearance must remain consistent and any attempt to alter the logo in any way, must be avoided. Elements such as the color, orientation and composition should remain as is, with no exception.
On the right side, we showcase the actions to avoid when using our logo.

The main theme of the images to be used in marketing collaterals should be kid-centric; this is to evoke a feeling of fun and youthfulness. The warm tone of light should also be taken into consideration when choosing photos.
