About

An overview of our history, brand messaging and key facts and figures, describing what we may communicate about Azets. Our tone of voice describes how we communicate Azets in a correct and consistent fashion.

An eye-catching brand

Azets is an easily recognisable brand supported by two distinct visual expressions.

The triangle is the primary design element on all Azets designs.

The triangle element makes Azets easy to recognize across different channels.

The triangle is reflected in the logo and represents strength, stability, power, symmetry and perfection.

Green for growth

Green is the primary colour on all Azets designs.

Our brand promise is strongly related to the colour green: Azets deliver business advice that saves your time and makes it easier for you to grow your business and focus on achieving your ambitions.

Green is generally associated with positive values, such as growth, prosperity, new beginnings and moving forward. Green adds visibility and vitality to the brand and supports the idea of differentiating Azets from the crowd.

Visual elements

About

A thorough look into our key visual elements supporting and strengthening the brand, including rules and guidelines on how to use the elements correctly.

Azets logo

Main logo and extensions

Azets logo design contruction

Azets logo

Icon and wordmark

A combination of an symbol and a simple and modern wordmark. The symbol is both a graph and the letters A and Z from the wordmark. The icon stands for a lot of things – growth of course, but also knowledge and insight, as well as control and overview.

Line measurement

Abbreviations

Space between icon and wordmark

The space between the symbol and the wordmark is equal to two times the thickness of the stroke in the symbol.

The vertical logo should be used only in situations where the visibility is poor or there is not enough space for the horizontal logo.

t

The Azets logo can only be combined with concept names after approval by the brand owners.

Example for Ability extension for light and dark backgrounds.

Color options

Primary logo

The primary logo is the main logo and should be used in most cases. It works well with white backgrounds and light colors. In case of dark backgrounds use the inverted primary logo.

Secondary logo (one color version)

The secondary logo is used in cases where the primary logo does not work well - its complexity can sometimes make the logo less visible. The secondary logo performs well in these cases because of it s simplicity.

Never use the primary logo on detailed images, vibrant colored backgrounds or graphics that can reduce its visibility.

We use secondary logo in special cases for web and print.

Using our endorsement

Proportions - Blick Rothenberg

A minimum width of 22mm is recommended for the Azets endorsement. x 1/2x x 1/2x 1/2x 1/2x Minimum 22mm

Key, knock out and reverse

Example - Blick Rothenberg

Can be placed on white colour backgrounds from our neutral colour palette.

Key Use for black and white print only.

Knock out

For placement on block colour backgrounds from primary colour palette or images (where sufficient contrast provides adequate visibility).

Reverse

For placement on block colour backgrounds from primary colour palette and retaining the Blick Rothennberg colour ident.

Endorsement placement

Company logo Company logo

Company logo

Left alignment

Our endorsement can be placed on the left side if the company logo is on a wide format only. The two logos should be well balanced and have a good harmony.

Centre alignment

Our endorsement should always be centre aligned when the company logo is centre aligned, in a square or circle format. Keep both logos in the same alignnment for a better composition.

Right alignment

Our endorsement is used on the right side only in cases where the company logo has a symbol on the left side and our endorsement doesn’t fit well and creates a unbalanced composition.

Logo placements

The exclusion zone

Safe areas

This page illustrates why the clear space is so important. The top two examples show the correct usage of the logo and the exclusion zone. By respecting the exclusion zone we ensure the logo stands out and looks its best.

Yes

The content has just enough room. Remember the exclusion zone is the minimum space given to the logo. Both the Azets and Olympic logos have enough room that they do not compete with each other.

We simplify and support businesses in their growth

In the bottom two examples, other elements come much too close to the Azets logo, creating a cramped and messy visual.

No

This text line is too close to the Logo. The Olympic logo is too close to the Logo. Color Options

We simplify and support businesses in their growth

Minimum sizes

For print and digital

Establishing a minimum size ensures that the impact and legibility of the lLogo is not compromised in application. Due to the higher resolution available in print versus that of screen based media (300dpi vs 72dpi respectively), we are able to reproduce the logo at a fractionally smaller size in print without any graphic deterioration.

Digital

To ensure legibility and impact, the Azets logo should never be reproduced smaller than 70px in any digital communication.

Print

To ensure legibility and impact, the primary Azets logo should never be reproduced smaller than 20mm in any print communication. The minimum size is 12mm for the secondary Azets logo.

Logo misuse

Bad logo usage

It is important that the appearance of the logo remains consistent.

Its orientation, color and composition should remain as indicated in this document — there are no exceptions.

The logo should not be misinterpreted, modified, or added to. No attempt should be made to alter the logo in any way.

To illustrate this point, some of the more common mistakes are shown on this page.

Do not apply gradients to the icon or Wordmark

Do not resolve the logo in all green

Do not change the Logo color keyline around the Logo. or tone outside those colors specified in the color section of this guide

Do not rotate the Logo

Do not manipulate the relationship between the Wordmark and the Icon. Use one for the two version

Do not distort or warp the Logo in any way

Do not change the typeface or otherwise recreate the Wordmark. Use only the provided files

Do not use the Wordmark without the Icon

Do not outline or create a border Do not change the Logo color keyline around the Logo

Do not manipulate or draw your own icon

Do not remove the black stroke Do not crop photos or your own Icon from the letter A in the icon

Do not crop photos or patterns through the Logo

Logo placement

Regardless of communication size or dimension, the logo can only be placed in five locations. This keeps logo placement simple and consistent, while allowing enough flexibility to accommodate a dynamic graphic system.

Logo colour codes

Azets green

The Azets green colour is a custom colour which works best on screen. On screen RGB or Hex colour should be used. We also recommend using RGB color for PDFs that will mainly be viewed on screen. e.g. sending a PDF to a customer client. If a client does print the document the quality would still be good, but it is more important it looks good on screen. For important printed materials, you should ideally use the Pantone colour as often as possible.

“Pantone 7479 C” is for printing on coated paper. “Pantone 7479 U” is for uncoated paper.

CMYK colours should only to be used when Pantone is not available, e.g. when printing on an ordinary inkjet printer. Azets black

This is a standard black. HEX and RGB are used for display and CMYK for print.

White space / Negative space

The space between elements in a composition. The space between major elements in a composition is “micro whitespace.” Micro whitespace is the space between smaller elements: between list items, between a caption and an image, or between words and letters. Whitespace create a balanced, harmonious layout. It improves legibility and increases attention.

Photography

Image concept

The people

The Azets imagery shows people in real working life situations, focusing on their task and not the camera. The people are technological. By using contemporary tools despite an ‘analogue’ profession, they show the emphasis on being updated.

The moments

Azets wants to show the small but significant moments in everyday work-life. For both Azets employees and our clients. For example, the moment a genius idea occurs, when good news is shared, or good decisions are made. Portraits of focused and reflexive people, using insight and knowledge.

Natural colours

Photos used in Azets marketing should look natural and real, emphasising a documentary focus. Look for textures and colours with a subtle and natural look, not too bright and intense. The colour tone should be more blue than red. The lighting should be as natural as possible. The use of natural light is preferred, but lighting can be used if the room or location is too dark.

Focus

Azets images should not be too ‘busy’, -make sure there is one main focus and not too many distracting objects. Images with an unfocused foreground strengthen the impression of getting an authentic and real glimpse of people’s everyday working life.

Usage

All cover images should be accompanied with the graphical patterns and never to be used as standalone.

Our library of photos include all Racial and Ethnic Categories.

Exceptions

Presentations and documents

can have stand alone images, no patterns needed.

Portraits

Colour usage

Portraits should not be black/white, as this is inconsistent with our use of colour.

Consistency

The shot and angle used should be consistent.

Natural and bright colours

Natural, bright colours, preferably the same, but can differ when natural.

Smile

“Comfortably smiling” - people should not be too serious, but no forced smiles either.

Environment

People should be shown in their natural environment so the images look dynamic.

General look

The person should feel (and) look comfortable in the picture.

Dos and don’ts

Here are some examples of what you can do and can not do.

It is important to use common sense and an eye for visual experience. The image should always fit the context.

The people are focused on the task not the camera.

The people are focused on the camera, not the task .

The image has textures and colors with a subtle and natural look .

The image is too corporate and lacks subtle natural colors and textures.

The situation looks natural and relaxed. The colors are subtle and dimmed.

The situation looks arranged and unnatural. The colors are too intense.

If the context does not work with the image or you cannot find a suitable image it is possible to use a large illustration instead.

See ‘Illustrations’ in this guide.

Sunset or image towards the sun gets the wrong focus.
Everything is unfocused and distant . The color tone is more red than blue.
Natural light sunlight from the side. Foreground and background are unfocused, the person is in focus.
The color tone is more blue- grey than red.

Using Images

All cover images should be used only within a triangle, or a section of a triangle resulting a diagonal section of an image.

Images should be accompanied by the patterns and all elements should be arranged on the grid layout for a better composition.

Exceptions

Only use large images on content pages.

Illustrations

Icons used as illustrations

Do not use illustrations as icons. When using illustrations they should be large and the main focus on a page or a topic. Preferably only use one or two illustrations per page/topic.

For situations where there are multiple icons, or the icon has a function beside being decorative, you should use icons in one colour and in a smaller size.

Print and digital

Illustrations, photos and patterns can be used together in a layout.

Illustrations work in multiple situations and are good for: infographics, articles, blogs, flyers, posters, banners, roll-ups, Google slides, brochure, and other type of materials.

When creating infographics we make an exception. We can replace the standard character backgrounds with a decorated scene to make it even more alive.

Building your financial plan

Illustrations should not replace patterns and brand identity should be visible at all times.

Templates vs custom

Templates using adaptive patterns for multiple canvas sizes

Custom illustrations for a better story telling

Dos and don’ts

Using Illustrations

Illustrations are more complex, they have an extra element that sets them apart. Illustrations can replace images, used in infographics or for presentations. Never replace icons with illustrations or vice-versa.
