BILLBOARD Billboard adverts need clear visual impact.

The brand mark is dominant on a layout that maximizes the format. A simple qualification for the success of the layout is ‘immediate identification’.

A multitude of graphics also add to the visual impact, thus another ‘impact’ tip would be to apply on as many applications as the budget would permit. Size and format is determined by availability.

09 WEB SITE

39 / 48 DUCO -- BRAND STYLE GUIDE

WEBSITE A web grid helps to establish a set of guidelines to how elements should be positioned within a web layout. Not only does an effective grid provide the rhythm for a design, but it also defines the meter.

The proper position of the logo should be at the upper left hand corner.

40 / 48 DUCO -- BRAND STYLE GUIDE

In cases of smart devices below a width of 768 px, the logo position is at center based on proportitional adjustment of the web pages to adapt various screen sizes.

The minimum logo width for smart devices should be 10mm / 30px.

41 / 48 DUCO -- BRAND STYLE GUIDE

A website in itself is probably the most dynamic platform of all communication channels.

Any healthy website should evolve as the usage dynamics change to suit the service best.

Web Font

Simplicity

Kelson Sans typefaces should be the default fonts for all Duco web applications. This maximizes visual brand identity recognition.

Users need to navigate with ease and not be bombarded and confused with non essential details. Stylistically, the website’s typography should be very clear with effective visual impact from selected imagery, to icons and text.

Grid All (images, shapes, typography), should ahdere to 1200 and/or 960 grid structure.

Function Priority The website prioritizes the products’ information above ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ related information.

This acts as a focal point to fit it’s purpose.
