These colours are always used at their full opacity. This allows the brand to remain fresh, simple and clean.

our brand elementsGraphic ElementOnly ever used as a background. Not used in any other context.

Can only ever be used on the back of corporate statio-nery.

The cubes are always in groups never one single cube. The cubes can be all different sizes and can only be a gradient of the corporate colours Crisp Emerald and Sharp White.

The graphic is constructed from 2D squares with an additional 3D effect and linear gradient. They are then rotated, multiplied and placed randomly making sure there is no white background within.

This is demonstrated to the right.

Note: Always used a full opacity.

our brand applicationsThe corporate branding of our brand is very import-ant, as we want to portray a very specific brand identi-ty. Our brand is fresh, simple and clean.

To do this, our branding is to be very strong but at the same time very simple and minimal.

All of our branding consists of our three corporate co-lours, logo, graphic element and corporate typefaces.

Stationery: Brand appliedThe corporate colours Crisp Emerald, Sharp White and Bold Black are all dominant through the branding of stationery. Although, black is to be used solely for text.

All of the stationery applications incorporate the stan-dard logo configuration.. Which illustrates the sharp white text ‘cube’ on the 2D crisp emerald square. (Business card is the only acception, refer to section below)

Page 17: Cube Style Guide

our brand applicationsBasic Stationery: Brand applied (Continued)

LetterheadThe letterhead must use black text for the recievers details and body text. The body text is to be placed on the right-hand side of the page.

Cube’s details are always crisp emerald on all statio-nery.

To keep the letterhead formal it incorporates alot of white space to keep it fresh, simple and clean.

To incorporate the brand further the graphic element is generally incorporated on the back of the page.

Invoice/quote formsOur forms are very similarly designed. Incorporating a lot of white space and being very simplistic.

They are not to incorporate images and are solely just text and the brand graphic element.

This is to keep the brand identity very fresh, clean and simple. To do this all advertisements will explore pur-pose through the exaggeration and use of text.
