Logomark
The GraceStory Logo is an important asset to our organization and should serve as a foundation for all visual communications.
The logomark consists of a quille and script text. The identity can only make a positive impact if used consistently and correctly thorughout all brand communications.
To maintain a strong brand image it is important that the logo is always applied consistently wherever it appears. It should never be manipulated or distorted. Its color, position and size are all specified within this document.
Guidelines for Logo Use
Your logo will be reproduced in various sizes and you may need it to be as small as a postage stamp to fit on stationery. Make sure that text and fine lines are still legible when the logo design is scaled down.
While it is good to experiment with colors, it is best to keep a limited color palette if possible.
When placing the logomark in a printed publication, it is important to maintain sufficient “white space” around the image so that it will stand out and be noticed.
Always use a space equivalent to the width of the “S” around the logomark on every side. This active area should remain free of other visual elements or page trim.
Color Palette
The primary color palette is constant throughout all communications. A color hierarchy has been implemented, ranging from Deep Rose and Titanium to Pale Blush and Soft Velvet.
