Keep identity clear, legible, and aligned with the public site
These guidelines align with the official Branding Guidelines — Elemento Modular Cloud (logo, trademark, typography, colour, imagery). They summarize rules for web and partner use. When in doubt, match the homepage and about story, and preserve each mark’s aspect ratio.
Trademark and legal wording: follow the full guidelines and counsel for ® notices, territory, and contractual use.
Mark, spacing, and contrast
Layout preference: use the horizontal payoff whenever possible (wordmark, tagline, and ®). When width is tight — mobile headers, narrow columns — use the vertical payoff lockup instead. For avatars, favicons, and compact UI, use the symbol alone (no wordmark).
The logo palette defines three ink colours — Starter Yellow #FFA600, Crystal White #F8F8FF, and Void Black #16161D — on the appropriate field. Each variant below shows those inks on the correct field: horizontal payoff, vertical payoff, then symbol only (yellow on void black is preferred).

From the official logo guidelines
Minimum clear space around the logo or symbol is 2× the height of the mark on every side (sometimes described as “doubling the height”). The payoff lockup uses the same rule.
Each band sets a maximum width for print and screen and the lockup to use at that scale (full payoff, horizontal wordmark, or symbol only).
| Band | Screen | Lockup | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Large | up to 50 mm | up to 500 px |
Full horizontal payoff — wordmark, tagline, and ®.
|
| Medium | up to 35 mm | up to 250 px |
Horizontal wordmark — when the full payoff is too wide.
|
| Small | up to 10 mm | up to 30 px |
Symbol only — favicons, app icons, narrow UI.
|
Do not scale the full payoff into the small band — switch to the symbol. Match ink and field colours to the logo section above.
Don’t — examples from the guidelines (not exhaustive)
The logo must not use colours outside the identity palette.
The logo must not be used as a hollow outline.
Do not distort, stretch, or compress the mark.
Do not tilt, rotate, or otherwise skew the logo.
No lighting, drop shadows, or bevels on the lockup.
The logotype must not use a different colour from the symbol.
Co-branding layout
When appearing alongside another company, give both marks adequate clear space and balanced visual weight. A typical row is: Partner — Elemento, without merging or overlapping the lockups.
Request the full partnership artwork from hello@elemento.cloud for approved templates and lockups.
Primary and secondary brand colours
Use these first for maximum recognition. The site theme also uses nearby neutrals (e.g. #1A1C20 for body text) — pair brand primaries with accessible contrast.
Product UI tokens on elemento.cloud may differ slightly; treat this page as the marketing colour reference and css/themes.css for implementation.
Brand type stack (with live-site note)
Headings use Red Hat Display (often Extrabold). Key words inside headings may use Argent Pixel Italic (Connary Fagen — Argent Pixel). Body copy should use Red Hat Text — do not substitute Display for long text. Code uses Red Hat Mono (Google Fonts). Icons on elemento.cloud pair Font Awesome with a bundled Pixel Icon Library webfont for pixel-style glyphs (.hn classes; files under assets/font/PixelIconLibrary/). Check each source's licensing before reusing or redistributing.
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
1234567890
Headings — guidelines recommend Extrabold. Google Fonts.
Highlight within headings
Accent inside titles only. Argent Pixel is licensed from Connary Fagen; this site ships it for select treatments.
Body text must stay functional and highly legible. Red Hat Text is tuned for paragraphs — different geometry from Display.
Canonical brand body font per guidelines. elemento.cloud still uses Open Sans in many templates; new work should align with Red Hat Text over time.

Patterns, icons & photography
Visual identity uses patterns inspired by the “force of cloud” — dynamic, physics-adjacent motifs. Use approved pattern files from the brand kit; don’t redraw from memory.
This site implements UI and marketing icons with Font Awesome and pixel-style accents via the bundled Pixel Icon Library webfont (.hn icon classes in assets/font/PixelIconLibrary/). Treat that pairing as the standard for elemento.cloud; avoid ad-hoc third icon families. Keep stroke, corner radius, and colour usage consistent with the chosen set.
Retro-future — abstract concepts, atmospheric or space-research imagery. Team moments — people and culture for tone of voice. Moving images — long exposure and dynamic shots for energy. Avoid generic stock that fights these three lanes.
Spellings and capitalization
Company and platform name: Elemento (sentence case in body; title case in headings as on the site). When you need the full legal line with Modular Cloud and ®, use the horizontal or vertical payoff lockup according to space.
Atomos, Electros, and Atomosphere — capitalize as proper nouns. Use each product’s SVG from All products alongside the name when possible.
