Branding manual

We try to keep the branding for NGC light to make it easy to use. If you have questions, comments or ideas on how we can improve the branding we are happy to hear them. Please reach out to us via discord.

Idea / Concept

The sunrise symbolizes an optimistic future – each new day entails hope and opportunities . As NGC we want to promote this perspective on the future on the basis of our cores values: inclusiveness, diversity, and openness. NGC is a network and a safe space based on mutual trust and respect.

The branding includes marks, fonts and colors for now and might be adapted and extended as the community and its work change.

    All marks can be downloaded via github (see resources). There are two types of marks: the logomark and the logotype. Both types exist in two color variants: the primary color variant and a light and a dark monochrome variant.

    Logotype

    The Logotype should be used whenever possible. For applications where the subline of the logotype is no longer readable the logomark is preferred.
