Symbol

The symbol includes the letter "W" from the lettering logotype in a clear circle. Used when knowledge of the company name can be assumed or the company or product name is in a common area. For example, for product labeling and for social networking.

The same principles as for the logotype apply with regard to colour. The basic colour of the symbol is red (WDD Red) or it is also used in a negative (white) variant. The symbol can also be coloured in defined colours according to the desired style of graphic output.

Choosing logo version

By downloading a specific version of the logo (Screen Version vs. Print Version) straight away to get the relevant color of the logo for your use. The table shows a summary and the most common cases.

Protection zone:

25 % of symbol height

It is a space around the logo, where no surrounding graphic elements (logos, texts, images, page margins, etc.) must interfere so as not to disturb the brand. In most cases, the logo is in the surrounding context of other elements, from which it distances itself and differs due to the space of the protection zone.

Logo on background

The basic colour (WDD Red) is used when technologically possible and the mark is sufficiently legible (light shades and materials, saturation 0-10%).

The negative white version is primarily intended for coloured backgrounds, photographs and wherever other versions are not legible (darker shades, saturation 10-100%).When placing the mark on an image, we preferably use the white (negative) version.

On images with too light a background, we recommend placing a black shade with a transparency of 10-20% to maintain the legibility of the white mark.

Things to avoid

The visual impression of the logo must be consistent. In order to achieve this, we follow these rules, which prohibit manipulation of the logo, especially in these ways.

Do not use shadows

Do not rotate logo

Do not recolor logo

Do not deform or change its original proportions of the logo

Placement in format

The logo and symbol are used in a limited number of locations in the formats to maintain consistency and avoid creating too large blocks of negative space in the overall area. The primary and secondary placement options on the format are always highlighted. Alignment to the vertical centerline or left corner is recommended.

Profile pictures

Social media profile icons and website favicons are a square with a symbol. Social networks cut this square into a circle in some applications.

We recommend using a symbol with or without a white line around the perimeter (with a white background or transparent). We do not recommend using a combination of the symbol and the background photo in icons, as it may reduce readability.

Subbrands

As the brand develops, there may be a need for complementary sub-brands and projects. Supplementary words are set in Arizona Sans Regular with an initial capital letter.

The font height is 2/3 the height of the symbol, the line is aligned to the bottom query of the W, and the indentation is defined as 1/4 the width of the symbol.

Symbol and message

The symbol can be used with an additional message, for example as a key visual. The size proportions should correspond to the hierarchy of the message. The relative indentation then corresponds to the height of the symbol. The overall height of the symbol corresponds to 110 % of the height of the font on the line.

Additional text messages are set in Arizona Sans Bold font with kerning and line spacing set according to the size table.

The indentation corresponds to the overall height of the symbol.
