Brand Guidelines
Logo
Our logo is the visual signature of our brand—distinct, memorable, and versatile across all scales and mediums. It can introduce a message with impact or provide a simple, elegant sign-off.
Logo suite
A logo suite have been created to provide flexibility when designing to specific formats and mediums.

Exclusion zones
The exclusion zone protects the logo’s clarity and visual impact by keeping it separate from other design elements such as text, graphics, and images. The diagrams illustrate the minimum space that must be maintained around the logo. No other text or logos should appear within this area.
The exclusion zone for all AI NATION logos on all sides is equal to the width of the small circle from the logo.

Colors and backgrounds
The AI NATION logo (primary, secondary):
It can be used on any approved brand color background; however, the prefered usage is in monotone on a black or white background.
The AI NATION lock-up (Accelerator, Grant):
It can only be used on black or white backgrounds.
AI NATION brand label
The AI NATION brand labels consists of the AI NATION logos/program lock-ups placed on a defined white background area.
This version should be used when the logo appears over busy or visually complex backgrounds, such as crowd scenes, event photos, or group images (e.g., startup team pictures).
The background of the brand label ensures legibility, visual balance, and brand recognition even in dynamic environments.

Logoframe
The logo frame is a distinctive and meaningful design element that reinforces the brand’s visual identity. It may be applied across a range of touchpoints, including wall graphics, covers, and posters.
To ensure proper and consistent application — or if you intend to incorporate your own imagery within the logo frame — please consult the brand management team prior to implementation:

Off-Brand
The logo must never be used with or placed on off-brand colors or image backgrounds. Similarly, placing the logo over busy, photographic, patterned, or otherwise complex backgrounds can compromise the visual integrity of the brand and reduce the logo’s legibility and impact.
When it is necessary for the logo to appear in conjunction with imagery, it must be positioned within a clear, uniform area that provides adequate contrast.
