Brand Style Guide

A complete visual identity system built around the Gray Shield Peek mark — logo, color, typography, photography, and information design in one place.

Logo Foundation

The gray shield is the system's anchor.

Built directly from Cynthia's own reference image. A flat gray outline shield sits behind a gold uppercase I and blue uppercase A, with the shield's lower-right rail crossing back in front of the A — one intentional overlap, no shadow, bevel, gradient, metallic finish, glow, or blur.

Accessibility: use gold as an accent or large display element — never as small body text on white.

Typography

Editorial confidence meets operational clarity.

Aa
Space Grotesk
Headlines, section titles, points of view
Insight becomes useful when context becomes clear.

Inter — functional copy, captions, labels, navigation. Keep sentence case for readability; reserve all caps for short labels.

DM Mono — data labels, dates, hex codes, pricing

Visual Language

Three ideas keep every expression recognizable.

01

Signal

Use one controlled gold cue to identify the answer, the shift, or the important question.

02

Structure

Build with clean grids, deliberate crops, fine lines, and visible hierarchy.

03

Stewardship

Show responsible leaders interpreting evidence in context — not technology performing magic.

Photography

Show judgment in context.

Professionals reviewing data together
People interpreting — leaders and analysts engaged with real evidence
Professional presenting analytics on a map
Specific environments — briefing rooms, maps, working sessions
Diverse professionals discussing documents
Documents & context — composed, working moments
Diverse team in a modern conference room
Calm credibility — natural light, human texture, no staged drama
Avoid: tactical poses, police tape, weapons, flashing lights, anonymous "hacker" screens, and neon cyber imagery.
Information Design

Maps and data should clarify — not decorate.

Every map, chart, or table should make one decision easier. Remove anything that does not improve interpretation.

Use

  • Quiet basemaps
  • One gold emphasis
  • Direct labels
  • Source + date visible

Avoid

  • Decorative dashboards
  • Too many color scales
  • Unsupported certainty
