Brand guidelines

The BIT Services Lab logo, colours and type, with files ready to download. Use these instead of screenshots or older logo files.

Logo

One lockup, in a few colourways.

Use the full-colour logo on white or light backgrounds and the reversed logo on dark ones. Use a single-colour version when gradients can't be printed or the background is busy.

Mark & icons

The hexagons on their own.

Use the mark alone only where the name already appears nearby, such as avatars and app icons. Below 48 px the favicon drops the two smallest hexagons so the shape stays clear.

Usage

Room to breathe, and a minimum size.

Keep clear space around the logo equal to the height of the letters in “BIT”. Nothing else should sit inside that margin.

Logo with clear-space margin
  • Minimum size64 px tall on screen and 18 mm tall in print, so “Services Lab” stays readable. Below that, use the mark alone.
  • BackgroundsFull colour on white or Canvas; reversed on Ink; one-colour white on Hex Blue or photographs.
  • Don’t recolourKeep the hexagons in Hex Blue and Cell Cyan in their original positions. Don’t swap tones or add colours.
  • Don’t redrawDon’t stretch, rotate, outline or add shadows, and don’t retype the name in another font. Use the supplied files.
