Purpose

Graphics standards guidelines are an absolute necessity for identity management. They document the carefully controlled use of typography and graphic elements that have been established. The visual identity helps strengthen and distinguish the recognition value of the name SkyBitz and the graphic symbols that are associated with it. The more consistently the elements are used, the stronger the visual identity created.

Who Should Receive and Use This Guide?

It is important that those who will be producing, reproducing or utilizing materials that feature the identity be equipped with the branding & identity guidelines:

• Marketing/advertising/design firms or freelancers
• Communicators/writers/public relations personnel
• Print vendors/sign fabricators
• Sales and business unit staff
• Business partners & suppliers
• Web, SEO, online advertising agencies
• Industry tradeshows and events

Reproducing the Identity

Always reproduce the SkyBitz identity using the official artwork provided. Never recreate the identity from scratch or alter any part of the logo provided. If there are questions as to what artwork should be used, please contact the Marketing Department.

Typography

Photography

Photography is a great way to express the tone of SkyBitz. The images we choose to align with our brand communicate both our culture as well as our technical products.

Primary Photography

Primary photography used in marketing material should feature products in the field, in an outdoor environment. These shots should focus on a single subject, (i.e. one tank, one trailer, one vehicle) and always include a landscape scene, such as images that feature large portions of the sky in the background. Remember that this can be supported with secondary photography and iconography, so we don’t have to fit every possible product or subject into one shot.

Secondary Photography

Secondary photography is used to show specific products such as hardware, software screenshots, or assets. These should be photographed or photoshopped against a white background, using an angle that will best express the function of that product or asset.

Illustration & Iconography

Illustrations and icons can be used on both marketing materials and products to help enhance the understanding and usability of the product.

Illustrations are larger drawings that can contain more detail and fill a larger space (see left example above). These drawings should use a thin gray stroke as the primary form but can be accented with filled shapes using SkyBitz Blue.

Smaller illustrations (center) in marketing material can also be drawn using a thin gray stroke but may omit filled shapes to enhance legibility at a smaller size.

In cases where icons are used to enhance a user interface in digital products, filled shape icons (right) are encouraged. In this case, you use the full set of SkyBitz colors to imply functionality, (i.e. green save button, red cancel button).

Stationary & Templates

Stationery, letterhead, and digital presentations are designed to display identity and informational elements in a consistent fashion, with flexibility to accommodate a variety of information and formats.

• Letterhead Template
• Powerpoint Template
• Business Cards

Promotional Items

Promotional items are designed to build brand awareness and are usually produced in large quantities for mass commercial distribution. It is important that any promotional item being developed be approved by the Marketing Department as they are the Owners of the SkyBitz brand. For questions relating to promotional material, please contact Director of Marketing, Mitchell Olszewski.

When we speak or write in the first person, we take responsibility for what we are saying and appear confident as a result.

I will send you all of the necessary information.

You will be provided with all of the necessary information.

Precision

Don’t be afraid of facts and figures.

If facts or figures support a claim, use them in a compelling manner. We appear knowledgeable and confident when we support what we are saying with data and/or numbers.

Writing Tips

We understand the industry our customers are used to: one muddled by hyperbolic language, upsells, and over-promises. We strip all that away and value clarity and conciseness above all. We aim high but remain grounded in what matters most: our service and our customers.

Three tones that convey the SkyBitz Brand:

Plainspoken

• Clear
• Straightforward
• Easy to understand

Communicate clearly and avoid overly complicated words without being condescending and cold. Inform in a simple, precise manner.

Supportive

• Helpful
• Friendly
• Assuring

Listen and understand the needs of the prospect or customer. Offer solutions and assurance to the industry problems they face.

Empowering

• Positive
• Informative
• Responsible

Our communications should convey the idea that “we make your business run better”.
