Corporate logo suite

LOGO INTRODUCTION
Our logo is the fundamental building block of our identity: the primary visual element that identifies us. The logo is a combination of the blue diamond itself and our company name - they have a fixed relationship that should never be changed in any way.

The diamond is a powerful image evoking the culture of quality and experience we provide our customers. The custom font has been carefully chosen for its modern yet refined, highly legible style. The corporate logo is presented through the use of color, as well as shape and form. The corporate color is blue, it is a strong and appealing color chosen for its combination of attributes: modern, classic, timeless.

Preferred Gray Line Logo
The Mono Logo
This logo has always been part of the approved branding portfolio, but as mono-chromatic designs have become more popular due to their simplicity, cleanliness, and ease of applying across any medium, this is now the official "Preferred Gray Line Logo." 

The preferred logo's best use cases are any/all digital or print related instances. Examples; websites, brochures, employee uniforms & smaller vehicle logos.

​LOGO CLEARSPACE AND COMPUTATION
​

It is required to keep corporate marks clear of any other graphic elements. To regulate this, an exclusion zone has been established around the corporate mark. This exclusion zone indicates the closest any other graphic element or message can be positioned in relation to the mark itself and our company name – they have a fixed relationship that should never be changed in any way. 
Picture
Definition
Whenever the logo is used, it should be surrounded with clear space to ensure its visibility and impact. No graphic elements of any kind should invade this zone (background images excluded).

Computation
To calculate the clear space, take the letters ‘GR’ from the logo and place them next to each point of the diamond. The size of the ‘GR’ should match the size being used on the logo at any given time. When sub-branded elements like "Sightseeing Everywhere" are used, the spacing adjusts. See Tagline section for examples.

INCORRECT APPLICATIONS

  1. Never stretch the logo out of proportion. The logo must always be scaled proportionately. 
  2. Never rotate the logo or position it upside-down on marketing materials. It should always sit upright so the logo text reads on a straight line.

  5. Never crop into the logo. The clear space guide should always be implemented. 
  6. Never overlay another graphic or image on top of the logo. The clearspace guide should always be implemented. 
  7. Never skew the logo.
