Identity Specification

Color · Typography · Logo Lockups · Usage Rules · Applications
Five values pulled directly from the mark: the navy body, the red signal node, and the silver keyline that separates them — extended with two neutrals for type and layout. Navy and red are the only colors that should ever touch the logo itself.
A geometric display face echoes the squared-off letterforms of the wordmark; a monospace face carries hex codes, specs and captions the way a schematic carries pin labels; a humanist sans handles long-form reading.

Simucad's identity is built from the same logic as the products it represents — precise, modular, and engineered to hold up at any scale.

Two approved color treatments — full color and reversed white — each with a full lockup and a mark-only version for small or square placements.
Full Color — on Blueprint Cloud
Reversed White — on Trace Silver

Clear Space & Minimum Size
Use the red signal node itself as the measuring unit — call it 1X. Keep at least 1X of clear space around every edge of the lockup, free of text, edges, or competing marks.
This keeps the rule tied to the logo at any size, instead of a fixed pixel value that breaks when the mark is scaled.

✓ Do
Use the approved color or reversed-white lockup at full opacity, on a background with enough contrast to read clearly.
✕ Don't recolor
Never shift the navy or red into another hue, even for a campaign or seasonal theme.
✓ Do
Switch to the reversed white lockup on navy, photography, or any dark or busy background.
✕ Don't distort
Never stretch, squash, skew, or rotate the lockup. Scale proportionally only.
✓ Do
Drop to the mark-only version below the minimum lockup width, or in square/app-icon contexts.
✕ Don't add effects
No drop shadows, glows, outlines, gradients, or bevels beyond what ships in the master file.
A quick look at the system in place — a business card, app icon tiles, and a product header bar.
