OUR MISSION STATEMENT We help you design, deliver, and operate better buildings for a better world OUR LOGO VIM BRAND GUIDE Nov 2019 8 OUR LOGO Our brand has evolved with our company to keep up with our growth and aspirations. Our current rebrand was developed over many months of market reseach and careful process to create something durable for our present and future. The first big change we made was dropping “AEC.” Just call us VIM! It’s easier to say and it really is the core of what we are. The new VIM brand is a V cut from a hexagon with facets that refract light. We have a color logo shaded with our brand colors and our main version of that is the vertical one with VIM below the mark. We have alternates for situations where the main vertical one is not a good fit. The following pages outline how to use the logo and which backgrounds are approved for logo placement. If you have questions about logo usage please direct them to your design lead. Make sure you are using the right format of logo for your job. For online, choose a logo from the raster logos folder. Please don’t convert to gif or jpeg. For print there is an .ai file for each logo set up in CMYK in the vector logo folder. THE VERTICAL LOGO CLEAR SPACE Clear space equal to the height of the V in VIM must be kept around the logo no matter where it is placed. THE LANDSCAPE LOGO CLEAR SPACE Clear space equal to the height of the lower facet in the V must be kept around the logo no matter where it is placed. VIM BRAND GUIDE Nov 2019 11 COLOR LOGOS The vertical logo in color is our preferred VIM logo. It’s not always possible to work with this shape so we also have a landscape option as well as an option with white text.
