The SmartDataSoft Logo
As a logo is one the main aspect of a company’s commercial brand or economic entity, and its shapes, colors, fonts, and images usually are strikingly different from other logos in the same market niche. In keeping with our brand personality, our logo is simply straightforward and
simple. As a Hexagon shape is an example of a geometric body with 6 sides, means we have an ability and believe in developing themes and plugins using our ‘Sixth Sense of Revolution’ including other five sense of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. This is how our icon shape
makes us crazy! The SmartDataSoft logo includes STAND-ALONE and TAGLINE variations are a clear signpost for our brand and our primary visual symbol.
Stand-Alone Logo
SmartDataSoft
WordMark & IconMark
The SmartDataSoft Wordmark is the most common expression of the SmartDataSoft Visual Identity. It combines the clearest communication of the brand name with the most flexible rules of application. It should be used consistently to raise brand awareness. Our Wordmark may ONLY
be used in the color combinations shown here. It may NOT be placed on a HIGHLY-PATTERNED background or photograph. Our IconMark shape is the most using identity through web and social media networks. This is an example of a geometric body with 6 sides, which means we have an ability and believe in developing themes and plugins using our sixth sense of revolution including other five sense of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.
There are four logos (WordMark & IconMark) variations that cover all possible applications.
01. Primary Logo (ORANGE): The logo is available in all basic formats for digital (standalone)
and print (tagline) use. The primary full color logo should be used whenever possible.
02. Secondary Logo (WHITE): Logo to be placed on colored backgrounds, images etc.
03. Black Logo: Logo to be placed on colored backgrounds, images etc.
04. Gray Logo: The gray logo should be used when full color printing is not an option.
We’ve selected GainsBoro from gray color.
Logo Placement
The SmartDataSoft logo and SmartDataSoft Mark should always be surrounded by a minimum area of space. The minimum clear space is defined as X. Measured by the sixth (6th) of the height of the Hexagon (icon). The minimum clear space of 2x around the “Hexagon” and 3.5x above and below the letters should always be applied. Try to maximize clear space whenever possible. Always scale the logo proportionally.
Sizing (Minimum Size)
The minimum logo size provides the smallest possible reduction in which the logo is still easy to read. In exceptional circumstances, smaller sizes for print may be necessary. In such cases, readability should always be your top priority.

Logo Don’t
Our Logo is our most valuable asset, as like as the face that you have! We must treat it nicely. So, don’t punch in our logo (face), it doesn’t have arms, that’s why it can’t fight back! The SmartDataSoft logo should always be used in its approved format. It should never be modified. Altering the logo weakens the integrity and consistency of the brand. Here are examples of what not to do with the logo. Now that we understand the essence of the SmartDataSoft brand, we must also understand the specifics that build the base for it.
Typography
Typography is a strong extension of our brand personality. The selection and use of our corporate typeface have two functions. Firstly, to create a distinctive and consistent look across all our communications. Secondly, to help the reader navigate a blog, document, delivering messages with impact and clarity.
TypeFace Family
We use Sensation (WordMark) and Roboto (Tagline) as our logo font family. Sensation is our voice. The ‘Sensation’ and ‘Roboto’ is the core of our visual identity and synonymous with our brand. We should also use ‘Raleway’ as Secondary font for Social Media channels. It should be used in all materials to maintain consistency in our messaging and branding. This modern and approachable typeface helps us to communicate with our customers easily and smartly.
Primary Font We Use : Roboto 700 is to be used as primary font.
Logo Font : Sensation
Body Font : Roboto
Menu Font : Roboto
Headings Font : Roboto
Secondary Font We Use : Raleway for SocialMedia Channels.
Colors
Color is a great identifier:
Cricket teams, Electronics and even non-structured companies “own” colors that are instantly recognizable and represent who they are. By understanding and exploiting this principle we can use color to influence the way people think about us and build strong associations with our brand and our products too. Proper application of the primary corporate color palette helps to ensure a consistent and credible communication of the company.
Our Colors Palettes
Our corporate color palette consists of ORANGE (e94d1a), gray (We’ve selected GainsBoro from gray color), white and black. When it is not possible to print a solid Pantone color, check our recommended CMYK breakdown. Always use the percentage breakdowns specified here to
achieve the closest match to Pantone colors. RGB and web safe values specify colors for screen and Internet display. These guidelines are designed to be viewed on screen. RGB color printouts should not be used to match the color. Always use the relevant matching system to ensure consistency. These colors or their equivalents should set the tone of any application which stages the company or is a communication from the company.
Overall, brand colors should be used in the following percentages (image below).
