Brand
Our logo, colours and how to use them.
Logo
The bird and the wordmark together. Use the transparent versions on top of your own backgrounds, or the ones with a background ready to drop in. SVG for print and the web, PNG for documents and slides. The SVG has no font to install.
No background
Transparent. Place on a background that gives good contrast.
Icon and favicon
The bird on its own, for small spaces such as profile pictures. Square tiles work for any platform that crops to a circle.
No background
Transparent.
With a background
Square tiles, 1024px. Use for profile pictures and app icons.
Colour
Purple does the work and mint adds the spark. Click a value to copy it.
Velvet purple
Our main colour. Text, buttons, the logo and large panels.
Mint
The accent. Highlights and icons, on purple or beside it. Never as text on white.
White
Backgrounds, and the logo on purple.
Lilac
Borders, dividers and soft panels.
Soft lilac
Page and card backgrounds.
Ink
Body text on light backgrounds.
Which pairs are readable
Ratios are WCAG contrast. 4.5 or more is fine for text, and 3 or more for large text and icons.

Typography
A serif for headings, a clean sans for everything else, and a bolder serif for the wordmark only.
Using the logo
Keep it clear, keep it readable, keep it ours.
Clear space
Leave at least the height of the bird’s head free on every side.
Minimum size
Don’t go below 96px wide for the full logo or 24px for the icon.
Do
- Use the purple logo on white and light backgrounds.
- Use the white or mint logo on purple or on dark photos.
- Write the name as “Earlybird” in sentences.
- Keep the logo and the icon at their original proportions.
Don’t
- Stretch, squash, rotate or outline the logo.
- Recolour it, or add shadows and effects.
- Put it on a busy photo or a colour with weak contrast.
- Imply Earlybird endorses a product or service it doesn’t.
