Brand Gradient
The gradient, transitioning from our Primary colour (#8838e0) to our Secondary colour (#355afe), is ideal for banners, headers, or large visual elements. Use this gradient to add dynamism and depth to your design.
Usage Instructions
- Ensure sufficient contrast for any text over the gradient; use overlays if necessary.
- The gradient works best on large areas where the colour transition is clearly visible.
- Feel free to adjust the angle of the gradient to suit your layout, while maintaining the core transition between the two colours.

Logo Usage Guidelines
- Clear Space: Always maintain a clear space around each logo equal to the height of the "N" in NIC PARKES. This space should be free of any other graphics or text.
- Minimum Size: To ensure legibility, do not reduce the logo below 100px in digital applications or 1 inch in printed materials.
-
Backgrounds:
- Full Colour: Best used on neutral or light backgrounds where the colours can stand out.
- All White: Ideal for dark or busy backgrounds to ensure contrast and legibility.
- All Black: Use on very light backgrounds or when a monochromatic look is desired.
- Scaling & Proportions: Always scale the logos proportionally. Avoid stretching, compressing, or otherwise distorting any aspect of the logo.
Sizing and Scaling
Proper sizing ensures the logo remains clear and impactful:
- For digital use, adjust the size as necessary while maintaining legibility and clear space.
- For print applications, adhere to the minimum size guidelines.
-
When to use each logo:
- NP Icon: Use when a compact, symbol-only representation is needed.
- Wordmark: Use when the brand name should be explicitly stated.
- Combined Lockup: Use in formal or primary communications to represent the full brand identity.
Application of Brand Colours
- Use the Primary (#8838e0) and Secondary (#355afe) colours as the main accents in your design.
- The Gradient from Primary to Secondary can be effectively applied to large areas such as website headers, banners, or backgrounds to create a dynamic visual impact.
- The Tertiary (#000000) is best suited for text or design elements where high contrast is required.
