Branding Logos, typography, brand colors, etc. 2018 Brand Guidelines» 10 «
x x x x x Logo This valuable asset below is used to identify our company, products and technologies to the world. Consistent application of the logo type reinforces brand recognition and trust. For these reasons, we always display the logo type as specified in this document. When you re using the SAV logo, make sure you give it breathing room to optimize its visual impact. The clear space around the logo should be at least 1x, which is equal to the overall height of the logo type. To ensure the logo maintains its visual impact, do not go any smaller than 36 pixels tall (which is 1/2 inch). Closely related to the Fibonacci Sequence, there is a common mathematical ratio found in nature that can be used to create pleasing, natural looking compositions. This is called the Golden Ratio {also known as the Golden Mean, Golden Section or the Greek letter phi.}. The Golde Ratio describes the perfectly symmetrical relationship between two proportions, approximately equal to a 1:1.61 ratio, and the SAV logo is composed within this ratio. 2018 Brand Guidelines» 11 «
Type {brand font} SAV Digital Environments uses Open Sans as the brand font, specifically Open Sans Light, Semibold and Bold. Other weights are approved, but when using any form of italic or heavy, please email marketing@savinc.net for specific use-case approvals. When Open Sans is unavailable, you can use universally accepted Helvetica Neue as a backup. Do not use serif fonts, script fonts or any other font that you would consider fancy. SAV is a technology driven integration firm that s modern and sophisticated and we do not want fonts to deter or distract from the brand. Type {logo fonts} The SAV logo mark are individual glyphs within the Mayo Dingbats font. Digital Environments is in Steelfish Bold. Do not use either of these fonts outside of the logo. These fonts are modern, bold and techie, and only meant to be used within the logo {never as a brand font such as in body text}.

Colors When the SAV logo appears on a white background, use our primary, authorized colors. When it appears on a black background, reverse the word mark to white while still retaining the primary orange SAV mark. Monochrome & Solids Though our primary colored logo is preferred, it is ok to use our solid monochrome versions, ie. black or white, when special circumstances exist. Once a 50% color shade variation is reached, reverse the logo to the alternate variation. Solid logos are only used in unique scenarios that demand and benefit from such stylization. Permission for use is required at all times.

Imagery When placing our2 color logo on an image, in most cases always apply a 30% black tint to the entire image to maintain logo legibility, depending on the image. For example, if it s a night time photo, applying a 30% black tint would make it extremely dark, so maybe reduce the tint to 20% or so. Your best judgement shall prevail with legibility of the SAV logo being top priority. If the image cannot be tinted that much, you can use our white monochrome logo with a 20 30% black tint over the image. If the image cannot be tinted at all, with permission you can use our watermarked logo in the corner which is either the white or black monochrome logo with a 20% transparency applied to it, so that means the logo would be at 80% oppacity, giving it subtle branding. 30% tint 20% tint 2018 Brand Guidelines» 14 «
Testimonials I consider SAV Digital Environments to be the most professional home electronics and automation firm with whom I have ever worked (and I have done projects in the greater NYC and Bozeman, MT areas with 4 different firms). Their staff are extremely knowledgeable across a wide range of products and service offerings. The attention to detail, even after the job is complete, is perhaps their biggest asset and truly differentiates SAV from their competition. I am a repeat customer and would use them again without hesitation. T. Wagner {2017} SAV is one of the most professional companies I have ever worked with. They are timely, courteous and professional. SAV really knows their business from systems to wiring to functionality. I would recommend them to anyone who needs AV services. Jeff B. {2017} So professional, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful! These guys are the cream of the crop of digital environments! They are truly the best. You will be so happy to work with them. Anne Marie C. {2016} We have been clients of SAV for several years, and are extremely satisfied with their professionalism, responsiveness, knowledge, and skills. SAV has set up and/or maintains several systems within three residences on our ranch, including security, television, internet, business machines, and audio-video. They are very responsive with any problem that occurs, either walking us through the solution or showing up to do it themselves. Their employees are courteous, clean, knowledgable, and a pleasure to interact with. Highly recommend. Mike & Jeanne B. {2015} 2018 Brand Guidelines» 15 «
