Style guide

One language for web, print & signs.

Your dove and script stay exactly as they are. Everything around them, colour, type, photography and layout, gets a modern, welcoming system.

01 · Logo

Your logo, traced to clean vector.

Nothing was redrawn. The supplied artwork was traced colour by colour, so it now scales from a favicon to a 12-foot banner without blur.
