Emblem Logo

The emblem logo is our brand symbol. Its shape resembles the molecular-like structure of DNA, reflecting our human-centric approach to medical technology. 

The emblem is the simplest form of the logo. It should be used when the primary logo is too large for the application. The emblem logo can also be used in situations where style is prioritized or brand recognition has already been established, such as when paired with the primary logo or company name on social media.

The emblem logo must always be used in its approved form and never altered. For digital use, it can only be used in the bright blue (#0247FE) or pure white color variations.

Visual language

Graphical Angles

The primary graphical angle for Intelligent Bio Solutions is 45°.

Every time graphical angles are used, they should be led by the 45° angle, with additional angles surrounding.

Visual language

Mono Graphical Angles

The angles can be used in a mono version with a drop shadow. These are to provide subtle detail so that the brand flows, but it’s not overpowering on all pages.

VISUAL LANGUAGE

Supporting Shapes

Studies in visual communication have shown that certain shapes carry specific associations in the human mind, making them effective tools for reinforcing a brand’s intended message to its target audience.

The Intelligent Bio Solutions brand shapes consist of hexagons, circles, and crosses. Their regularity suggests organization, efficiency, and structure. Circles and hexagons are mirrored within our living DNA molecules.

Visual language

Supporting Wave

The wave graphic is intended to add visual appeal across print and digital platforms. The wave’s shape is reminiscent of the human body, symbolizing Intelligent Bio Solutions’ human-focused mission and purpose.

VISUAL LANGUAGE

Imagery

Ideally, all imagery is to be shot and owned by Intelligent Bio Solutions. Color grading is to be applied to images, adding the corporate colors to shade and highlight.

Stock imagery should be carefully chosen to align with the topic at hand.

A BRAND FAMILY

Product Branding

We aim to design all product branding to integrate with the existing Intelligent Bio Solutions logo to form part of a larger growing brand family, ensuring it complements the overarching identity while maintaining distinction and recognition as a standalone brand.

The ‘molecule emblem’ is a unifying visual motif across all existing and potential future brands and products within the Intelligent Bio Solutions brand family.

PRODUCT BRANDING

Intelligent Fingerprinting

The Intelligent Fingerprinting brand follows the same rules as the parent brand: Intelligent Bio Solutions. The key differences are its logo and primary color scheme.

Intelligent Fingerprinting’s primary colors are white (#FFFFFF) and sky blue (#0180FF). It uses the same color scheme as Intelligent Bio Solutions as its secondary color scheme.
