Story
Look around you.
There are people.
And things made by people.
Groundbreaking inventions.
They are part of our everyday.
We can’t imagine a world without them.
All made possible because
someone envisioned a solution.
Because someone took on a quest
to find the answer.
So here we are, Quess.
Driving the brand is the symbol
for mankind's passion for progress.
The means of discovery of new frontiers.
The catalyst for creation of new markets.
The oldest carrier of multitudes.
Indispensable even today.
The backbone of attack and defence strategies.
The conqueror of untamed waters.
“A Mari Usque Ad Mare"
"From Sea to Sea"
The strong, the steadfast, the ever moving,
SHIP.

Quess Corporate Identity & Brand Standard Manual
Logo
This is the standard
logo unit for all
communication.
The logo has two
elements: a logomark
and a logotype.
The logomark
represents the hull of
a ship, making waves,
forging ahead. The
type has been custom
cut to create a unique
logotype for Quess.
Do not try to recreate
the logo. Use the unit
from the master
artwork file.
Reverse
When the background
takes on the brand colour
blue, the logo is
represented in white.
Vertical
When the canvas is taller,
the vertically stacked logo
may be used.

Logo
Black and White
In case of embossing,
engraving, etching
and in situations
where colour cannot
be added, the black
and white logo version
is permitted.
Minimum size
To ensure that the subtle
details of the logo are
always reproduced clearly,
do not go lower than the
minimum sizes specified.
Re-sizing should be done
only by proportionately
scaling the vector artwork.
2.5 cm
1.3 cm
Exclusion zone
A minimum clear space
helps highlight the logo,
giving it greater
prominence. A clearly
defined exclusion zone
should, therefore, always
be maintained around
the logo. This is
calculated by using the
letter‘Q’ of the Quess
logotype around the logo
as illustrated here.
Ensure that it is never
compromised by any
graphic, text or imagery.

Logo
Dos
The logo is used only
against a white background.
The logo is reversed when
the background takes on
the brand colour.
The logo is reversed when
placed on an image, provided
the image has a tint of the
brand’s blue colour.
Don’ts
Do not try to recreate the
logo for any reason.
Always use the unit from
the master artwork file.
Do not tilt
Do not change the colour
Do not shrink
Do not rearrange
the logo elements
Do not use any effects
Do not add gradients
Do not add any shadows
Do not interchange the transparent and opaque sections of
the logomark
The proportion of the
logotype with respect to
the logomark cannot
change.
The logotype can never be
used without the
logomark and vice versa.

Brand Colours
Copper Sulphate
Blue
Resembling brilliant blue
skies and crisp, fresh
atmosphere, this colour is
rare and mesmerising. It
creates a pleasant
environment, which
immediately puts one at
ease. Calmness fosters
trust. Which begets loyalty.
Pantone 313c
R-00, G-156, B-206
C-100, M-00, Y-15, K-00
This magnificent blue is a
positive colour and a mark
of progress. It is indicative
of the universe and its
extraordinary scale. The
multi-dimensional copper
sulphate crystals are
symbolic of the brand’s drive
for multi-faceted growth.
Steel Grey
This colour is representative
of maturity. With age comes
experience, which sharpens
wisdom. Maturity brings
stability to any situation. Just
like the colour grey
stabilises strong hues.
Making the colour indicative
of steadfastness.
Pantone Cool Grey 10C
R-106, G-110, B-115
C-10, M-00, Y-00, K-75
This solid colour conjures
composure and evokes the
thought of a trustworthy and
responsible friend.

Typography
Comercially
Printed Meterial
As a serif font, it projects
the seriousness of the
brand. Its weight values
make it highly effective for
display applications
including packaging,
advertising and headlines.
For headlines
Linotype
Centennial
Light-Italic
Roman-Italic
Bold-Italic
This font is to be used for
body copy. It is preferred
because of its legibility in
smaller sizes and the way it
complements the logotype.
For body copy
Sapient Sans
Regular-Italic
Medium-Italic
Bold-Italic
Office Typeface
Cambria is the serif font
selected for headlines for
internally produced
communications.
For headlines
Cambria
Regular

Arial has been selected as
an alternative sans serif
typeface for internally
produced communications
for its clarity and wide
availability. Arial should
therefore be used for items
such as emails, letters etc.

Imagery
The imagery needs to
capture the main essence
of the vision and mission
of Quess. The images used
need to showcase
professional, skilled
individuals eager to connect
and help their business
grow. The image style gives
a direct message, which
states,“We are here to
do business.”
The images should
preferably have a blue and
grey tone. If an image is
multicoloured then multiply
copper sulphate blue to it.
Illustration
Similar to the treatment of
the logomark, the icons and
illustrations should be
minimalistic, flat and bold.
They should be represented
in brand colours only.

Grid
Vertical Grid for
A3 and A4 sizes.
In the grid, the logo is the
base. Divide the width of the
page by 3. That becomes the
width of the logo on the layout.
The corresponding height of
the logo becomes the height
for the each box of the grid.
Using the Q of Quess,
measure the margin around
the borders. No headline or
body copy should surpass
the margin. Only images,
background and type
treated as image can bleed.
Place a short headline here
For longer headlines use
this space.
The exclusion zone of the logo
defines the height of the page
where no content can be placed.
