About Strivra
This guide sets out how the Strivra identity works: the logo, colour, typography and how they come together.
Follow it and everything, from a business card to a website, looks like it came from the same place.
Start with the logo, then colour and type, before any layout.

Logo
The primary lockup, the space around it, and the versions to use.
02.1 Primary logo
The horizontal lockup. Use it wherever there is room for it.
Clear space
Keep at least x of empty space on every side of the logo, where x is half the height of the symbol.
Text, images and the edge of the page all stay outside this area.
Minimum size
Below these sizes the symbol starts to lose detail. Sizes are the height of the symbol.
Lockup: at least 20 px on screen, 6 mm in print. Symbol alone: at least 16 px or 5 mm.
Variations
Use the horizontal lockup by default and the stacked one in square or narrow spaces.
The symbol works alone where the name is already clear, such as app icons and avatars.

Misuse

Colour
The palette, the values, and which combinations to set type in.
Palette
Five colours, used in roughly these proportions. Surface sets the page, primary carries the brand, ink is for text, and secondary and accent support and highlight.

Typography
The two typefaces and the sizes they are set at.
League Spartan
League Spartan sets the name, headlines and short display lines. Use it at Semibold with tight line spacing.
EB Garamond
EB Garamond is for paragraphs, captions, buttons and anything people read at length. Use it at Regular, with generous line spacing.
Training clothes for everyday athletes. Strivra writes in EB Garamond: clear, even and easy to read, from the first line of a website to the small print on a receipt.

Graphic elements
Icons, a pattern, and the photography to aim for.
App icon and avatar
Where space is small and square, use the symbol alone. On app icons it sits on primary at a little over half the icon width; on avatars and profile pictures, on surface.
05.2 Pattern
Symbol upright on an offset grid, mirrored on alternate columns. For packaging, backgrounds and merchandise, never behind text.
Imagery
Natural light, real places and real people. Keep rooms neutral and let brand colour appear on one object or a single overlay.
Photos here are samples from Unsplash, to show the direction.
Applications
The identity on a screen, on paper, and in a place.
