Brand
The logo, its variants and its rules.
The official logo files, the brand colours and the rules for reproducing them. Everything here is free to download.
Available formats
SVG is the reference format: it stays sharp at any size and is suitable for print. The PNG, exported large and on a transparent background, is for tools that cannot read vector files: word processors, presentations, publishing platforms.
The variants
The animated variant
The header of this site carries an animated version of the symbol, in which the satellite travels its orbit. It belongs to the site and is not distributed: everywhere else, the fixed logo is the one to use.
Application icons
All of them carry the symbol, with no variant and no simplification. The two meant for home screens are square and opaque: iOS and Android apply their own mask on top.
The colours
Two colours carry the brand, two neutrals support them. Navy structures, orange punctuates — never the other way round. Use the values below as they are.

The typography
Think Global, Act Local
Inter
Headings, body text and interface, across every brand medium. Available under the SIL Open Font Licence.
1989
Newsreader
Reserved for figures and dates, as a counterpoint to Inter and used sparingly. Available under the SIL Open Font Licence.
The rules
They apply to every medium, print and digital alike.
Do
- Leave empty space around the logo equal to a quarter of its height.
- Use the light version as soon as the background is dark, and vice versa.
- Start from the vector file whenever the tool accepts it.
- Scale an image down if needed, never up.
Avoid
- Recolouring the logo, including in the brand colours.
- Stretching, compressing or rotating it.
- Adding a shadow, an outline or an effect.
- Placing it over a busy photograph with no plain background behind it.
- Setting the name in another typeface.
