Puck Brand Standards

Inside this Brand Standards Guide, you’ll find the family-focused, yet forward-thinking mindset that sets us apart from other companies in the industry, as well as the personal voice we use in our communications.

package. Therefore, the logo must at all times
be perfectly legible and without obstructions.
For this reason, we ask that designers
maintain a minimum area of clear space
around the logo that allows it to breathe
and stand out. The Puck logo, and all of it’s
variations, must at all times have the clear
space that is specified on this page. This page
also outlines the specific spacing and ratio of
size for the icon vs. the wordmark.

The Puck logo retains its visual strength in
a wide range of sizes. However, there are
sizes at which the logo is no longer clearly
legible. Try to choose promotional items
and layouts which allow the indicated
minimum size to be upheld.

artwork and its proportions have been
specifically determined.

OUR You might have heard it said “It’s not the camera, it’s the
PHOTOS photographer.” It’s more than just an aphorism.

The rule of thirds, composition, subject matter, framing, lighting and shooting

GUIDELINES

Our photos should complement our color
palette. Warm tones, natural, bold and
determined. Subject matter ranges widely,
but in general should feel innovative,
confident and strong. All photos should
be properly licensed/purchased or
attributed if necessary.
Abstract can be appealing. Consider using
abstract images that showcase precision
and high-end materials.
Keep color temperatures warm and natural.
We strive to be good stewards of the land
and want to project this in our images.
Keep it clean. Industrial images, such as
factory/product photos, should appear
pristine and with appropriate safety
measures in place.
Unique perspectives welcome.
Consider selecting and/or cropping an
image to achieve a fresh perspective or
interesting angle.
