Good work.

Everything you need to produce work for Blue Collar Visibility: designers, printers, agencies, and partners. Use these files and rules so everything you make looks like it came from us.

Our signature Blue Collar Visibility
Deep navy. A blue signal. The full name. Download SVG

1. Built with purpose.

Keep shapes solid and language direct. Our brand reflects the work behind it.

2. Made to be seen.

Give the open ring and blue signal room so they stay the point of focus.

3. The whole name matters.

Always show all three words at the same size and weight. Never shorten the name.

American roots.
A deeper palette.

Navy leads. Signal blue draws the eye. White is the base; neutral grays add structure. Use blue as a deliberate accent, not as the default text color.

Use contrast with intent.

Navy (14.1:1) and signal blue (5.17:1, AA for all text sizes) both support white text. Use navy body copy on white or light gray. Avoid blue on navy (2.7:1), navy on blue, and small text over patterns.

Colors are specified in sRGB. For physical materials, ask your printer to convert and proof against the intended stock; no universal CMYK or spot-color match is prescribed.

White / navy 14.1:1 White / blue 5.17:1 Navy / light gray 12.9:1

WCAG contrast ratios, rounded. These combinations meet AA for normal text.

Kanit. Confident, without shouting.

One family ties the identity together. Use weight and scale for hierarchy, with generous spacing in supporting copy.

Highlight with a skew.

Text highlights are always a solid signal-blue block skewed about 12°, with the words in white and upright: like this. Highlight one word or a short phrase per headline, on white or navy. Never straighten the block, use another color, or highlight body copy.

The logo uses −0.045em tracking and 0.88 line height before outlining. Don’t rebuild the wordmark by typing it. Use the downloadable paths. Fonts are self-hosted; the kit includes Kanit’s OFL license.

Stars and stripes.
A rhythm of our own.

A flag-inspired texture, not a literal flag. Staggered stars and paired stripes repeat seamlessly across covers, borders, and supporting panels.

Pattern orientation

192 × 144 tile · transparent SVG · repeat at a consistent scale

Download tile

Tonal only, so it stays in the background.

Navy at 9% for stars and 7% for stripes. Use on white or light gray, for covers, panels, and edge treatments. Use the vertical tile for tall formats like roll-ups, door panels, and phone screens. There is no full-color version: don't recolor the tile in navy and blue.

Keep content on solid ground.

Put the logo and reading text on a solid panel with its own clear space, even over the subtle tile. Repeat without stretching or rotating.

Real work.
Real people.

Photography carries much of what we say. Show actual tradespeople doing actual work: candid, well lit, and honest about the job.

On the job

Catch people mid-task.

Focused on the work, not posing for the camera. Real job sites, real homes, real gear.

Hands and tools

Get close to the craft.

Close-ups of hands, tools, and materials show skill without needing a caption.

People and results

Show who it helps.

Tradespeople with customers, and the finished job. Natural moments, not handshakes for the lens.

Don't Low contrast, stretched, or over faces

The full logo is too detailed to sit on a sharp photo: keep it on a solid navy band or white panel, or on a photo softly blurred so the scene stays readable but the detail doesn't compete. Otherwise use the symbol alone, either as a mask filled with the photo or in white over a dark, calm area (add a soft navy gradient if the area needs it). Keep the full name nearby on the same piece.

Do

Natural light and true color. Worn workwear and everyday settings. Diverse crews. Leave calm areas in the frame for text. Use only the symbol on photos; keep the full logo on a solid panel.

Don't

Staged studio stock, spotless hard hats, thumbs-up grins, heavy filters, HDR, or vignettes. No AI images shown as real customers or jobs, and no competitor logos or unreadable safety violations in shot.

Use photos you have the rights to: our own shoots, or licensed stock such as Pexels or Unsplash. Get written consent from anyone recognizable, and credit the photographer where the license asks.

Mark the SI.
Keep the brand ours.

Some of what we offer is powered by SI (Super Intelligence), our name for AI. The sparkle tells people where that is, honestly and quietly. It labels a feature; it never stands in for our logo.

SI sparkle, navy and blue Mixed / navy + blue, the default
SI sparkle, navy Mono navy / quiet, small sizes
SI sparkle, blue Mono blue / one accent per view
SI sparkle, white White / dark surfaces
Animated SI sparkle Animated / while SI is working
Animated SI sparkle, navy Animated mono navy
Animated SI sparkle, blue Animated mono blue
Animated SI sparkle, white Animated mono white / dark surfaces
Animated SI sparkle, black Animated mono black

Use the animated sparkle only while SI is generating or thinking, then switch back to the still icon. It holds still for people who turn off motion, and it never loops on the logo or as decoration.

In the interface Buttons and badges for SI features only

Do

Use the sparkle only where SI does the work: a feature, a report, a button. Keep it next to a plain word like "SI-assisted". Keep it separate from the logo, with the logo's clear space between them.

Don't

Don't merge the sparkle into the logo or swap it for the Open sight symbol. Don't use it as decoration or on things a person made. Don't recolor it outside navy, blue, white, or black, or add glows and gradients.

Naming: say "SI" everywhere. Where people meet us for the first time (landing pages, ads, sign-up, onboarding), use the AI/SI combo, like "AI/SI-assisted", so newcomers recognize it. "Visibility Assistant" is a placeholder product name. Say what the SI does in plain words, and tell people when a person checks the result.

Speak like someone
who knows the work.

When you write for us, be direct, grounded, and confident. Respect the skill and effort behind each business. Explain what we do, who it helps, and what the next step looks like.

Say it plainly

“Help the right customers find your business.”

Instead of “Unlock unparalleled market dominance.”

Lead with evidence

“Here’s what changed, and how we measured it.”

Use actual results. Don’t invent numbers, guarantees, or testimonials.

Make the next step clear

“Tell us about your business.”

Use an invitation people understand. Keep the tone human.

Sample copy shows tone only. Get our approval before publishing any claim about services or results.

Let the work take center stage.
