2THE LOGOThe Nova Mutual Logo is intentionally simple which serves to aid in its recognizability and memorability. It utilizes a clean, rounded, sans-serif font with a touch of vibrant teal. The eect is both professional, yet approachable & friendly.LOGO FILES
Most of the time you’ll need the logo on white. In that case use the one that looks like this.Sometimes you’ll need to place a logo on a dark background. Use the reversed one for this.Sometimes you’ll need a logo for a fax. Since one can’t fax colour, use the greyscale logo.
3THE FONTSNova uses two dierent font families.Atten Round New is used by the Brand Department. We use this it in all of our marketing materials. Avenir Next is available to the whole company. We should be using this font in the rest of our documentation.AVENIR NEXT FONT
