Shapes
Hexagons
Construction
Ratio for the hexagons should be 146:133 - p:x shown below
Hollow
The width of the stroke should be 4% of the height of the hexagon - round down as required
Misuse
Never truncate a hexagon in a way that creates voids. Never cut only a single point of a hexagon
Create oversized hexagons and cut them accordingly - no sharp points, no voids, no half points and more than one point has been omitted
Extended hexagon
Misuse
Never round the sharp edges of this shape
Shapes should always sit flush with the edge of the artwork - Sharp edges should never be seen - there should always be the illusion that there is more to the shape beyond the boundaries of the artwork
Truncated parallelogram
Using a range of between 17% - 34% of the height of the shape as a guide for the corner radius allows us to mimic the corner radius of the logmark. The exposed points should never use the same percentage, and as a general rule, the larger percentage / point should be halved for the smaller point.
Misuse
Shapes that stray too far from the logomark should also be avoided
Shapes should always sit flush with the edge of the artwork - Sharp edges should never be seen - there should always be the illusion that there is more to the shape beyond the boundaries of the artwork
Never round the two other points of the shape, the idea - as indicated by the name of this shape - is for the parallelogram to appear truncated
Alternative truncated parallelogram
Extended parallelogram
Misuse
Shapes should always sit flush with the edge of the artwork - Sharp edges should never be seen - there should always be the illusion that there is more to the shape beyond the boundaries of the artwork
Never rotate these shapes at odd angles
Squircle
Taking the extended parallelogram from AnyVan's visual toolbox. Ratio for the squircle should be 4:3 - y:x shown below.
