Brand Guidelines

The Aeon Marks

These Guidelines cover the Aeon marks in word or logo form.

This set of marks are collectively referred to as the "Aeon Marks".

The sources of official Aeon logos are kept on GitHub.

The official Aeon brand colour is #009b77.

The Aeon logos should only ever be coloured Black, White, or the Aeon Brand colour.

Different Shades or Tints of #009b77 can be used when it improves legibility or clarity of text or UI elements.
