Branding & Style Guide

Company Name


The legal name of the corporation is AvaCon, Inc. and should be used in all legal documents, banking instruments, or contracts. For general usage, the correct styling is AvaCon.

Note that the name should be intercapped with a capital A and a capital C, never Avacon or avacon.

AvaCon Brand Logo


The AvaCon logo incorporates two graphic elements, the “many worlds” symbol and the wordmark AvaCon, with the first half of the word in AvaCon red, and the second half in AvaCon black. The company logo should appear prominently in all materials published either in print or electronic format. Note that the word AvaCon is a graphic element, inseparable from the symbol. The word should not be recreated with any other font, should not be stretched, resized, or warped in any way, and cannot appear in a different position with respect to the “many worlds” symbol for any reason.

The AvaCon logo includes the symbol and the word “AvaCon” locked together as shown.

Logo Structure


The following diagram is the complete structure for the AvaCon brand logo and is used for all appropriate forms of media.

AvaCon_Logo_Structure.jpg

1. “Many Worlds” visual entity is part of the primary logo, but is also only currently used for social media accounts. The primary logo when used, should always have this identifier alongside.

2. The wordmark along with the “Many Worlds” visual piece make up the primary logo

3. The AvaCon wordmark makes up half of the logo for the brand.

 

Acceptable Logo Variations


Three logo variations are acceptable for the AvaCon logo. Horizontal, Stacked and Short. The Horizontal logo is the preferred version for most media types and should be used when able, the second choice is the stacked version and should be used when the horizontal design would be cumbersome. Lastly the short version is for social media uses, such as Twitter, Facebook, ect…

AvaCon “Many Worlds” Logo


From time to time, you may also need to use just the “many worlds” symbol, such as for an icon or social media image. The icon alone may be used independently from the logo when necessary, but again, should not be stretched, resized, or warped in any way.

The “Many Worlds” symbol in the AvaCon logo represents the multitude of worlds and places in the metaverse, across many platforms, and the diversity of people, ideas, and communities in both physical and virtual reality.
