Brand Guidelines

The face of
PromoSphere.

A concise reference for anyone building with the PromoSphere brand — logo, colour, type and voice. Use it so everything we publish feels like it came from the same place.

Logo

The PromoSphere mark combines a stylised globe with strong wordmark. Always use the transparent version so it sits cleanly on any background.

Primary lock-up

PromoSphere logo

Use on light and mid-tone backgrounds. The transparent PNG scales from 64 px to poster size.

Clearspace

PromoSphere logo

Maintain a buffer of at least the height of the “P” around all sides.

What to avoid

Stretched logo

Don’t stretch

Low-contrast logo

Don’t fade

Logo on dark

Use the light variant on dark

Icon / favicon

PromoSphere globe icon

The globe mark works as a standalone icon for favicons, app icons and social avatars. Always keep it at least 32 px so the continents remain legible.

Colour

Built on an earthy, warm palette drawn from African landscapes — burnt umber, sand and sienna. Every tone has a role: dark for authority, cream for breath, sienna for action.

Burnt Umber

#2b2118

Headlines, dark backgrounds, ink bands

Warm Cream

#faf8f5

Sand

#faf6f0

Muted Gold

#8b7355

Accent on light bands, secondary text

Burnt Sienna

#a0522d

Typography

Two typefaces: a refined serif for headlines and an open sans-serif for everything else. Weight and spacing do the work — no extra decoration needed.

Cormorant

Display & headlines · 300–700, italic

Light

Regular

Medium

Semibold

Bold

Karla

Body, UI & labels · 400–700

Karla is the workhorse of the system. It sets body copy, navigation, buttons and captions with clarity and warmth. Use it at 14–18 px for body, 12 px for labels, and always at 400 or 600 weight.

The small-caps eyebrow style — uppercase, 0.32 em letter-spacing, semibold — is reserved for section labels and metadata. It signals hierarchy without shouting.

Karla Regular — body & captions

Karla Medium — emphasis

Karla Semibold — buttons, labels

Karla Bold — strong callouts

Voice

“We work in the tradition of the great agencies — writing before decorating.”

Confident, not loud

State the point plainly. Avoid hype, exclamation marks and hollow superlatives.

Warm, not casual

We are approachable, but we are also senior. Respect the reader’s intelligence.

Specific, not abstract

Name the client, the market, the outcome. “We shipped” beats “we delivered solutions.”

Pan-African, always

Our lens is continental. We reference Nairobi, Lagos, Kigali — not “Africa” as a monolith.
