Brand Guidelines

Logo Design

The BLOK Capital logo is a foundational element of our visual identity. It features a custom-designed symbol paired with a distinctive logotype, crafted for flexibility across diverse applications and environments. This section outlines the official logo formats, usage guidelines, and visual standards to ensure consistent and impactful representation of the BLOK Capital brand.

For full brand guidelines please see BLOK Capital Brand Guidelines.

The primary logo should be used whenever possible to maintain brand consistency. It includes the logo mark and the logotype in a balanced composition.

In cases where full color printing is not feasible (e.g., due to production cost constraints), a mono color version of the logo should be used. The logo should either be in a dark color on a light background or in a light color on a dark background. Avoid any loss of contrast.
