Approved Variations
There are four color versions for J3's logo to accommodate different scenarios. The logo should never be produced in any other colors. In most cases, the regular full color version should be used, unless the background it is being placed on is dark (use reverse full color version) or the logo is being printed in one color (use one color versions).

Clearspace
All logos require a certain amount of clear space around them so they stand out and are not crowded by other elements. For J3, the clearspace on all 4 sides should be equal to the width of “J” in the logo. These guidelines are scalable, so no matter what size the logo is, this rule can always be followed.
Adding a Tagline
In the case that a tagline or other verbiage needs to be present, a set guidelines have been established on how to style and position the text. This allows complete user control to change the subtext depending on the scenario while maintaining a consistent look throughout J3's materials. If you need to include subtext with the logo in your document, make sure the text matches the following specifications:
- Font: Verdana Italic
- Color: 50% Black, #939598
- Placement: Right of the logo, vertically centered
- Size: Small (6-12pt) Exact size varies depending on logo size and subtext length
See image example for approximate text sizing in relation to logo.

Typography
Typography not only plays a large role in expressing a brand's personality; it is also largely responsible for providing clarity in our messaging. It sets the tone to draw customers in, creates hierarchy to keep them focused, and captures their attention so they continue reading. J3 has a single brand font, Montserrat, with several weight options to provide variety while keeping the same typographic look across materials. It is recommended to download and install this font to your computer so it can be used for all external facing documents.

Image Guidelines
Uniform photography is an integral part of building a strong and consistent brand presence. Having a defined appearance, tone and mood of visual communication is critical. J3's photography should always reflect a high level of professionalism and quality workmanship. Images should be a mix of people and construction related elemetns. Showcase people who are "experts" in their area doing high confidence activities. It is also best when images can have colors that align with your brand colors. Remember images are an extension of your brand.
Application
Business Cards
Like your logo, business cards give a lasting first impression of your brand. The look and feel of your card sets the tone for what kind of business you run, and offers a more personal way to connect with a potential client in comparison to an email. J3's business card is designed to impress while staying sleek, minimal and professional. The layout is simple and clean while the front and back offers dynamic contrast. The paper stock has a matte finish with the “J” on the black side printed in high gloss. This is the standout element of the card that will get potential clients to remember you and reduce the chances of them throwing it away.
