Color

Circonus’ official palette includes the colors within our logo as well as a variety of supporting colors.

Identity Colors

The Circonus identity colors are the four distinct hues used within our logo.

Accent Color

Circonus’ main accent color is a specific shade of blue. This color is used for links, buttons, and decorative elements throughout the website.

Additional Colors

Beyond our identity and accent colors, we use a variety of other hues to enrich the brand experience. Orange provides the greatest contrast to the other colors within our palette and is reserved for highest-priority action items.

Iconography

Circonus uses the Font Awesome Pro icon set. For icons of larger size, we prefer the “Light” weight and, on white backgrounds, will embellish them with an offset light, gradient-filled circle. For smaller size icons, we prefer “Regular” weight and no embellishment.

Typography

For larger headings (h1, h2, h3), we use Roboto Slab, Regular Weight.

Circonus’ official font for body text and smaller headings (h3, h4, h5, h6) is Open Sans.

Both of these fonts can be downloaded or referenced via Google Fonts.

Illustration

Illustration helps us to visualize abstract principles related to telemetry data intelligence.

Waves, dots, grids, spikes, and heatmaps — these types of shapes communicate the magnitude and complexity of data we collect and analyze. For more intricate illustrations, we avoid placing text over areas which might impair legibility.

Photography

Circonus supports the use of photography to accompany brand messaging so long as it adheres to the following criteria.

• Humans should be depicted within tidy, well-lit office environments.
• Preferred attire is business casual, but the occasional t-shirt or hoodie is acceptable.
• Facial expressions should be focused or cheerful, and always natural.
• Avoid the use of desaturated or grayscale photos, or those with any obvious color filters.
