Brand identity
Name
Solbeg is a brand name that unites all our companies and businesses at all locations worldwide, which develops unity in diversity & sense of belonging to Solbeg international community for all Solbeg employees distributed worldwide and ensures brand consistency for Solbeg customers and partners.
While creating text and media content, branded assets (signboards, souvenir products, stationery, marketing collateral) we always use the name Solbeg and the logo Solbeg – Helmes Group. Helmes Group is an essential tagline always used with the Solbeg logo.
If there is a need to address a specific Solbeg location, please use the following name structure: Solbeg city/country office (e.g. Solbeg Minsk office).
Logo
Designing the logo, we picked up a "Coolvetica" font for modern and minimal style. It's a pure display typeface with tight kerning, intended for big headings and titles. The logo conveys reliability, sustainability, and technological effectiveness. Tag symbolizes the process and hints at the development of the brand, as there is a feeling that after a noticeable underline, it can be continued. The concept of the logo makes it convenient for branding the names of corporate events and locations (offices) of the company.

Colours
Color plays a prominent role in all our communications and is one of the cornerstones of our graphic vocabulary. It is a visual element that quickly identifies our design system. Our colors have been chosen to reflect our personality, remaining welcoming and friendly but always serious and professional. Color combinations are adaptable to tailor graphics and messages for the wide variety of markets and cultures.
Primary colours
Primary colors help consumers to quickly identify a brand. These rich, deep colors are the core colors of the company and can be applied across the range of our corporate and marketing communication and promotional materials.
Accent colours
Accent colors highlight and compliment the primary color palette and used to enhance a color scheme.
Color palette usecase
A color palette is the full range of colors that a brand sets as their identity. This combines all the colors mentioned above into one palette. A color palette provides depth to brand.
Gradients
Our brand gradients produces stunning gradients from brand colors. It blends the colors so that each
shade transitions into the next – creating an overall cohesive effect.
There are several types of color gradients that are commonly used in our brand:
While creating a new gradient use primary and accent colors marked from 1 to 4 according an effect you want to reach (deeper impact - 1, shallow impact - 4) and never mix colors with different tones e.g. red_1 → lilac_3 or violet_2 → lilac_1, etc.
Typography
Typography is a strong extension of our brand’s personality and plays a major role in creating a consistent look for Solbeg across all communications and promotional materials. When applied consistently across the entire range of our corporate and marketing communications, typography helps to unify the appearance of all Solbeg materials, and help our audiences recognize and become familiar with Solbeg brand identity.
Typeface
"Coolvetica" is our primary typeface. It should be used for all communications, including PowerPoint presentations and printed materials. Manrope is used for the body text. When using, observe the size, line height and letter spacing.
Font usage
Using our chosen typefaces, the correct colors and weight, ensures that our typography is consistent and legible across all our communication channels.
Substitute font
Arial is near-copy of Coolvetica, updated slightly. Only when using the brand font is impossible, use Arial as a substitute for web purposes.
Photography
Brand photography represent business visually, and fit with visual identity through use of colors, tone, props, sets and more. These include photos of team, products, process, space and other things that make business unique.
Principles
Our photography style is light and natural. Photos are always authentic, local and optimistic. Light is also used as an active element in our photography, sometimes to the point of slight overexposure. Clean and minimal.
Tonality
Set the tone and convey the message of the brand or choose images that are tonally similar to the main photography in use.
Supporting elements
Icons, shapes, patterns, textures that are used to complement our brand — to pull out pertinent information, break up text and add additional dimensions to designs. They are the building blocks of composition.
Graphics
In our field, some concepts can be abstract. By using graphics we want to give colors, shapes, textures, and meaning to important but invisible things.
Icons
A small graphical representation is a great way to describe some concepts that can seem abstract, by giving an additional layer of information and ties our whole branding together.
