Brand
Northbridge brand system
A minimal, engineering-first identity built on a bridge-shaped ‘N’ — two pillars, one deliberate span. Use it consistently to signal reliability, craft, and scale.
Logo
Primary, horizontal, and icon marks
Four working variants covering light, dark, mono, and gradient contexts. Vector artwork is provided as SVG.
Symbol
A bridge, hidden in an N
Two vertical pillars connect through a single diagonal span. It reads first as an ‘N’, then as a bridge — the exact metaphor for what we build between systems and teams.
- Geometric. Constructed on an 8-unit grid; every edge aligns to whole pixels down to 16px.
- Premium gradient. Diagonal from Primary
#0B1220through a mid stop to Accent#2563EB. - Restraint. No gloss, no bevel, no shadow inside the mark. Depth comes from color transition alone.
- Scalable. Works from 16px favicon to signage without redraw.
Usage
Clear space & minimum size
Give the mark room to breathe and never render it below the minimums below.
Reserve padding equal to the height of the mark’s left pillar (1×) on every side.
Icon: 16px · Horizontal lockup: 96px wide · Primary lockup: 160px wide.
- · Recolor the mark outside the approved palette.
- · Add outer glow, drop shadow, bevel, or 3D effects.
- · Rotate, skew, or stretch the mark.
- · Place the gradient mark on a busy photograph without a solid plate.
- · Recreate the wordmark in a font other than Manrope 700.
- · Combine the mark with another logo without approved lockup rules.
