Respect area

With the VELUX Commercial logo type, we follow a basic principle of clear space: the minimum amount of clear space around the logo type should be proportionate to the height of the VELUX box.

This principle also applies to the logo type when it is set against a photographic background. The logo type should never be placed alongside distracting elements in a photograph or a layout.

Black and white

Primary logo black and white

The VELUX Commercial logo consists of two boxes with a space between.

If the logo needs to be used in black/white, make sure to keep the boxes and the space. The black and white versions have both boxes in 100% black or 100% white. Never use the logo in an outlined version.

Discrete logo

If the red/black logo is too dominant or too costly to produce in colours, you can choose one of our four grey tone versions. The discrete logotype is transparent inside the boxes and shows the background through the logotype.

The logotype should never be placed on distracting elements in a photograph or layout, but only on calm backgrounds and photos where the background gives a calm and clear visual expression.

If in doubt on when to use this logo version, please contact Christine.bjornager@velux.com

Discrete logo on backgrounds

The logo type should never be placed on distracting elements in a photograph or a layout, but only calm backgrounds and photos where the background is seen through the type in the boxes gives a calm and clear visual expression. If in doubt on when to use this logo version, please contact Christine.bjornager@velux.com

Secondary logo

In the secondary VELUX Commercial logo, the two boxes are placed horizontally, and in line with each other.

Use the secondary logo, if is better suited for the format you are working on.

Respect area

We wish to reserve an area of space around the logotype, which should always be proportionate to the height of the logo box.

This principle also applies when the logotype is set against a photographic background. The logotype should never be placed alongside distracting elements in a photograph or a layout.

Acquisition -
logo migration

This is how we make the brand transition to ensure the brand preference is transferred stepwise.

From October 2020 to Summer 2021, we are making a transition to VELUX Commercial for all former company names.

Post acquisition 1-2 years     More than 1-2 years    Full transition

Logo placement

The main logo can appear in printed materials in four different positions, as shown on the right.

Positions 1 and 2 are the standard positions. You should use these unless an application or template specifies otherwise.

VELUX Commercial primary colours

The VELUX Commercial logo and visual identity is developed within the existing colour palette of VELUX corporate identity.
The anthracite grey, the bright blue and the white are our primary colours and made for bigger surfaces / areas.

They should be used to differentiate us from the characteristic white/red VELUX look.

VELUX Commercial secondary colours

The light blue can be used as alternative to white on large surfaces.

Please note, the bright blue is only to be used as digital spot colour in “call to action” bottoms etc.

The darker blue is also a secondary colour, and thereforeit should NOT be used on big surfaces – but on info-graphic and smaller graphical elements.

VELUX Commercial logo colours

The VELUX Commercial logo emphasizes that this is a division under the VELUX brand by using the red VELUX logo as the foundation.

The black colour with commercial highlights the focus on the commercial market. Because the red is our trademark colour, it is not a widely used colour in our communication, as it is reserved for our logo.

The graphic shows the weight of each colour, and how big and significant role they each should play.

• Dusty blue (marked by white dot): Only use this colour very limited and on small surfaces or for infographics and in graphs.
• Clear blue (marked by black dot): Only use this colour as a digital spotcolour.

Not to do

Photos

Commercial buildings

We aim to capture things as true as possible. Yet always desired. This is generally achieved through finding the right lighting, perspective and materiality. The images will be used for a long time and need to last. The following rules will help you achieve a correct and successful result:

Perspective

Choose clean and confident angles that give the spaces an iconic feel and help the reader understand the spaces, ideally shot from a human height. The lenses used should portray the image as we experience life. Avoid lenses that may distort the building or the world. Use “architectural“ straight angles and preferably a tilt-shift lens where the optical axis can be adjusted directly. This is also important when photographing or rendering technical images of our products.

Light

Soft, natural daylight is preferred and should be the overall source of light. The location should be lit up by the actual light provided by the situation, and not by artificial light sources. Take advantage of the variation of light between dusk and dawn to achieve a difference in mood.

Saturation

The colour saturation should feel authentic and natural. Moderate natural gradings, rather pale than too colourful. Avoid toning, effects and heavy vignetting.

People

We want to portray the people (the users) and their daily life in the building as well as the building itself.

People are portrayed in relation
to the spaces and the architecture. The overall atmosphere of the images is documentary with harmonious compositions.

People are relaxed and not posing. Simple, human and authentic, but always aspiring.

Images are available in
weshare.velux.com

Products

By showing our products in use in buildings, we give the customer a preference and we can show the context and function.

Real situations are in focus and we use all weather conditions to our benefit. Never artificial or contrived.

The interior and exterior of the building should be well documented as well as the building/site and the users in the context of the surrounding area.

weshare.velux.com

Product illustrations

We use this style for the illustration of our products on our website and other applications.

Icons

Our icons are universal, stylistic and simple – not showing too many details and not too drawn like cartoons.

Brochures

The dark grey “banner” is our design element to place the title in a calm and distinguished way on our brochures where we use full-size photos.

The banner can be placed in different places of the frontpage depending on the image but not at the very top or the very bottom for this type of frontpages.

The banner can vary in height depending of the amount of text, but be careful not to make it too heavy.

In our product sheets on page 44 the banner is at the very top to create a calm spot for placing of logo and text, but here we don’t have full-size images.
