Visual identity

Supporting graphics

The visual elements include basic and conceptual icons, basic and detailed product illustrations, general illustrations, application drawings, charts, graphs, and infographics.

Icons

Icons are essential for communicating information quickly and clearly across all brand touchpoints. The line-based icon follows a clean, consistent design with a consistent stroke weight and rounded corners that create an approachable look. It ensures clarity, simplicity, and visual harmony across every size and application.

Colors

Our icons are used exclusively in solid primary colors—white, beige, blue, or dark gray. Icons can be used on gradient backgrounds, but the icons themselves should never include gradients.

The following categories of icons have been created for ease of reference. New categories of icons will be added as and when they are developed.

  • Service and maintenance
  • Industry and application
  • Digital
  • Energy
  • Generic

Dos

Product illustrations

Product illustrations can be either basic or detailed. They can be used in primary or accent colors. When necessary, they can also be used in the provided tints only.

Basic product illustrations

Basic product illustrations feature low level of details and are designed so that they can be used in small sizes. Basic product illustrations can be used as components in the infographics. They can also be used in animations, facility branding, and design patterns.

  • Abstract but recognizable product shape
  • One-dimensional, flat appearance, no perspective

General illustrations

General illustrations can be either basic or detailed. They typically represent concepts or objects without a direct connection to the business. These illustrations are conceptual in nature and are used to enhance visual appeal or symbolize specific ideas. The illustrations are realistic and avoid exaggerated or overly stylized looks.

Characters show natural, basic facial expressions to keep a consistent and authentic feel. Use accent and extended accent colors carefully, ensuring they do not overpower the primary colors in the illustrations. They can be used in PowerPoint presentations, websites, apps, and infographics. Additionally, they may be applied in animations, facility branding, and as design patterns.

Colors

Use colors as close as possible to the real colors of products or environments.
