# KronTech Innovations — Brand Guide

**Tagline:** BUILD · SHIP · SCALE
**Personality:** fast, precise, dependable, engineering-first.

## Logo
- **Mark:** a geometric K. The cyan upper arm points up and to the right, for growth and scale.
- **Stacked:** default for profile cards, covers, print, and slides.
- **Horizontal:** headers, navbars, email signatures, and documents.
- **Icon / mark only:** favicons, app icons, avatars, and stamps.
- Use the `on-navy` files when you want the navy background included, `for-dark-bg` on any dark background, and `for-light-bg` on white or light backgrounds.

### Clear space and minimum size
- Keep clear space around the logo equal to the width of the K's vertical bar, times two.
- Minimum size: stacked 120 px wide, horizontal 140 px wide, mark 16 px tall.

### Don'ts
- Don't stretch, rotate, or recolor the logo.
- Don't put the cyan version on white; use the `for-light-bg` files, which use a deeper cyan.
- Don't add shadows, gradients, or outlines.
- Don't place it on busy photos without a navy overlay.

## Colors
| Name | Hex | RGB | Use |

Ratio guide: about 60% navy or white, 30% neutrals, 10% cyan. Cyan is an accent, never a full background.

## Typography
- **Poppins** (free on Google Fonts), used everywhere.
- Wordmark and headings: Poppins Medium, uppercase, wide letter-spacing (about 15%).
- Body: Poppins Regular, sentence case.
- Tagline: Poppins Regular, uppercase, letter-spacing about 25%, with · separators.
- The logo SVGs have the text converted to outlines, so they render correctly without the font installed.
