Combo Mark

Our logo features a four arrows forming a capital N in the negative space. This mark represents the clear direction we provide for our clients’ investments. The primary colorway features different colors for each triangle to represent our swift adaptability at locating new investment opportunities. Our wordmark emphasizes the N and S to guide pronunciation and reinforce our role in helping people take their next step toward a strong financial future.

The full Combo Mark should be on all official collateral when space allows. Use the vertical and horizontal variations as needed. Only set it in the following approved colorways primarily showcasing the mark in the Multi colorway. The Black and White colorways are only to be used on brand partnership collateral when required by brand partners.

Usage

Safe Space

When displaying any of the logo variations, maintain ample space around it to avoid crowding or interference from other elements. To achieve this, don’t place anything within the “safe space” equivalent to 10% the width of the logo.

*Of course, there are exceptions: subtle patterns or textures overlapping at 20% opacity or less are acceptable.

Please Don't

To maintain consistency in logo variations across all platforms, avoid the following:

#

Use unapproved color combinations or colors

#

Distort the logo and elements

#

Mask images into the logo

#

Place logo on backgrounds that make elements hard to read

#

Use alt fonts
