Brand iden­ti­ty guidelines

• The firm is known only as Swaab, not Swaab Attor­neys, not Swaab Lawyers, or Swaab Legal. Where pos­si­ble Swaab should be hyper­linked to the Swaab web­site www​.swaab​.com​.au
• The fir­m’s is known by our tagline of: Gen­eros­i­ty of Spirit
• Our Brand is intrin­si­cal­ly linked in the icon­ic Syd­ney beach of Bon­di (due to Fed Swaab’s asso­ci­a­tion), this is depict­ed by the wave through the Swaab logo and by the fir­m’s sup­port­ing imagery
• The Swaab brand iden­ti­ty fea­tures a cus­tom designed typo­graph­ic expres­sion of the firm’s name with a graph­ic wave ele­ment (wave) incor­po­rat­ed in a fixed posi­tion. The logo­type has been cre­at­ed from the type­face The­sis The­Sans with cus­tomi­sa­tion to some of the let­ter­forms to aid spac­ing and arrangement.
• The logo­type should always be dis­played in a sin­gle colour, gra­dat­ed or flat, although there are options as to what the sin­gle colour may be. The sig­na­ture colour for dis­play of the logo­type is known as ​‘Swaab Blue’ and is spec­i­fied as Pan­tone (PMS) 646C.
