Style Guide

Our Logo

Our logo is a symbol of who we are as Oklahoma Baptists.

Advancing the Gospel together looks like hands-on help, sound doctrine and teaching, church mobilization for a cause… and a great logo. Seriously. We represent Christ in all we do, so we want to reflect His creativity and good taste. These standards were created to highlight the thought behind the way we do things, guide further asset creation, and allow for creative freedom.

The Basics

Clear Space

Clear space is 1/2 the height of the logo. This distance is measured from the outermost point of the logo in each direction.

Tagline Version

The tagline version of the logo should only be used at larger sizes, when the tagline will be readable.

Color Backgrounds

Only use the full-color version of our logo on a solid white background. For other applications, use solid Dark Navy or solid White, depending on which offers more contrast with the background.

See our brand colors for details.

Image Backgrounds

When placing our logo on top of an image, use a solid White version of the logo, and apply a 20% black tint to the image.

Fonts

Metropolis

Use for large headings and short, standalone text. Anything larger than 16pt should be set in Metropolis.

HK Grotesk

Use for paragraphs and long-form text. Anything smaller than 16pt should be set in HK Grotesk.
