Brand guidelines
Everything you need to represent RiseNow in co-branded materials, event collateral, and partner communications. Download the kit, or work from the specs on this page.
Logo
RiseNow has two marks. The primary logo is the default for most placements. The tagline lockup pairs the mark with "Built by practitioners. Driven by outcomes." and works best where RiseNow needs to introduce itself, such as a sponsor page or a first-touch email.
Use the primary version on light backgrounds. Use the reversed primary on dark backgrounds.
Primary logo
Reversed primaryEach mark is provided in SVG for web, PNG at 2x for presentations and email, and EPS for print.
Clear space and sizing
Keep clear space around the logo equal to the height of the "R" in the wordmark on all four sides. Nothing should sit inside that boundary, including partner logos, text, or the edge of a slide.
What not to do
The logo is delivered ready to use. Please don't modify it.
Color
Our primary brand colors. Blue is the accent color on dark backgrounds while Blue Deep is used as an accent on light backgrounds.

Typography
RiseNow runs two type systems. The web system uses fonts that install anywhere for free. The deck and print system uses fonts built for Microsoft Office and printed materials. Use the set that matches what you're building and don't mix them.
On the web
Sora sets headings, DM Sans sets body copy, and Newsreader italic handles short accent words inside a heading usually only one to three words. All three are available free through Google Fonts and render consistently across browsers and operating systems. If you're building a co-branded web page and want to match RiseNow's type, these are the fonts to install.
In decks and printed materials
Bahnschrift Light Condensed sets slide titles and section headers. Its condensed form keeps long headings readable without shrinking the type size. Sitka Display italic carries the same short-accent role that Newsreader italic plays on the web: a single word or a short phrase, not a full line. DM Sans is shared across both systems and handles all body copy, callouts, and footnotes. For eyebrows and labels that sit above a title, set DM Sans in all caps with wider letterspacing. It reads cleanly at small sizes and anchors the hierarchy below a Bahnschrift header.
Bahnschrift and Sitka Display ship with Windows and Microsoft Office. They are not installed on macOS by default, so a deck built on a Mac will substitute them without warning. If you can't install them, use Arial Narrow in place of Bahnschrift and Georgia italic in place of Sitka. Send final files as PDF so the type holds regardless of where it's opened.
The Bahnschrift and Sitka specimens above render in their fallback fonts on macOS or any system without Office installed.

How we describe ourselves
A few things to keep in mind when you're writing about RiseNow.
We're practitioner-led, and that's the point. Our people have done this work inside procurement and supply chain organizations before they advised on it. That framing matters more to us than firm size or category labels.
Please don't describe us as boutique. We also avoid superlatives and industry filler, so language like "best-in-class" or "cutting-edge" isn't a fit. Direct and specific reads better than promotional.
Co-branded lockups
When RiseNow appears alongside a partner logo, set both at equal optical weight rather than matching pixel height. The gap between each mark and the divider must be equal on both sides, so the divider sits exactly at center.
The divider mark is determined by the context, not personal preference. For case studies, the X mark is the correct separator. It keeps both brands at equal footing. For co-branded web pages, event signage, etc. where both logos appear together as sponsors or co-hosts, use the pipe instead. The pipe is quieter and works better when the lockup sits at the top of a page where more content follows. Do not swap these.
