Logos:

This is the approved GenSend Logo.

Using the logo:

To protect the integrity of the GenSend brand visual identity, please avoid altering the logo in any way. Use the supplied logo files as is. You may scale the size of the logo if needed, but always scale proportionally. Any use of the GenSend brand mark or GenSend brand assets should be submitted to brandapprovals@namb.net for approval prior to use.

Please keep the following in mind when using the GenSend logo:

  • Do not scale or colorize logo elements independently.
  • Do not place on backgrounds that affect readability of the logo.
  • Do not modify color or logo design or add any elements to the logo.
  • Do not stretch or skew logo in any way. If scaling logo, ensure it is done proportionately.
  • Do not rearrange logo elements.
  • Do not crop or bleed off page.
  • Do not place inside a non-approved holding shape.
  • Do not tilt or rotate.
  • Do not add dimension (emboss, drop shadows, etc.).
  • Do not add stroke or outline.
  • Do not misrepresent NAMB or affiliates.
  • Keep sufficient clear space around logo.

Typography:

GenSend’s brand typography consists of two typefaces, Gotham and Mrs Eaves. These typefaces and their subsequent weights should be used as often as possible on all printed and digital applications. Commitment to these typefaces will create a consistent and strong identity.

On occasion, an accent typeface will be used to match trends. Example fonts are El Hidrant, Roboto, outlined and brush fonts.
If a free font is needed please use Montserrat in place of Gotham and Baskerville in place of Mrs Eaves. These fonts are available on Google Fonts.

Photography:

Photography should be the primary element used in GenSend designs to give a storytelling feel and evoke emotion. GenSend’s photography style is candid and aims to capture real, authentic moments that highlight the people and the ministries being featured. Natural lighting should be used whenever possible; avoid a direct flash or staged lighting. Use full-color photography as much as possible to bring color to design without relying solely on graphics. Duotones, if used, should be used sparingly and are typically best when used as a background/support image (although, full color photography with a dark overlay effect is preferred). With all of our photography, we strive to reflect the diversity in ethnicity, gender, age, background and community that our denomination represents.
