Pulsar Brand Manual

 

Pulsar clients carry out activities both mundane and extraordinary, seeking communication solutions in remote locations and challenging circumstances where connectivity isn't assured.

The Pulsar brand reflects the daily lives of our customers through vibrant earth-inspired color palettes, dramatic action and landscape photography, and typography from corporate and governmental agencies active in the space race, updated to today’s graphic standards for web and print.

Name and ‘Beyond’ Tagline

We selected the name Pulsar in recognition of the pulsing stars that serve as the universe’s most reliable beacons. Our tagline ‘Beyond’ reflects the relentless innovation and rational explorations of new solutions we bring to everything we do.


Primary Color Palette

Our primary color palette is a range of blues evoking the eternal shades of the sea and sky at different times. Psychological associations with blue include serenity, reliability, and fidelity. Mineral Gray, a bluish gray, is our neutral selection to harmonize with all other colors.

Typography

We use SwissNow, a new take on rational san-serif typestyles. Preferred weights are Book, Light, and Medium. Where SwissNow cannot be used, and in general applications such as email, we use Helvetica.  


Logos

There are three versions of the Pulsar logo, to accommodate various applications. 

  • The logotype is for applications where vertical space is limited, or a text-only approach is merited. 
  • The logo with star lockup is our primary logo and used where branding is the primary focus, such as our web site. 
  • The logo with tagline is used in display applications such as trade show booths.

The following are provided in .png format using the RGB color specifications. For print-ready versions in CMYK, please provide application and send a request through your Pulsar contacts.

Icons

The primary icon is the star. The star shape is taken from the abstraction of the rotational axis and radiation axis of a Pulsar, indicating motion and connection. The Pulsar star is meant to represent the stability, connectivity, & global versatility that our organization offers. We call the curved shape of the star the 'swoop' and have extended it for use in a wave icon for maritime and tree icon for natural resources. We also repurpose the shape as other elements including arrows and graphs.
