CAIRL brand guidelines — logo, color, typography, badge system, and legal requirements for the Internet passport.
Brand Overview
CAIRL's visual identity is built for institutional trust. Every element — from the bracket motif to the Trust Blue palette — reinforces the core message: identity infrastructure that is precise, calm, and principled.

Brand system
The CAIRL brand system consists of five interconnected components:
- Assets — Downloadable social banners, profile images, virtual backgrounds, and email signature files.
- Logo — The [CAIRL] wordmark, [C] compact mark, and product lockups.
- Color — Primary, extended, and semantic color palettes with accessibility compliance.
- Typography — IBM Plex Mono (brand) and IBM Plex Sans (body/UI) type system.
- Badges — Trust badge specifications, placement rules, and misuse guidelines.
- Legal — Trademark, copyright, and third-party asset policies.
Design principles
The visual system follows three principles drawn from the brand personality:
- Precise — Exact values, locked geometry, no approximation. Every color has a named token, every mark has defined clearspace, every font weight has a specified role.
- Calm — Minimal palette, generous whitespace, no decorative elements. The brand communicates through restraint.
- Principled — Consistent rules applied uniformly. No exceptions for context, no special-case variations.
