GCC Brand

Updated

A guide to the Grace Community Church Visual Brand.

Simple” forms the basis of our values, and the visual brand aims to be a reflection of this. It’s made of a series of simple shapes, friendly colours and clear typography. Simplicity means it’s also more accessible. Our hope is our material – whether on a screen or in print – speaks with clarity and encourages engagement.

The GCC logo has two elements: a simple square at 45° (the Gem) and a Work Sans-based wordmark. These can live separately or together. The square forms the basis for all of our department logos, often adorned with a simple thick, rounded-stroke line-drawing. The square can appear filled or hollow (with a thick stroke).

Do not add effects to the logo.
Do not stretch or skew it.
Do allow space for the logo to breathe.

GCC is made up of different parts. We’ve given various departments, organisations, groups and themes a colour scheme and a unique Gem, and — sometimes — a custom typeface.
