vCISO Lite · Press & media
Media kit
Everything here is free to use in coverage of vCISO Lite and Other20 Advisory. Use the files as provided. The marks are trademarks, and redrawing or recoloring them makes them something else. Questions or a format you don't see: [email protected].
Primary mark
Icon plus wordmark. The default for any context wide enough to carry it. White ground is primary; the dark variant is for dark backgrounds only.
Icon
For square crops: favicon, avatar, app icon, social meta. Never use the icon as a substitute for the primary mark where the full lockup fits.
Clear space & minimum size
Clear space is measured in x, where x is half the icon's side. Keep 1x free on all four sides: no type, rules, or image edges inside it.
Minimum sizes
Below these sizes the 3px stroke and the “vC” counters close up. If you need the mark smaller, use the icon, not the lockup.
What not to do
Four things that turn the mark into a different mark. The files in this kit are correct as provided; nothing below should ever need doing.
Don't distort
Scale proportionally. Never stretch to fill a box.
Don't recolor
Color is claimed as a feature of the mark. Teal and slate only.
Don't place on brand teal
The stroke disappears. Use white or a ground darker than #0b1220.
Don't reset the wordmark
Inter 700 at −0.01em tracking. Use the file; don't retype it.
Other20 Advisory
The professional-services arm, named for the 80/20 split: software delivers 80% of compliance work, expert humans handle the essential 20%. A sibling mark with its own palette, slate and amber, so it can stand alone in engagements where the platform isn't the primary artifact. The wedge is 72°, exactly 20% of the circle.
Don't co-lock the two marks side by side. Where both entities appear, lead with one and name the other in text.
Color
Contrast ratios are against white, or against #0b1220 for the dark-ground values. They decide what each color is allowed to do: brand teal is a large-type and graphic color, not a body-text color.
Type
Four roles. All are open-source and available from Google Fonts, so there is no licensing step for a publication reproducing the brand. The wordmark's Inter is locked to the mark and is not used elsewhere.

Icons also ship at 16, 48, 64, 128, 180 and 256 px, and the lockups at 320, 640 and 1280. See README.txt for the complete list, or grab every mark in one zip. Light PNGs are transparent outside the mark; dark PNGs have the #0b1220 ground baked in. Product screenshots and founder headshots are in the newsroom media kit.
