The digital identity of a brand is the way in which it wants to be perceived by its audience. In the social media, it is essential to respect the characteristic aspects of a brand, always alluding to its traits and making the brand recognisable in the same way.
Therefore, the brand not only has its own visual characteristics (a logo, a colour, a font, and its own claimThe claim is the phrase that speaks of the excellence or qualities of a product within the context of an advertising campaign to promote the product or service. It is confused with the slogan, but the difference is that the slogan defines the brand itself, its philosophy or “way of being” while the claim speaks of the qualities of a service or product. Examples:: Slogan: A memorable example is Nike’s hallmark phrase: Just do it. Claim: The one made by Fairy in its initial campaigns: The anti-grease miracle.), but it also has a voice and its own language and particular style of communication. This voice tries to portray the organisation, respecting its mission, vision and values.

Use
It is important to respect the uses, as this provides clarity, uniformity and consistency in communications.
Font hierarchy
The distinction between the different font styles will help prioritise the information and will enable readers to identify the most important aspects of the content.
Bold: This style is used for titles. Titles should be a summary of the most relevant information and should be constructed in an attractive way to attract the reader’s attention.
Regular: For subheadings, quotes, infographics and other small blocks of text that add information. These elements highlight specific aspects of the information, and help readers detect important parts of the content.
Light: The body of information will be where most of the explanation is found. It stands out less than the previous two, so it must be large enough to be completely legible by all users.

Photographs
These types of images are used as resources to further enhance Manusa’s visual universe. We have our own photographs of products and projects. Contact marketing@manusa.com to request images.
General drawings
They should be well-lit, spacious and clear photographs, in which the absence of people is preferred so that the product is the main focus.
Product / detailed drawings
These must provide the details of the product to be shown in an artistic and elegant way. The brightness and contrast of the photographs are very important.
People
They must show people, customers or employees naturally, not looking at the camera. They must not look like studio photos. Generally, they should be warm images that convey transparency, proximity and honesty.
Icons
The icons are graphic resources used to complement different communication items, such as photos, videos, infographics or gifs. The use of pictograms helps our target audience easily identify the idea we want to express, enabling us to share a message with our recipients in a fast, effective manner.
They are organised into two groups: on one hand are those referring to the sectors in which Manusa is present and, on the other, those referring to the specific characteristics of each door or access.
Our design is based on a simple, clean, orderly and elegant composition system. One of the graphic elements used in Manusa’s visual language is the logo, of which we can use its different components.
The corporate colour and fonts will always be used in the design of Manusa’s graphic materials.
