Overview


Our logo is the most recognizable expression of our brand. It represents who we are, how we show up, and the experience we promise every customer. More than a visual mark, it’s a signal of trust and consistency across every touchpoint. These guidelines exist to ensure the logo is used clearly, consistently, and with intention—so it always reflects the strength and personality of our brand.

Logo clear space

To maintain the integrity of the logo and to prevent overcrowding in compositions, a minimum space around the logo should be kept clear from other graphics. This area of isolation allows the logo to stand out by ensuring that any copy, additional identities, or other visual elements are kept clear from the Gladly logo. The clear space, defined as “x,” is illustrated on this page. The measurement is relative to the size and applies to all four sides around the logo.

Usage & guidelines

Gladly Green is the hero color and should be used intentionally rather than applied everywhere. Brand colors on the logo and core assets should never be altered. The primary palette should dominate any design, with the secondary palette serving as supporting contrast to add visual interest. When creating presentations, always use the deck-specific palette to ensure consistency across slides.


Typography

Primary typeface – Chalet

The Chalet font family has been chosen as the Gladly brand typeface for its character and versatility. The face strikes a balance between a clean functional aesthetic and a friendly, optimistic feel.

To maintain a modern & heroic presence, the typeface should be negatively tracked slightly. It should always appear tight, not loose or open.

Usage & guidelines

When Chalet cannot be embedded or is unavailable, use system fonts as specified in our fallback guidelines to preserve readability and brand integrity.

Hierarchy

This is a reference for how to successfully create typeface scale hierarchies. This is a guide for how to maintain legibility when there are multiple levels of information.


Alternate typeface – Helvetica Neue

Helvetica Neue has been chosen as the
Gladly alternative brand typeface based on its parallels to Chalet. Helvetica Neue is only to be used in instances where Chalet is unavailable, such as in Keynote presentations or native apps.

As With Chalet, the typeface should be kerned between―20pt & 0pt, depending on the size of the the copy. It should always appear tight not loose or open.

Photography

Overview


The following direction and examples are intended to help shape Gladly photography usage and future shoots. Gladly imagery focuses on both the customer and agent story in a way that is true to the Gladly narrative.

A woman in a striped shirt relaxes on a couch, smiling while looking at her phone. Sunlight streams in through a window with a vase of flowers nearby.

Customer tone

Honest

Authentic

Reliable

Positive

Customer shots should feel in-the-moment and honest, with high production value. Clean, natural lighting and slightly shallow depth of field will help create an uplifting and positive tone, while simple styling and propping will help keep the focus on the subject.

Scenes

Our photos should always showcase customers interacting with premium brands in an authentic way, across a range of modern scenarios and locations. Scenes should vary across appropriate locations, devices, demographics, and ethnicities.

When possible, additional propping (such as a box to represent an order or luggage to represent travel) should be included as an alternate shot, to allow for flexibility in later applications/communications.

Composition

To “crop” an image is to remove or adjust the outside edges of an image (typically a photo) to improve framing or composition, draw a viewer’s eye to the image subject.

Agent tone

Empowered

Rewarding

Positive

Heroic

Agent photography should showcase representatives in a way that presents their job positively and heroically. This will help to elevate settings and poses that may otherwise appear “stock-like”.

Agents’ expressions should always convey pride, happiness, and satisfaction.

Special considerations should be made to the lighting and focus to align them with the consumer lifestyle photography. Combined with clean, simple propping, this will bring warmth to settings that are likely to have less natural light and can often feel cold.

Iconography

In the instances that icons are needed, there are two styles that serve as a guide for their future creation, dependent on both context and content.



Channel icons


The channel Icons should be used when there is a need to represent the mode of communication between a representative and customer. These icons are created with a simple rule with rounded edges and are always on solid backing discs to help them stand out against photography.

Channel icon example

asdf

Monoweight icons


When illustrating a concept or topic, the Monoweight icon style should be used. This type of icon is created in the same fashion as the Channel Icons, but should always be without a backing object, as they often appear in multiples and risk becoming busy very quickly. Whenever possible, they should be paired with a title or headline.

Monoweight icon example

Website styling

Grid structure

The Gladly Design System uses a padding and spacing scale of 4px. Wherever possible, using increments of 4px when creating padding distances between elements and components.

The Gladly marketing site includes a 24 Column Grid, with a starting size of 1920px wide, which can be used as a starting point to establish a range of layouts and treatments based on the variety of content needs.

The site is built to be responsive across a number of breakpoints, but consideration should be given to how content is displayed, scales & reformats at mobile sizes.

Surfaces

Surfaces define the layers and depth of our visual hierarchy. They create distinction between background elements, content containers, and interactive components.

Text

Text styles establish visual hierarchy and readability across all Gladly communications. Our type system defines consistent sizes, weights, and spacing that guide readers through content with clarity and ease. From headlines that capture attention to body copy that informs, each text style serves a specific purpose in our typographic hierarchy. Proper application of these styles ensures our message is always accessible, scannable, and aligned with our brand voice.

Buttons

Default

Buttons are the primary call-to-action elements that drive engagement and guide users through key interactions. Our button system includes clear visual states—default, hover, active, and disabled—that provide intuitive feedback and reinforce usability.

Our Gladly highlight graphic

The Gladly Highlight is a deliberate emphasis tool used sparingly within headlines or subheads to call attention to a single key term or a short 2–3 word phrase. It’s designed to sharpen meaning and guide the reader’s eye—never to decorate or overwhelm.

The highlight should not be used on full sentences, not applied to multiple words within the same statement, and not used in multiple colors. It must always follow the prescribed styling without variation. When used with restraint, it reinforces clarity, hierarchy, and Gladly’s confident, people-first voice.
