Using the name & mark
The name is FoundersEdge — one word, capital F and E, no space, no apostrophe. Not "Founder's Edge," "Founders' Edge," "Founders Edge," or "FoundersEDGE."
Do
- Write it as FoundersEdge, one word.
- Use the light logo on dark backgrounds, the dark logo on light ones.
- For any square or round avatar, use the bolt-in-a-circle with the FoundersEdge label.
- Keep clear space around the logo equal to the height of the bolt mark.
- Use the mark's amber #FEAF16 on near-black #0C0C0D.
Don't
- Add an apostrophe or a space to the name.
- Compress the wordmark into a square or circle — use the bolt avatar instead.
- Recolor, stretch, rotate, or add shadows/effects to the logo.
- Place the light logo on a light background (or vice versa).
- Crop the wordmark or reconstruct it in another typeface.
