Design Guidelines
Introduction
The "Promise" name, along with its logo and associated brand elements, embodies our commitment to delivering data-driven fintech solutions that are both intelligent and innovative. These guidelines are designed to assist our partners, clients, developers, and other stakeholders in understanding how to appropriately use and represent our brand assets in various materials and platforms.
Logo
Wordmark
Our Promise wordmark is a clear visual expression of trust, clarity, and confidence. Set in a geometric sans-serif typeface with soft, rounded forms, it balances professionalism with approachability. The period at the end reinforces a sense of decisiveness — standing as a full stop that signals intent, completion, and integrity.
While the logo can scale across contexts and formats, its proportions and spacing are fixed to maintain consistency and brand recognition across all touchpoints.

Typography
Promise’s typography blends functionality, technological precision, and visual refinement — reflecting the brand’s innovative, intelligent, and layered identity. The type system is designed to evoke a sense of reliability, energy, and modern innovation, regardless of the medium or context.
The brand uses a single communication typeface — Inter, supported by Geomanist, which is reserved exclusively for the logo. This streamlined system contributes to a unified and consistent visual voice across all touchpoints — from web and UI to physical media.
Geomanist Typeface
Geomanist is used exclusively in the Promise logo. Its geometric foundation and clean rhythm convey confidence, precision, and contemporary clarity, grounding the brand’s core identity in a minimal yet distinctive typographic form.
Geomanist should not be used in any other brand communications beyond the logo.


Inter Typeface
Inter is the primary typeface for all brand communications — including website headings, body text, interface components, buttons, printed materials, banners, and social media visuals.
Its neutral forms and adaptability make it ideal for presenting large or small amounts of content while maintaining high legibility across mediums. Emphasis on the Regular and Medium weights supports a calm yet informative rhythm throughout the brand’s visual language.



How to USE
our typography
Do:
Use Geomanist only for the Promise logo.
Use Inter for all other brand communications, both digital and print.
Apply Inter for website headings, body copy, interface components, and buttons to ensure readability and cohesion.
Use the recommended weights: Regular or Medium for Inter.
Ensure typography consistently reflects Promise’s voice — smart, refined, and future-focused.
Don’t:
Use Geomanist outside of the logo.
Mix typefaces or apply unapproved fonts.
Apply special effects, distortions, or outlines that alter font appearance.
Overuse decorative weights or apply bold styles arbitrarily.
Use Promise typefaces in contexts that misrepresent the brand or break visual consistency.
Color palette
The identity of Promise is built on a combination of restrained, near-monochrome tones and a rich, natural accent. This palette supports the overall visual language of the brand — serious, professional, yet open to innovation.

This palette communicates restraint, reliability, and openness to the future. The dark tones provide a stable foundation, while the light tones ensure readability and structure. The green accent acts as a “living” touch, adding energy and signaling the innovative spirit of Promise.
Color priority
Promise’s color hierarchy ensures clarity, consistency, and emotional balance in all brand applications. Core Black serves as the dominant color — a deep, near-black tone used for backgrounds in digital and print environments. It creates a strong visual foundation, conveys professionalism, and enhances contrast for content and interface elements.

Structural Grey supports layout structure and is used for UI frames, containers, and secondary backgrounds, offering depth without overwhelming the design. Neutral White provides high legibility for text and subtle interface elements while maintaining a soft appearance.
Signal Green, the accent tone, should be used selectively to highlight interactive elements, calls to action, and moments of focus — bringing a sense of vitality, innovation, and hope into the otherwise restrained palette.
Color pairs
Color pairings help ensure visual clarity, accessibility, and brand consistency across various applications. This brand palette includes the following key colors: Core Black, Neutral White, Signal Green, and Structural Grey. Each of these colors plays a specific role in maintaining contrast and enhancing the readability of content in both digital and printed formats.

This brand palette includes the following key colors: Core Black, Neutral White, Signal Green, and Structural Grey. Each of these colors plays a specific role in maintaining contrast and enhancing the readability of content in both digital and printed formats.
For optimal legibility, pair Core Black with Neutral White, or use Structural Grey as a background for Neutral White — both combinations offer strong, reliable contrast. Signal Green should be used cautiously: it is rarely applied as a background color, but when it is, Core Black is the preferred overlay. In select cases, Neutral White may also be used over Signal Green if contrast requirements are met. Additionally, Signal Green can function as an accent on dark backgrounds like Core Black, creating a dynamic but legible visual hierarchy.

How to USE
our color palette
Do:
Use the full Promise color palette — Core Black, Structural Grey, Signal Green, and Neutral White — according to their intended roles.
Prioritize Core Black as the main background color across most brand materials, both digital and print, to provide a solid, professional foundation.
Use Structural Grey to structure layouts, frame elements, and build quiet depth in interface components.
Apply Neutral White for areas requiring clarity and space — ideal for body backgrounds, text blocks, and interfaces where readability is essential.
Use Signal Green as a distinctive accent to highlight calls to action, active states, or key information — always with purpose and precision.
Maintain high contrast in all applications: pair Core Black with Neutral White for maximum legibility; overlay Core Black or Neutral White on Signal Green only when the contrast remains strong and accessible.
Don’t:
Use colors outside of the official palette or invent new tints or tones.
Make Signal Green a dominant color — it’s reserved for accents and should be used sparingly.
Overuse accent color in a way that disrupts the calm, confident feel of the brand.
Layer colors without considering legibility (e.g., light text on light background, or dark on dark).
Use Signal Green for body text, large background areas, or any element that should feel neutral or foundational.
Alter the intended role or emotional balance of the palette by misplacing the hierarchy between the core, support, and accent colors.
Graphic element
The primary and key graphic element of Promise’s brand identity is the digital wave, symbolizing the dynamic nature and strength of the company's services. Technically, it is composed of binary code, highlighting the company’s innovation and technological focus. The wave’s rounded shapes reflect an eco-friendly tone of voice and a sense of empathy. Its coloring features a gradient from green to light cyan, adding depth to the design and creating a distinct color accent.



Use the wave element thoughtfully in design layouts. It can effectively enhance the visual impact of a hero image or a key composition. Headlines and logos may be placed over it. To ensure good contrast, use dark elements on light backgrounds and light elements on dark backgrounds. Avoid overusing the wave — it should remain a clean and minimalistic feature.
How to USE our
graphic element
Do:
Use the digital wave to enhance key visuals such as hero images or main compositions.
Ensure sufficient contrast: apply light text on dark parts of the wave and dark text on light areas.
Keep the wave minimalistic and clean — let it support the layout without overwhelming it.
Don’t:
Don’t stretch, distort or recolor the wave beyond the original green–cyan gradient.
Don’t use the wave as a background pattern for every element — avoid visual overload.
Don’t add extra textures, shadows, or effects that compromise the wave’s clarity.
Don’t place text or logos where they become unreadable or blend into the wave.
Don’t use the wave in contexts that do not reflect Promise’s values or tone of voice.
Co-branding
When pairing the Promise wordmark with partner logos, ensure clear hierarchy and maintain balanced spacing to preserve clarity and visual impact. Logos should not appear too close to one another and must always have sufficient breathing room. Each logo must be displayed at an appropriate, proportionate size, use its officially approved color format, and remain visually consistent — without any distortion, stretching, or modification.
All co-branded materials must be formally approved by both Promise and the partner brand to guarantee alignment with visual standards and brand integrity.

Using the Co-branding:
What to Do and Avoid

DON'T add any colors to the co-branding lockup

DON'T use the wordmark as very different sizes

DON'T use low quality of picture

DON'T use the co-branding lockup over a busy image
