AI Adoption Center Brand Guide

Public guidance for AIAC identity, voice, visual system, logo use, and independent-network-member language.

AIAC

AI Adoption Center

Practical, human-governed AI adoption.

Logo system

Core brand applications shipped in this pass

The live implementation uses the manually rebuilt AIAC logo files as the source of truth. Header and footer use the institutional lockup, and browser icons are generated directly from the approved SVG.

Primary SVG

Preferred digital source asset for on-site use, resizing, and icon generation.

Primary PNG

Raster fallback for contexts where SVG is not appropriate or not supported.

AIAC

AI Adoption Center

Practical, human-governed AI adoption.

Site lockup

Logo paired with the institutional name for header, footer, and public references.

App and browser icon

Current icon files are generated directly from the approved SVG artwork.

Identity

AI Adoption Center is a global network connecting independent providers and practitioners working on practical, human-governed AI adoption.

The organizing line is Adopt AI. Stay in charge. The canonical product term is Framework.

AIAC is not presented as a foundation, association, formally governed institution, certification body, personal project, or implementation firm.

Voice

The voice is practical, economically grounded, and clear about responsibility.

Use:

  • direct language about value, boundaries, monitoring, and ownership
  • positive governance language that helps organizations act with confidence
  • evidence boundaries for time-sensitive, event, and funding claims
  • "independent network member" for listed delivery organizations

Avoid:

  • hype, fear, or inevitability claims
  • a second product name competing with Framework
  • claims of endorsement, certification, agency, or shared control
  • claims of legal form or board governance that do not exist

Logo system

The orbit mark remains the primary symbol. Its geometry and blue arc are unchanged.

ElementMeaning
Circular orbitAn ecosystem of connected but independently operated participants
Blue arcStability, structure, and institutional clarity
Crimson arcThe human: agency and accountability within the AI ecosystem
Central letterformThe AIAC identity

The approved crimson is sample A, Japan-flag crimson #BC002D. Only the formerly warm-colored arc uses this treatment. Do not distort the mark, recolor the blue arc, add effects, or combine the mark with third-party logos.

Blue leads. Crimson is deliberately rare: one small focal device or marker per view. Warning and error semantics must not rely on crimson.

Typography

RoleTypeface
Display and headingsIBM Plex Sans
Body copySource Sans 3
Technical metadataIBM Plex Mono

Use strong hierarchy, moderate line lengths, sentence case, and readable long-form spacing.

Visual language

The site should feel like an institutional field guide: cool surfaces, strong dividers, stable typography, and restrained motion. The orbit provides the geometric reference. The human marker provides the single warm focal point.

Avoid robots, humanoid AI imagery, neon futurism, decorative dashboards, glass effects, and generic product-marketing treatments.

Network language

Organizations listed by AIAC are independently operated network members. They are responsible for their own work and client relationships.

Permitted descriptions include:

  • "Independent network member"
  • "Local network member in Canada"
  • "Global technical network member"

A listing does not imply endorsement, certification, agency, exclusivity, shared ownership, or that AIAC guarantees delivery. Do not create combined lockups or imply a contractual relationship that has not been documented.

Website application

  • Framework is the only product name.
  • The header and footer use the primary lockup.
  • Governance appears at every stage and use case.
  • Crimson marks human agency and accountability, not generic excitement.
  • Contact remains direct email; the site does not use an assessment funnel.
