Moon Society 2019 Branding

From Lunarpedia
Jump to: navigation, search

This is a branding standard that hearkens back to what we have used historically, while tying all colors to official Pantone Coated sRGB values and providing freely redistributable fonts for all typefaces.

The intended audience for this page is normal people and graphic artists who will be creating simple web pages, print ads, and other rendered art. If you are a CSS developer, you may find Moon Society 2019 Branding Font Stacks of interest. Do not use fonts from low in the stacks for "normal" branding work.

Typefaces

  • General purpose serif and possibly logo/title: Palatino/Palladio, with Tex Gyre Pagella as a FOSS and redistributable implementation. It hearkens back to 1990s ASI and Artemis Project branding.
  • Headings and Headlines: Spartan, with Spartan MB as a FOSS redistributable implementation. The League Spartan implementation has been used with MMM. This typeface hearkens back to Gizmo and should compliment it when we have a font.
  • MMM Headlines and decorative headlines: Gizmo. Will probably be only one font (Lunar Gizmo?), whose development is a pending action item. The proprietary original font appears to be impossible to legitimately acquire, unfortunately.
  • Body text and general purpose sans serif: Noto Sans, which hearkens to Verdana, which was used both on websites and in MMM.
  • Monospace: Inconsolata, which has two FOSS fonts and was used on our 2013-2018 website design (Coriolis).
