Logo versions


All of Nelly's logo's. May seem like many, but all serve a purpose, so please get to know when to use which.

nj_logo_sand_full

Main version


Used the most.

Can be used in blue also.

Must have enough contrast for legibility.

nj_logo_sand

Outline version


We use this logo in places we need to look a bit more serious. For example - formal presentations and LinkedIn posts. Think of it as the "corporate" logo while the main is the "fun" one.

nj_logo_smallscale_both

Small scale


Use this one when there is not enough room to showcase the whole logo - places like Youtube thumbnails, smaller size ads, favicons and so on.

nj_logo_books
nj_logo_books_small

Wordmarks


These versions of the logo are used on book covers. For more visual guidelines considering book covers please visit this link.

nj_logo_character

Character


This lockup can be used when showcasing Nelly's character combined with the main logo.

Logo colors


Nelly's logo is used mostly in two colors - blue and sand. You can also use black or white if needed.

Do's & Dont's


Quite simple but very important!

Apply to all logo versions.

nj_color_2v nj_color_4x

Do's & Dont's


Logo letters should always be one-colored. If the background is multi-colored the priority is for the main colors.

nj_logo_cutout_bg

Small applications like thumbnails, smaller size ads and favicons use the small scale version.

nj_logo_version_x

After placing the logo somewhere to your liking, make sure it sits neatly on a clear background.

Mikado

We use this typeface for Nelly's communication. Its rich family can serve many purposes. Scroll down and you will find various ways to play with type and experiment with various compositions.

Do's & Avoids


Type treatment is especially important! Use these examples to make sure typography is on point.

nj_type_-17 nj_type_-18

^

- When using different text sizes for hierarchy, they should contrast visually and not appear similar in size.

^

- Try not to italicize full sentences.

- The arc of curved text on top should be facing downwards! Curved on the bottom can be used in both directions.

^

- Contrast can be achieved through style difference or color, but using both is risky.

- Important headlines should be playful, incorporate colors!

Some important type treatment

 & where it derives from.


type_curve

Also!


Seperate your headlines using contrast and sizes. Use colors if you want even more contrast and hierachy.

type_hierarchy2

Customising type!

Some situations will need expressive type,

do experiment. An example to get you started.

The main graphic element,

let's see how it's made.

graphic_how_2

Okay, and what can

we do with it?

icon_interactive_2
icon_interactive_1
icon_interactive_3

We can

create backgrounds

We can

put photos in it

We can

highlight products

graphic_backgrounds_1 graphic_backgrounds
graphic_photos_1 graphic_photos
graphic_products_1 graphic_products

Some ground rules.

icon_v2

Just the right size.

graphic_rules_1a
icon_x2

Too big. Hard to identify the element.

graphic_rules_1b
icon_x2

Waaay too small. 

graphic_rules_1c
icon_v2

Showing just the right part.

graphic_rules_2a
icon_x2

Showing the wrong part of the element.

graphic_rules_2b
icon_x2

Also, we are not interested in this.

graphic_rules_2c
icon_v2

Using two graphic elements is encouraged. Just find the right balance.

graphic_rules_3a
icon_question

We are on shaky ground here. Please proceed with caution. If you do, use this type of composition rarely.

graphic_rules_3b
icon_x2

We encourage creativity, but this type of graphic language no longer belongs to Nelly Jelly's world.

graphic_rules_3c

We also have a corporate version of this element.

We use this graphic element in places we need to look a bit more serious, mostly in LinkedIn posts. Think of it as the "corporate" element while the main is the "fun" one.


This type of graphic element is usually combined with outline version of the logo.

graphic_corporate_1

We combine the main element with 

stickers & icons

graphic_stickers

1


Starting with one of our main colors and the main graphic element.

graphic_stickers_1a

2


Adding a product or photo in it. Still missing something...

graphic_stickers_1b

3


Perfect. They should of course higlight an important communication detail.

graphic_stickers_1c

Creating your own stickers & icons


If you ever need a specific one - draw your own! But make sure you add this distinctive detail to it.

graphic_stickers_how

Stills from the show


Highly recommended to use still images taken from Nelly's show to fill layouts with imagery. These images tell the story and create Nelly's world, use them!

social_stills_2

Stills with the graphic element


Cropping still images presents some challenges. We should try to hide small details from the image which touch the edges of our graphic element. Sounds confusing so the example shown explains it.

icon_interactive_2

Nelly!


Our main hero is not static!

She's joyful, fun and should be seen as such.

Use these various expressions and poses so Nelly

doesn't look the same everywhere.

Social media

Profile pictures


Recommended for all social media pages. Remember that LinkedIn should be treated as a more serious platform and use the outline logo version.


Do use Nelly's character in different suits / situations as the profile pictures occasionally!

Instagram

!

Apply to social media platforms which use the square format.

Instagram grid


Every once in a while posts dominated in our main colors should appear as they remind and build our brand presence.

ig_grid

Social media

Instagram stories


Stories are a useful way to tell scenarios or stories (pun intended) as they offer the flow of time.


Size: 1920 x 1080 px 

ig_stories_2b

Short sequence of three stories, not animated. Start with the logo announcing something, then we show what we announced and finish with a reminder to visit our website.

ig_stories_1

A story broken down into key frames (animated). Same as before, although we now due to magic of animation we can show off more products.

Do use all of colors available!

Do use all of available graphic element variations!

Do use stickers and icons to bring more life!

Do have fun!

Facebook covers crop your design depending on what you are viewing it from - mobile or desktop. All elements should be focused more towards the center of the layout to avoid cropping out details.

LinkedIn posts


Remember the place we need to look more serious? LinkedIn is one of them. Pay attention how everything is more static and boring. 

li_post

LinkedIn covers use the corporate version of our graphic element. Everything is more in grid and static.

Hover to see how different we can communicate (LinkedIn vs Youtube). Always take this into account - there are situations where it's ok to look boring and static!

Email signature


For the email signature let's keep it easy and simple. Text set in our main blue and black, ARIAL typeface, company details in smaller size.


Ads should be small, containing only the absolute most relevant information.

Package design &

products

In this chapter you will find various package design examples

for inspiration and some rules to follow so the end result

is one to be proud of!

In the majority of cases we use one of these three composition layouts:

The character logo based;

Logo and character equally based;

Character based.

nj_layout_bases_2

We also invented these three categories to help you design,

give feedback and simply get to know how the brand works.

Brand


Mainly distinguished by the main brand colors.

Off-brand


Where we use everything brand-related except find our own colors.

Limited


Products with limited shelf time, which means we can have a bit more fun with the design.

Graphic elements can interact with the packaging itself also, as the sticker shown here.

nj_desserts_01

Have Nelly showcase the product, we need to know what is inside the packaging!

nj_desserts_02
nj_desserts_03

Only the logo and white glaze - but you know you are in for a good treat when you open this box.

Don't be afraid to have the character cropped and shown up close if of course the situation asks for it.
