cloudgroup Brand Guide

Last updated March 2026

Logo System
The cloudgroup logo has three forms: the standalone cloud icon, the lockup (icon + wordmark), and the favicon. The lockup is the primary mark and should be used in most contexts.
Icon — light bg
Icon — dark bg
Icon — neutral bg
cloudgroup
Lockup — light background (primary use)
cloudgroup
Lockup — dark background
Wordmark: Always lowercase “cloudgroup” — never “Cloudgroup” or “CloudGroup”
Font: Outfit, weight 700, letter-spacing -0.3px
Gap: 1px between icon and wordmark, bottom-aligned (icon base = text baseline)
Icon alone: Use for favicons, app icons, and small UI contexts only. The lockup is preferred in all other cases.
Minimum size: Lockup should not appear smaller than 120px wide. Icon alone should not appear smaller than 16px.
Clear space: Maintain a minimum clear space equal to the icon height on all sides of the logo.

Color Palette
The cloudgroup palette is professional and restrained. Blue is the primary accent; the gradient is used only on the cloud icon. Backgrounds are always light.

Typography
Two typefaces. Outfit for headings, the logo, and display text. Inter for body copy and UI text. Both are available on Google Fonts and work well in Google Docs.

Google Docs note: Outfit is available in Google Fonts and works natively in Google Docs. Inter is not in Google Docs by default — use Arial as the body font substitute in Google Docs. It renders cleanly and is universally available.

Heading Hierarchy
All headings use Outfit with tight letter-spacing. Sizes are responsive via clamp() on larger headings. The hierarchy creates clear visual levels from page title down to subsection labels.
H1 · Page Title · Outfit 700, clamp(36px, 5vw, 56px), letter-spacing -1.5px

H2 · Section Title · Outfit 700, clamp(26px, 3vw, 36px), letter-spacing -0.8px

Line height: Headings use 1.1–1.15. Body text uses 1.6–1.65.
Responsive: H1 and H2 use clamp() for fluid sizing. Below 768px, H1 settles at 36px and H2 at 26px.

Buttons & CTAs
Buttons use Outfit for their labels. The primary button is dark navy with white text — not blue. The secondary button is outlined with a subtle border. Both use 10px border-radius.

Padding: Standard buttons use 12px 28px. Nav CTA uses 7px 18px.
Transition: All buttons use transition: all 0.2s for smooth state changes.
Important: Primary buttons are always dark navy, never blue. Blue is reserved for links and accent text.

Standard formatting for client-facing Google Docs. Keep it clean and professional — the brand speaks through restraint, not decoration.

Tip: Create a Google Docs template with these styles saved. Then use File → Make a copy for each new document. This is faster than generating .docx files and converting.
