Company Name

Knowing when and how to use our company name is important for maintaining a consistent brand identity across teams, channels, and communities.

Best practices

  • In text, our company name appears in a regular sentence case: Quantum Workplace.
  • Always use the full company name, even on second reference.
  • In non-Quantum Workplace materials that reference our company or products, use these symbols (® or ™) when identifying our trademarks in print.
  • Our name and logo are equally important when it comes to expressing our brand. Check out the QW logo guidelines.

Layout + Sizing

The Quantum Workplace logo has two versions, horizontal and stacked, and the horizontal version is our primary logo. The stacked version is reserved for swag or when working with limited space. Minimum sizes of each logo are listed below.

Logo Mark: Because the mark doesn’t have our name in it, it should be used sparingly. Examples of this are on apparel, internal communications, or swag.

Spacing

Just like people, logos need to breathe. 

Using the height of "Quantum" around all sizes of the logo gives it visual space it needs. The first example below shows this minimum clearance process. 

The downloadable logo files are built with the minimum clearance space mentioned above, however we recommend adding more white space around the logo when possible. See below examples for inspiration.

Colors

Our primary logo colors are QW Orange and QW Dark Blue. When legibility is concerned, solid black or solid white can be used. The solid QW Orange is reserved for swag, signage, or other special use cases. 

If you are working on a project and are considering a color combination not listed above, for example apparel or signage, contact the brand team for permission.

Boilerplate

A boilerplate is a short summary of what our company does. The boilerplate rarely changes or is adapted for various formats. We use our boilerplate for “official” company descriptions on press releases, reports, partner profiles, agreements, and sales contracts.
