Brand book

The Lailio brand, in one place.

A living reference for everyone working in Lailio's name: logo, colours, typography, graphic language, tone of voice and web standards. It is based on the official style guide and extended with the rules this website is built on.

02 · Rules

Clear space and size

Clear space

Clear space

The logo is built on a unit X. The logo is 4X high and 10X wide. Always keep a clear space of at least X on every side: no text, images or other elements may enter it.

Minimum size

Minimum size

To keep the logo legible, never use it below the recommended size.

Horizontal
85 px · 30 mm
Vertical
57 px · 20 mm

Backgrounds

Use the standard logo on light backgrounds and the inverted version on dark and burgundy backgrounds. On photos, place the logo only on a calm, even area with enough contrast.

03 · Misuse

Never, ever use the logo like this

  • Never change the colours

    Never change the colours

    The logo always uses the official colours or the approved inverted and black and white versions.

  • Never deform

    Never deform

    Do not stretch, squeeze or skew the logo. Its proportions are fixed.

  • Never change the font

    Never change the font

    The letters are part of the mark. Never reset them in another typeface.

  • Never add effects

    Never add effects

    No shadows, glows, outlines or gradients.

  • Never rotate

    Never rotate

    The logo is always horizontal or in its approved vertical version, never at an angle.

  • Never use on busy backgrounds

    Never use on busy backgrounds

    Busy, patterned or low-contrast backgrounds make the logo illegible.

04 · Colours

The official palette

Lailio uses these six colours only. Burgundy and navy carry the brand; the blue scale supports it. Each swatch shows the logo version that is approved on that colour.

Tints and shades

Use lighter tints for backgrounds and highlights, darker shades for active states and text. Never use colours outside this scale.

05 · Typography

Two typefaces, clear roles

Poppins is the brand's voice in headings and advertising, often in capitals. Open Sans carries all body copy and stands in wherever Poppins is not available. Both fonts are self-hosted on the website, with no external requests.

06 · Graphic language

Triangles from the logo

The brand pattern is made of the same triangles as the logo. It adds movement and rhythm but never competes with the content.

  1. 01

    Palette colours only

    Triangles use the official colours only, never gradients.

  2. 02

    White gap

    There is always a thin white line between triangles.

  3. 03

    Flat

    No shadows, depth or transparency effects.

  4. 04

    At the edges, not the centre

    The pattern enters from a corner or an edge and leaves room for content and the logo.

07 · Web standards

How the brand lives on the website

These rules are built into the lailio.com code. They apply to every new page and component.

  1. 01

    Flat design

    No shadows, anywhere, ever. Depth comes from areas and lines, not shadows.

  2. 02

    Sharp corners

    No rounded corners: buttons, cards, images and forms are rectangles.

  3. 03

    Hairlines

    Blocks are separated by a 1 px #E2E8F0 line; cards sit in one frame without gaps.

  4. 04

    Black for text only

    Black is allowed for type only, never for lines or areas.

  5. 05

    Visible focus

    Keyboard focus is a 2 px burgundy outline, not a glow.

  6. 06

    No long dashes

    Use a colon or a comma in copy, never a long dash.

CSS variables

08 · Icons

Simple, without frames

The website uses Bootstrap Icons. Icons are line icons without background circles or frames, in burgundy or navy. Never recolour partner or third-party logos in brand colours.

09 · Tone of voice

How Lailio sounds

  1. 01

    Clear over clever

    Plain language and concrete outcomes. No buzzwords, no empty promises.

  2. 02

    Think globally, act locally

    Founded in Riga, working across Europe. We speak like an engineer who understands the client's business.

  3. 03

    Always on

    24/7 reliability is a promise, not a slogan. We back claims with numbers, SLAs and references.

  4. 04

    In every language

    Every text exists in all website languages. The base is Latvian or English, and translations read naturally.
