Our logo
The Bread+Butter logo and branded imagery treatment both showcase a three-dimensional style which highlights the two Bs of our initials. Whilst the viewer may not at first perceive the second ‘B’, the effect is to create a moment of realisation and then appreciation. The elements of depth then speak to our customer insights and the way we are able to bring the customer to life for our clients.
The rotational version of the B, used sparingly, provides another brand element relating to our name: the so-called ‘loaf’, with the high points of the ‘B’ reflecting a risen loaf of bread rendered in a figurative three-dimensional form.
Overall, the impression is to invite the audience to look deeper, feel more connected to the B+B brand, and better understand the customer intimacy we offer to clients.
Logo Variants
The primary logo has four variants:
- Landscape
- Stacked
- Reversed
- Mono
Preference for use is as per numbering.
1. Colour
3. Reversed
2. Stacked
4. Mono
Clearspace
This area shown (as a visual ratio – based on the relative size of the larger negative space ‘loaf’ in vertical orientation) should be kept clear in all usages of the logo. Nothing may enter inside the clearspace area aside from the logo. Clearspace respects the ‘B’ created using negative space as shown. This allows the icon to be unobstructed and presented clearly amongst any other design elements.
Logo Don’ts
Do not use the logo or icon to replace words or letters in text.
Do not lock up text with the logo or icon.
Do not flatten the logo!
Do not squish the logo!
Do not shear the logo!
Do not use pixelated logos!
Do not cramp the logo!

(use the reversed version instead)

Typography
Our corporate typeface is Montserrat for all print materials and web elements, and is used in its various weights as shown.
Headings generally use Semi Bold, except for headlines.
When Montserrat is not available, Arial can be used for documents created in-house – as a fallback only.
Headings should use a ratio of 1:1.1 for size: leading.
Body copy should use a ratio of 1:1.6 for size: leading.

Photographic Style
Photography is carefully curated to represent customers in relevant contexts, with positive expressions. It is then often treated with cropping masks aligned to our ‘B’ brand motif, or overlaid with brand elements, to distinguish it from typical stock photography. Where required, colour grading is used to align with the warmth of the B+B palette.
Image Treatment
There are three main image treatments that can be used.
Iconography
Icon should be clear and simple, using a modest line weight for outlines (i.e. infilled style) and output in the brand colours.
