Spacing
Clear space and minimum size.
Clear space
Keep a space the height of the lowercase a clear on every side of the logo. Nothing else goes in it: text, edges or other logos.
Minimum size
Wordmark: 72 px wide on screen, 20 mm in print. Mark: 16 px. Below that, use the mark instead of the wordmark.
Colour
Paper, ink and one orange.
A warm neutral palette with a single accent. Every colour has a dark-mode pair. In code, use the token names, not the hex values.

Tinted backgrounds
Orange is the full stop
Use it sparingly: the logo's full stop, small labels, highlights and focus rings. Never for long text.
Contrast
Ink on paper is 16.9:1. Orange on paper is 3.4:1, so keep orange text large or short. Ink on orange is 5.0:1.
Light and dark
The site follows the visitor's system setting. Use the dark logo files on dark backgrounds.

Usage
Do and don't.
Voice
Plain and direct.
We write the way we'd talk to a client across the table.
Say what we do
“We build booking systems”, not “we leverage innovative solutions”. Name the thing.
Short and direct
Short sentences. “We” is Jagassar, “you” is the reader. Talk to one person.
No hype, nothing made up
No buzzwords, and no numbers, quotes or claims we can’t back up.
House style
Canadian spelling (colour, centre). Sentence case for headings and buttons.
