Logo Variants
The COVALIDA logo comes in four production variants. They are one family — same Core-Shield, same Montserrat wordmark, same teal — tuned for different shapes and contexts. Pick the variant that fits the space, then set it on the right background (positive on light and mint, dark variant on dark).
Horizontal — primary
The default lockup: symbol on the left, COVALIDA wordmark on the right. Use it almost everywhere — website headers, document footers, presentation title bars, email signatures, social banners, partner co-branding.

Vertical — stacked
Symbol centered above the wordmark. Reach for it when the layout is square or narrow and the horizontal lockup would shrink too far — a centered cover slide, a social profile card, a sidebar, a portrait-format sponsor wall.

Symbol — gradient
The Core-Shield on its own, with the full teal gradient. Use it wherever the name is already established or space is tight and square: app icon, social avatar, favicon, watermark, loading states, a large decorative element behind a headline.
The gradient symbol holds up on light and mint and on quiet dark surfaces. Give it the same clear space as the full logo. File: covalida-icon.svg
Flat mono — single color
A one-color version of the symbol in Deep Teal #008080, with no gradient. Use it where a gradient cannot be reproduced or would break down: single-color printing constraints in third-party tools, engraving, embossing, stitched or etched contexts, and very small favicons where gradient banding would muddy the shape.
The flat mono mark may also be rendered in solid white on a dark brand color, or in Deep Slate Gray where a more neutral treatment is needed — but never in an off-brand color. File: covalida-icon-flat.svg
Digital-first, always
COVALIDA is a 100% digital brand. "Engraving" or "single-color" contexts refer to real production constraints you may meet in partner tooling — not to a COVALIDA print program. There is no stationery, letterhead or physical merch to design for.
Decision guide
Work top to bottom — the first row that matches your context wins.
| Context | Use this variant | File |
|---|---|---|
| Default — headers, footers, docs, slides, email | Horizontal | covalida-logo-horizontal(.svg / -dark.svg) |
| Square or narrow space that still needs the name | Vertical | covalida-logo-vertical(.svg / -dark.svg) |
| App icon, avatar, favicon, watermark | Symbol — gradient | covalida-icon.svg |
| Gradient can't render — engraving, tiny favicon, single-color tool | Flat mono | covalida-icon-flat.svg |
| Dark background (any variant) | Switch to the matching dark / white version | …-dark.svg |
Choosing background and version
- Light or Light Mint background → positive logo (dark slate wordmark, gradient symbol).
- Dark background → dark variant (white wordmark, gradient symbol), or the flat mono symbol in white.
- Busy or low-contrast background → don't. Move the logo onto a calm panel first (see Misuse).
