Welcome to the Arcteq graphic manual! Here you can find guidelines for communication, logo use, colors, typography, and other such occasions where brand issues need to be considered.
This section details how to communicate technical content, and how social media and recruitment announcements are written.
We are plainspoken professionals, so strip all unnecessary noise away and aim for clarity above all. However, the tone of communication should always be friendly and service-oriented.
Our communication should be customer-centric. Instead of simply listing our own capabilities, let’s focus on how you (as a customer) benefit from our solutions. Through our communication we demonstrate that your products, processes, and business evolve with the help of our expertise.
APPLICATION AREAS
Arcteq website, catalogs, presentations, product Advertising in print/web, newsletters
KEY WORDS
Trustworthy, Serious, Professional, Informative, Formal, and Confident.
Communication on social media can be a bit lighter and more personable. On social platforms, we talk as if to a friend — casually and with a cheerful tone. While overly eccentric humor may not align with the overall brand image, a touch of playfulness is welcome. We always maintain a professional and respectful demeanor, even when delivering a social media post with a twinkle in the eye.
KEY WORDS
Friendly but informative, Humorous, Conversational, Professional, and Proud of ourselves.
The logo guidelines define how to use our logo in different contexts, and what colors and shapes are allowed for the logo.

The primary logo is a typographically shaped “Arcteq” text in blue with the slogan “Part of Ensto Group”.

The logo should preferably be used in its colored version.
The logo should always be placed on a simple background; make sure that it stands out!
There are also black-and-white versions of the logo (negative): those can be used when the background color restricts the use of the color versions.
If the logo is displayed as a negative, all the elements of the logo are white or black.
The logo should always be used in its original form. Do not rescale the logo or alter the colors. Only use a background where logo stands out.
BLUE ON GREY: The use of the combination gray/blue is strictly restricted to physical products! This color combination must NOT be used on web pages, presentations, brochures, newsletters, or other similar locations.
To make sure that the logo is always clearly visible, please surround it with a sufficient safety area.
