Safety area and minimum size

Black POLA logo on a beige background with its clear space. The clear space around the logo is indicated by a dashed outline. The width of the clear space is marked with the letter “x”. The x dimension corresponds to the height of the letter “O” in the logo.
The safety area must be at least the width of the letter 'L' in the logo on all sides. No elements that disturb the logo may be placed within the safety area.
Minimum size recommendation for the black POLA logo: 8 mm or 50 pixels. The logo is shown in black on a light beige background.
The minimum width of the logo without the slogan is 8 mm for print and 50 px for digital use.

The logo can be used on colored backgrounds defined in Pola’s color palette, as well as over photos and video. As a rule, the white version of the logo is always used over photos or video. In these cases, ensure the logo is legible by darkening the image if necessary. The logo can also be used with the customer promise written underneath.

Examples of correct logo usage are provided in the last section titled Examples of what to do.

Colors

Pola’s color palette consists of five darker and five lighter compatible shades, plus black and white. The colors can be used freely for various needs and purposes, such as distinguishing size markings on packaging, as background paper colors in studio shoots, or to enliven the look in marketing materials. Different tints of the colors can also be used as needed.

In advertising materials and studio images, the palette shades can be used according to the season (e.g., lighter pastels for spring, darker shades for autumn), but colors can also be chosen from outside the color chart if trends or the garment and style in the image require it.

Packaging

Pola’s packaging and labels are Scandinavian minimalist and airy in style – they give space to the products’ various shades, materials, and prints.


White plays a major role as a background color; black is used in the logo and texts. Different sizes are distinguished by utilizing different shades from Pola’s color palette.
The font used on packaging is the legible Gravita (Hum) in various weights.
