The primary signature.
The horizontal mark-and-logotype lockup is the default identifier across communication, digital interfaces and principal building identification.
One authoritative source.
The user-approved Figma selection, node 528:38, governs the artwork. Earlier explorations are obsolete. No alternate stacked, vertical, condensed or text-only arrangement is introduced by this guide.
LOCKED FIGMA SOURCE ↗Geometry approval does not imply approval of the newly proposed color treatments or production specifications. Dark-background previews show a proposed light treatment.
Recognize the parts.
Use the whole.
The mark and wordmark are distinct elements within one approved relationship. This diagram identifies them; it is not a construction recipe.
01 / ARCHITECTURAL MARK02 / CUSTOM LOGOTYPE
The mark
Three ascending horizontal forms give the signature its architectural cadence. Preserve the tier lengths, slopes, corners and negative spaces exactly.
The lettering
Solaris is custom artwork. Sheina and DM Sans support the identity; neither can recreate the logotype. Never type the brand name as a substitute logo.
The relationship
The source asset is 1222 × 138 units: approximately 8.855:1. These are export bounds, not dimensions for redrawing. Preserve all internal spacing.
Independent mark or logotype use
The supplied separate artworks remain source references. This application system defaults to the combined lockup. A standalone avatar, favicon or new arrangement needs its own approved application artwork; do not crop it out of the signature.
Space is part
of the signature.
Set H equal to the full height of the approved lockup. Reserve at least 1H of uninterrupted space on every side, measured from the artwork bounds. This is a proposed application rule.
Measure from the artwork.
Do not measure from the edges of an exported image that contains padding. In the supplied application SVG, the viewBox is tightly bounded. Keep headlines, partner marks, trim, folds, seams and interface controls outside the exclusion zone.
Use more when space permits.
1H is a floor, not a target for every layout. At principal entrances and on cover pages, allow approximately 2H or more. Never reduce the internal gap to make the logo fit.
For a lockup width WH = W × 138 ÷ 1222Example: W = 240 px → H ≈ 27.1 px → reserved area ≈ 294.2 × 81.3 px.
Small enough to belong.
Large enough to read.
These are proposed starting widths for the complete lockup, excluding clear space. They are not certified reproduction limits. Use the larger size whenever the substrate or viewing conditions demand it.
240 CSS px / preferred compact digital use180 CSS px / provisional screen floorBelow 180 px / exception requires specific reviewScreen specimens use actual CSS widths at 100% browser zoom. Device pixel density and browser scaling change physical appearance. Exporting at 2× does not make a smaller displayed logo more legible.
| Application | Starting width | Required check |
|---|---|---|
| Screen / horizontal signature | 180 px minimum proposal 240 px preferred | Inspect the A and R breaks, S terminals, counters and tier gaps on the target device. |
| Conventional print | 40 mm minimum proposal | Print at 100% on the actual stock; review fine detail and edge spread. |
| Emboss, deboss, embroidery, cutting | No universal minimum | Process-specific sample; enlarge the complete lockup if detail closes. |
| Building identification | Set by sightline | Full-size elevation and on-site day/night assessment with the fabricator. |
When the full signature does not fit
Change the layout, create more space or request an approved compact asset. Do not compress the lettering, remove letters or improvise a new symbol. The below-floor example above illustrates the review boundary, not a permitted small-size version.
A controlled set
of expressions.
The original source colors remain the approved master. The two single-color treatments below are proposed applications, derived from the same vector paths. Background colors never become part of the artwork.
Use on pearl or white; preserve source values.
Use a flat light fill, not a metallic effect.
Single-color artwork for restrained accents.
Do not make the mark and lettering different brand colors, apply gradients inside the logo or introduce gold. A satin-silver material is a finish proposal, not a new screen colorway. Do not substitute a process black, CMYK mix, spot ink or foil reference without a production proof.
Contrast without
compromise.
Choose a background that keeps every contour distinct. Check the entire signature, including the finest gaps; a readable mark alone is not enough.
Do not add outlines, drop shadows, glows or a tight box as a rescue treatment. A dedicated panel is acceptable only when it is an intentional layout element with full clear space. Review both light and dark image areas when imagery changes in a carousel.
Anchor the composition.
Leave room to breathe.
Use a deliberate alignment to the page or architectural grid. Do not distribute the signature freely as a decorative motif.

All your own.
EDITORIAL / SIGN-OFFRespect the physical edge.
Clear space is additional to supplier requirements for trim safety, binding, folds and fixing points. Use whichever margin is larger. Never allow the logo to bleed off the page.
Place once per composition.
A primary face or view normally needs one signature. On a multi-page document, use it at meaningful entry or closing points; running text can identify Solaris without repeating the logo on every page.
A signature,
not a sentence.
Descriptors, campaign lines and studio attribution are supporting information. They sit outside the logo and do not create a new lockup.
≥ 1H / EXTERNAL SPACE
PRIVATE RESIDENCES / CASPIAN COASTDescriptors
Typeset English descriptors in DM Sans. Keep them visibly secondary and at least 1H away. Do not tuck “Tower,” a location, a slogan or a legal designation into the approved internal gap. The example is a layout relationship, not an additional logo asset.
Maria Studio & partners
Maria Studio is the identity author, not part of the Solaris signature. Credit the studio in a separate masthead, colophon or footer. For a partner relationship, preserve each brand’s clear space and agree hierarchy before release; do not imply an endorsement.
Identity by
Separated attribution example only. Do not export this composition as a combined Solaris–Maria Studio logo.
What must
never change.
The examples below keep the source paths intact while showing incorrect application. The prohibited geometry changes are described rather than issuing distorted logo files.
THE ART OF PRESENCENever distort
No stretching, skewing, rotating or perspective-warping the master artwork.
Never reconstruct
No tracing, AI generation, retyping or replacing the custom letters with a font.
Never rearrange
No stacking, separating, changing the mark-to-type scale or adjusting internal spacing.
Never decorate
No strokes, shadows, gradients, bevels, textures inside the forms or enclosing badges.
Never crop
Keep all three tiers and the complete wordmark visible. Do not use partial letters as a device.
Never alter for manufacture
If a process cannot retain the details, enlarge the whole logo or choose another process. A modified master requires review.
Sharp at every
approved scale.
Use SVG for web interfaces and responsive layouts. Preserve the viewBox and intrinsic ratio. The logo must load as artwork rather than live text.
Web & responsive use
- Set width explicitly and height to auto; never force both into a conflicting ratio.
- Keep the full signature on mobile by simplifying navigation around it.
- Use a named colorway per background. Avoid unpredictable blend modes.
- Prevent layout shifts by retaining the intrinsic aspect ratio.
Accessibility & motion
- Use “Solaris” as the accessible name; a homepage link can be labeled “Solaris home.”
- A decorative duplicate should have empty alt text.
- Keep focus indicators outside the artwork and clearly visible.
- Reveal the whole signature with a restrained fade, if needed. Do not animate tiers or letters independently; respect reduced-motion settings.
Raster delivery
When SVG is unsupported, export a transparent PNG from the vector at the required output scale. A 240 CSS px placement may use a 480 px-wide image at 2×. Preserve clear space in the layout; label any padded export so its visible artwork width is not confused with the canvas width. JPEG is unsuitable for a transparent logo.
The same precision.
A different process.
Do not assume a good screen preview is a manufacturing approval. The vendor must demonstrate that the actual reproduction preserves the source geometry.
| Process | Artwork instruction | Approve before release |
|---|---|---|
| Offset / digital printing | Vector artwork. Confirm color conversion and output profile with the printer. | 100% size proof, stock color, edge sharpness, open counters and gaps. |
| Screen / pad printing | Single-color separation prepared by the vendor from the approved master. | Ink spread, adhesion, coverage and fine-detail retention. |
| Foil / emboss / deboss | Flat vector silhouette; no simulated bevel or texture in the artwork. | Die limitations, pressure, depth, registration and substrate response. No gold. |
| Embroidery / woven applications | Supply vectors for digitizing. Do not permit automatic simplification. | Physical stitch or weave sample. If fine gaps close, enlarge or use another method. |
| Cut or illuminated signage | Scale the full lockup uniformly on the architect’s elevation. | Fixings, letter returns, minimum sections, shadows, illumination and coastal durability. |
No universal foil code, Pantone match, CMYK recipe, stitch density, relief depth or signage dimension is approved by this chapter. Record the accepted supplier, substrate, process, size and proof date for every tested specification.
The right file.
A clean handoff.
Use the named application assets, retain the untouched source and keep production derivatives traceable. A screenshot or image-generator output is never a logo master.
