What is a Brand Identity?
Why Use These Guidelines

ThreatMetrix® needs to manage how its brand is represented across all visual media in various different situations. The corporate identity system in this document has been created to fulfill this purpose and the guidelines herein explain how to correctly depict and embody our brand ethos consistently across different applications and in various markets to maintain the integrity of ThreatMetrix.

We don’t want to come across all doom and gloom, but there is a right way and a wrong way to present our logo. Do not alter the wordmark in any manner. The logo may not be reproduced with effects like: beveled edges, outlines, 3-D effects, glowing edges, drop shadows, etc. The logo may not be skewed or stretched in any fashion. Do not place the logo over any background color other than the dark ThreatMetrix blue or any shade of grey less than 90%.

This full font family comes in a range of weights to suit a multitude of purposes. It was optimized for print, web, and mobile interfaces, and has excellent legibility characteristics in its letterforms.
Typefaces for Online When technology allows for it, Gotham should be used in any web applications.
