01. An Introduction.
Consistency and simplicity are key when looking to apply the Minders Keepers brand mark. This brief guide will help in the general application of the Minders Keepers logo. Our brand aim’s to provide a reliable service for anybody who needs a house and pet sitter service.

Our companies values are to be safe, trustworthy, approachable and friendly.

Our logo:
Alternate logo styles:

Black and White Logo: This logo should only be used for print where colour is not possible (e.g; newspaper print).
Logo with a background: The logo can be used with a contrasting background (on websites for example). In particular when using a blue colour avoid making it’s likeness too close to the logo.
