# SLO Dryer Vent Cleaning

Concept identity. Edition: September 22, 2026.

## Idea
One clear path.

The airflow ribbon: An open return path makes airflow visible. Preserve open ends and generous gaps. Use the ribbon to explain a route, not to certify a cleaned system.

## Logo
Use the horizontal lockup when space allows, the stacked lockup on square panels and the symbol at small sizes. Keep at least one quarter of the symbol width clear on every side. Minimum symbol size: 24 px; icon exception: 16 px. Minimum horizontal lockup: 240 px. Never stretch, outline, bevel, rotate or add shadows. Use white reversed art on the brand ink background. Primary logo masters contain outlined lettering and need no fonts to display. Separate -editable.svg variants retain live text. Install the listed system font or substitute and check line fit before creating revised production outlines. No proprietary font binaries are included.

## Palette
Paper: #F4F7F4 / RGB 244, 247, 244
Ink: #172934 / RGB 23, 41, 52
Action: #8BCFE0 / RGB 139, 207, 224
Supporting: #FF9A6B / RGB 255, 154, 107

Ink on paper contrast: 13.87:1. Action lettering #172934 on action: 8.62:1. Supporting colors are decorative; use the tested ink/paper pair for body copy. Do not treat RGB or guessed CMYK values as a press standard. Ask the printer for an ICC-profile conversion and a proof.

## Type
Display: Arial Rounded MT Bold, Arial, sans-serif. Body: Arial, sans-serif. These are system-font stacks, not bundled or licensed font files. Use sentence case for readable text and reserve capitals for short utility labels. Body copy: 16 px or greater on web, 10 pt or greater in print. Comfortable line spacing: 1.5 to 1.7.

## Layout
Connected path chapters, soft route cards and numbered records. A single ribbon links the dryer to the outlet.

## Voice
Clear, neighborly and practical. Help people identify the next step without diagnosing from a website.
Example: Let’s clear the air. Start with the vent path.
Avoid: Safety guarantees, fire-risk predictions, invented inspection results, energy-saving promises.

## Photography
Real vent routes, access details and documented work. Prefer explanatory close-ups to generic hazard imagery.

## Motion
The path reveals once in 300ms. Record changes fade in 180ms. Never use urgency pulses or looping warning icons. Under reduced motion show the settled state without transform or path travel. Keep keyboard focus stable. No scroll hijacking, flashing or perpetual motion.

## Application specifications
- Social square: 1080 x 1080. Story: 1080 x 1920; keep important copy between y=220 and y=1700. Landscape: 1200 x 630. Export to sRGB PNG for upload.
- Business card: 85 x 55 mm trim, 3 mm bleed all sides (91 x 61 mm artboard). Keep type 5 mm inside the trim. The back has editable name, contact and service fields; replace with verified details before output.
- Letterhead: A4 210 x 297 mm. Artwork is vector; set page size explicitly when exporting PDF. Keep body content within the ruled area.
- Vehicle side/rear: scalable layout artwork, not a vehicle-specific cutline. Obtain the exact year/model/body template and installer measurements. Keep marks and contacts off seams, windows, handles, plates, reflectors and required vehicle markings. Have an installer check visibility and material before production.
- Symbols and SVGs are vector. The downloadable ZIP includes all listed source artwork, tokens, this guide and a manifest. No stock photography, client list, private records or third-party font files are included.

## Provenance and production status
Concept identity, website and campaign artwork. Existing business names and trademarks belong to their owners. Geometric symbols and layouts were authored by SLOgrowth. Lettering uses the system typefaces listed above; outlined logo files preserve their shapes. No trademark clearance, fabrication approval or measured commercial result is asserted. Replace application fields, confirm rights and approve a production proof before printing or applying to a vehicle.
