Design Guidelines
Version 0.1 β, October 23rd, 2025
On this page you will find all the information related to the corporate design of the brand. The pillars of the visual style are the basic building blocks: logo, corporate colors, fonts and key visuals. You can be inspired by examples of the application of the visual style.
Logos
There are three logo layouts available in six different color variations. You can download them all at once by pressing the button below their samples in PDF, SVG, WebP and EPS data formats prepared for digital media in the sRGB color space and for professional printing in CMYK.
Pictogram
The C icon is the fastest visual shortcut Cascade Quantum uses. It is simple, playful, memorable and offers a lot of simplicity for future development. It directly invites various animations. We use it for social media icons, web favicon, etc.
Social Media Icon
The C icon is the is always used in full color for all screen aplications. A typical light background colors for an icon are white, light blue (CC Blue Light) or light yellow (CC Yellow Light). A typical dark background color for icons are dark blue (CC Dark Blue) or black.
These icon files were specifically prepared for use on social media. They are prepared on a transparent background in the size of 1080 × 1080 px. Within the area, the icons are placed so that after cropping into a circle, which is currently used for avatars on social media, the icon is optically in the middle of the circle. The icon is displayed here multiple times because each represents a different file format. The first two are bitmap formats PNG and the more modern WebP, the third is the vector format SVG.
Click on one of the icons above to see the specific file format. Once the file is open, you can save and use it. Just choose the right file format—SVG is usually the best choice because it’s the only vector format, but not all social media apps support it.
The background color is not part of the icon files—the files are transparent. It is not necessary to always use white background. The background can be adjusted within the Color Scales defined below as needed—however, sufficient visibility of all the dots that make up the C icon must always be maintained.

Color Scales
Each of the five primary colors has a precisely defined hue, but can be used in any lightness. The key to lightening basic colors is to reduce their opacity. The key to darkening colors is to add black.
The default light background colors are CC Blue Light and CC Yellow Light. Any of the basic corporate colors can be used in any opacity. You can also add any amount of black to any basic corporate color if darker color is needed.

There are several key visuals available that can be used for various purposes, such as a graphic backgrounds etc. Or they can serve as inspiration for creating other backgrounds.
Click on the visual to open it and then you can save the file in SVG file format and reuse it.
Design Samples
You can be inspired by examples of the application of the visual style: business cards, letterhead templates, presentation templates for MS PowerPoint and Google Docs.
Letterhead
The letterhead is prepared in digital form as a template for Microsoft Office and Google Docs.
Presentation
The presentation is prepared in digital form as a template for Microsoft Office and Google Docs. The images show just a few inspirational slides. You can find many more layouts to use in the pre-made templates.
Business Cards
Double-sided business cards are currently the only representative application of the brand from the physical world.
Design is Never Ending Process
Cool corporate design is not rigid—it evolves as needs arise. If you come across a need that is not covered here, please get in touch.
