Layout Principle
The individual brand elements grow together in the layout principle. Logo, typo, colours, symbols and image world grow together to a unique appearance and differentiate the brand optically unmistakable from the others. The white space is a good friend: it ensures balance and lets the elements breathe.

From the area diagonal D, the value x is calculated via the multiplier 0.09, which is the basis for the grid of the layout principle.
