BRAND
To maintain the integrity of the CDS Global brand identity, it is necessary to understand how to use the logo properly.
Logo Elements
A - Wordmark
The CDS Global name is presented in a custom sans-serif. The Wordmark must always be locked up with the Connection Symbol and Signature whenever possible. However, exceptions to this rule do apply and will be explained fully in the Usage & Variations section.
B - Monogram
The sticky interaction between a square and circle in our simple, iconic monogram serves as the basis of our graphic language, transforming into each other representing deep connections and lifelong bonds.
C - Signature
Our signature, A Hearst Company, allows us to build on the history and prestige of our parent company.
