Name Usage

Consistent spelling and formatting of our name reinforces brand recognition.

The "c" is Always Lowercase

In all documents, titles, headings, and communications, our name is written as:

Color

centrexIT

Black

centrexIT

White

centrexIT

The lowercase "c" followed by capital "IT" is our distinctive wordmark. The green "IT" is preferred when color is available, but black or white versions are equally valid. Never capitalize the "C" in running text.

Email Address Format

name@centrexIT.com

Email domains should display as @centrexIT.com with lowercase "c" and uppercase "IT" when possible.

When Mixed Case Isn't Supported

Some systems (forms, databases, legacy software) don't support mixed case. In these cases, use:

CENTREXIT

✓ All Uppercase

centrexit

✓ All Lowercase

Never: CentrexIT, Centrexit, CentreXIT, or other mixed-case variations.

Correct Usage

  • "Contact centrexIT for support"
  • "centrexIT provides managed IT services"
  • "Email us at support@centrexIT.com"
  • "CENTREXIT" (when system requires caps)

Incorrect Usage

  • "CentrexIT" (capital C)
  • "Centrex IT" (space)
  • "CentreXIT" (random caps)
  • "Centrex-IT" (hyphen)
