Choosing a Logo for the Background

  • White or light backgrounds: Color or Black logo.
  • Dark neutral backgrounds: Color on Dark or White logo.
  • Brand colors (green, blue, red, orange): White logo only.
  • Never use a full-color logo on a colored background. The logo colors compete with the background, reducing legibility and brand impact.

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.

When you set the name in type with a green "IT" on white, use Accessible Green #1a7a17. centrexIT Green #3dae2b is for the logo artwork. See Color Palette.

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)

Color Palette

Four brand colors, one for each service line, plus neutrals. Click any swatch to copy its hex code. Contrast ratios are WCAG 2.1, measured against white unless stated.

Brand color · manageIT

centrexIT Green

#3dae2b

RGB 61, 174, 43 · Pantone 361 C

Use for: The logo and marks, large color fills, print, and browser theme color.

On white: 2.88:1. Fails WCAG AA for text at any size.

Accessible variant of centrexIT Green

Accessible Green

The on-screen version of centrexIT Green for text and buttons on white. It is not a separate brand color, and it has no print specification.

#1a7a17

Text, links, buttons

On white: 5.47:1

#156812

Hover state

On white: 6.95:1

centrexIT Green #3dae2b

Use #3dae2b wherever green is the artwork: the logo and marks, large color fills, print, and browser theme color.

Accessible Green #1a7a17

Use #1a7a17 wherever green must be read or clicked on white: text, links, and button fills, with #156812 on hover.

Why There Are Two Greens

centrexIT Green on white measures 2.88:1, below the WCAG 2.1 AA minimum for body text (4.5:1) and for large text (3:1), so it cannot carry words on a white page. Accessible Green measures 5.47:1 on white, and white text on it measures the same, so it passes for text and buttons.

On dark backgrounds the text rule flips. For green text on #1a1a1a, use #3dae2b: it passes at 6.04:1. #1a7a17 fails there at 3.18:1.

Green text on #1a1a1a uses #3dae2b (6.04:1).

Read the service overview for details.

Get Started
Do: Accessible Green for a link and a button on white.
Incorrect: white emblem on an Accessible Green fill
Don't: Accessible Green for the logo or a large brand fill.
Body text set in centrexIT Green is hard to read on white.
Don't: centrexIT Green for text on white. At 2.88:1 it fails WCAG AA.

Neutral Palette

Accessibility

All text must meet the WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratio: 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text. Of the brand colors, only Secondary Blue and Alert Red pass for text on white. For green text on white use Accessible Green. Always test color combinations for sufficient contrast.

White Outline Icons for Dark Backgrounds
