Logo
Rationale

YSD comes from the abbreviation of Yeung's Design Interactive Limited, which is our former company name and have renamed as YSD HK Limited since 26th Apr, 2019. We wanna bring our logo to life, a positive and nice impression, it can greet everyone anytime when you see YSD. Customer service is always important. The 5 senses are designed based on our Chinese traditional face analysis, firstly, eyes, the eyes are big and long which represent taking care of people and high awareness; secondly, ears, the ears with a huge hole to listen to clients' requirements and comments; thirdly, mouth, it is big and is smiling, nice personality; lastly, nose, the nose is straight and sharp, this represents the noble moral, proactive attitude.

Minimum
Clear Space

The minimum clear space defines the minimum amount of clear space around the corporate signature, which is essential to ensure maximum visibility and legibility. Hence, to preserve the visual integrity of the corporate identity, no text or graphic element should appear within this predefined area.

The minimum required clear space for the logo is defined by the measurement “x” as shown. This measurement is half to the width of the icon in the logo.

Color System

Our orange is iconic. Visible for blocks. It’s our most identifiable asset.Upon printing, please use Pantone color as the first priority to deliver better color effect. If you cannot use pantone for some reason, please use CMYK to print instead. Please pay attention to the printing process, as paper selection and web line elements may affect the final color accuracy. 

Another primary brand color is YSD grey. It is used to provide accessibility, simplicity, and consistency throughout all brand communications. It is strongly recommended to use this color for all the fonts on printing and online materials. In general, to keep the visual identity integrity, these colors are not allowed to be changed except for special occasions and events.
