Capital flow lines
The Capital flow lines are a core brand device used to express energy, movement and the mobilisation of investment capital. They should be applied thoughtfully and with intention, acting as a subtle atmospheric layer or directional accent rather than a dominant visual feature.
Placement and composition
The Capital flow lines should always be positioned toward the bottom of the layout, acting as a grounding element that anchors the composition. Their low placement creates intentional asymmetry and visual tension, helping to introduce energy and forward momentum without distracting from primary messaging. The lines should not be centred or used in the top half of layouts, and should maintain a consistent visual relationship to the lower margin across applications. Where necessary, spacing may be adjusted to preserve balance and legibility, but the overall principle of bottom-weighted placement must be retained.
Use horizontal orientations only
Do not place behind text or dense content
Allow adequate margin / breathing space above and below
Use to guide, not obstruct, reading direction
Recommended usage
Use to introduce a sense of momentum or progression within layouts.
Most appropriate on:
cover pages
section openers
digital headers
presentation title slides
May be used statically or with gentle motion in digital environments Lines should retain their original curvature and rhythm (no distortion).
Colour and styling
Use the approved multi-colour set only and avoid heavy contrast or visual noise in busy layouts.
Do not:
recolour outside of the brand palette
adjust opacity
use as a decorative fill pattern
crop in ways that break the flow
apply drop-shadows, gradients or effects
scale disproportionately or warp the curves
Usage examples
Emblem
The Emblem is derived from the core shape within the logo and functions as a flexible brand asset. It may be used to introduce visual interest, create focal points within layouts, or support hierarchy across communications.
Usage examples
The emblem may be used as a solid graphic device, as a container for our brand strapline, or as a photographic mask to create distinctive, brand-led compositions.
Strapline lockup
The Strapline lock-up is a typographic device that reinforces DGG’s core purpose message. It is designed as a fixed composition, with defined typography, alignment and hierarchy to ensure consistency wherever it appears.
Its role is to amplify the brand narrative, complementing (but not replacing) the logo or primary headline.
Usage notes
The Strapline lock-up is a controlled brand device and should be used selectively to reinforce the DGG purpose message. It is intended for use on key communications such as cover pages, section openers, presentation title slides and brand-led materials where the strategic positioning needs to be emphasised.
Recommended usage
Use on key brand and corporate communications such as:
cover pages
section openers
presentation title slides
thought-leadership and positioning materials
Apply as a supporting brand expression, not a primary title
May be used alongside the logo where hierarchy allows
Scale may be adjusted to suit layout, provided legibility is retained
Placement and composition
Maintain sufficient clear space around the lock-up
Avoid placing over complex imagery or busy textures
Ensure it does not compete with headlines, data or key messaging
The wording, alignment and typographic structure must remain unchanged
Colour and styling
Use approved colour variants only (primary or monochrome)
Do not:
apply gradients, outlines, shadows or effects
use decoratively or as a repeated graphic motif
substitute it for messaging, headlines or campaign copy
distort, stretch or alter the composition
create new variants or alternative strapline wording
recreate, re-type or modify the typography
