Brand Imagery
- Meditative Person in Nature - The image should depict a person with a calm and focused expression, standing or sitting in a peaceful outdoor setting, possibly a park or garden with lush green foliage and a clear sky in the background. The person is engaged in a meditative or reflective activity, with relaxed posture and closed or softly gazing eyes. They are dressed in comfortable, modest clothing suitable for outdoor relaxation, and their hands may be resting gently on their lap or in a meditative gesture. The lighting in the image is natural, bright but soft, indicating daytime, possibly late morning or early afternoon. The overall tone of the picture conveys tranquility, mindfulness, and connection with nature.
- Person with Obscured Face - The picture should feature a person in a close-up shot with the face obscured by a large, vertically-oriented, blurred rectangle that covers all facial features. The visible parts include the person’s short, dark hair, neck, and part of the ears. The individual is dressed in a dark-colored jacket that has shoulder epaulets with metallic buttons, indicative of a uniform or formal attire. The background should be a solid or slightly textured blue wall, with a metallic or gray vertical pole or bar on the left side of the image, and possibly some indistinct elements or fixtures behind the person that suggest an indoor setting. The lighting appears to be soft, with highlights on the clothing and hair, and no harsh shadows. Overall, the scene is straightforward, focusing on the person dressed in a uniform, the face deliberately obscured, set against a plain blue background.
- Indoor Portrait with Reflection - The image should depict a person with curly hair wearing a dark long-sleeved shirt, standing near a window or glass surface that reflects their profile and shadow. The person’s face is obscured or blurred, and the background should include a blurred view of a cityscape with multiple windows on buildings outside. The scene is indoors with natural light coming through the window, casting a shadow of the person on the reflective surface behind them. The person’s posture suggests they are looking outside or engaged in thought, with one arm resting on a railing or balcony near the window.
- Portrait with Hair Accessory - The image depicts a person with long, dark, wavy hair, parted in the middle. They are dressed in a green garment, which is only partially visible. The person is wearing a large, ornate hair accessory on the left side, likely gold or gold-colored, with intricate detailing, possibly floral or abstract in design. The background is a plain, neutral beige or tan wall, providing a simple backdrop. The face and other identifying features are obscured by a large, pixelated, rectangular black overlay covering the facial area, rendering facial details indistinguishable.
Color Palette
- La couleur dominante de la marque corporate est le rouge du logotype. Elle est accompagnée de couleurs complémentaires (gris, blanc, et bleu nuit).
- Les autres couleurs de contrepoint sont liées aux images utilisées et à leur tonalité. (Voir page 19)
- Définition des couleurs secondaires
- Le filtre «négtatif» agit comme un révélateur et libère des couleurs selon les valeurs de teinte choisies par le graphiste. Il est également possible de sélectionner des couleurs dominantes dans l’image pour les utiliser comme couleurs secondaires.

Layout And Composition
- Le logo peut être positionné librement dans les documents en respectant la zone de protection, qui correspond à deux fois la largeur du «L».
- Épaisseur Comprise entre 1/10 et 1/15 de la hauteur de l’image encadrée.
- Veiller à utiliser une hauteur suffisante afin que le cadre ne soit pas plus présent que le visuel qu’il accompagne.
- Le cadre décalé est un élément clé des compositions visuelles de Believe.
- Le décrochage peut évoluer sur toute la longueur inférieure du cadre tant qu’il laisse apparaître la découpe.
- Le cadre n’est pas immuable. Mais il est nécessaire de respecter certaines règles de construction afin de conserver une unité de représentation.
- La structure des newsletters est minimaliste et modulable, pour offrir un espace d’expression clair et créatif. L’entrée par le cadre décalé, associé aux aplats et aux titres, marquent une appropriation forte à la marque.
- Dans un contexte animé, il est important que la marque introduise le cadre et pas inversement. La vidéo combine les ingrédients de la marque. le cadre, les jeux typos, les filtres, les visuels.
- Le format carré a été utilisé pour faciliter la lisibilité globale et la compréhension. Le format 16/9 est tout à fait envisageable tant que le cadre, une fois dessiné, reste lisible et intact.
