Creative framework
We empower innovators to
visually create, build and
automate to their true potential.
Dominos
Our logo is the window into our world,
where it all begins. The dominos reflect
the power and momentum our
customers feel when using Make.
Impact
Every impact begins with a first move.
That first impact can cause incremental
changes that make a big difference.
Momentum
Change compounds.
Power
Whether we are talking to solopreneurs,
start-ups, scale-ups or enterprises,
our product will power our customers
to achieve their goals.
Play
With Make’s highly visual platform,
work can feel like play.
Product
Everything we do is in service of helping our
customers discover the difference our
product can make to their work and life.

Impact domino
When our dominos make contact, it signifies
a connection and the transfer of power.
Momentum domino
We have two graphic assets for our momentum
dominos. One asset is six dominos in length,
the other eight.
Background
Make is continuously active in the background, and
Make a difference
occasionally, we might want to convey that narrative. We can
achieve this by featuring dominos in the background of our
communications to emphasise the concept of motion.
To effectively communicate this idea, the close-up crop
should display at least three points of impact.
Gradients
We use gradients
in four ways

Impact crops
When cropping the impact domino, refer to these four overarching
principles for best practice:
1. Rule of thirds
Look for natural horizontal and vertical positioning in your layouts
2. Clearspace
Always retain the top right clearspace to ensure the domino will
never dominate. This will naturally retain a space for our logo,
lozenge or button.
3. Edge
Never crop the vertical domino e.g. by moving the asset off the X
canvas edge and narrowing the width. Only crop from bottom-up.
4. Background
Only use the impact domino on these coloured backgrounds:
Momentum dominos x6
For the purpose of telling stories about when
momentum is built with incremental gains, and
when customers can begin to feel powerful and
see a new direction and pace of growth.

If we want to advertise in print or on digital ads,
we must assume that 90% of eyeballs are new.

If a logo is a window into a world, an event is a world
of adventure. Events are a great opportunity to show
off and have fun, while making long-lasting impact
on new or existing customers.
