Explorer organizations often are very successful at staying current with trends, encouraging individual initiative, and providing others with the opportunity to learn and grow.

  • Text should always be left-aligned

Gradients

Gradients are an essential part of creating the NEAR atmosphere. They should be used subtly and consistently.

Creating the Gradient

Step 1: Create an Ellipse

Create a narrow ellipse and rotate it. Choose two, and only two, colors from the accent palette above. When in doubt, refer to the recommended combinations below.

Step 2: Blur it

Depending on the size of the ellipse and the software you’re using, set the blur anywhere between 100-200 pixels.

Step 3: Set opacity to 25%

Set the opacity of your ellipse to 25%. In some cases, gradients can be used at 50% opacity. But the goal is to be subtle.

Using the Gradient

The gradients can be used in the midst of a layout

Column Divider

Use the gradient to define the edge of a content area. This can be used as a divider for columns or rows in a layout

Container Frame

Use the gradient to subtly define the edges of a content area.

Shape Reveal

Use the gradient as a backdrop to a shape where the shape knocks out the color of the gradient.

Gradients can bring a subtle aura of color into a layout. They can be brought in from the corners or edges. Be careful not to overuse them.

Single Corner

Double Corner

Single Edge

The not-so-fine print

Please do amazing things like…

  • Use the NEAR Logo and link to near.org
  • Use the logo to advertise that your project is built on NEAR
  • Use the logo in a blog post or news article about NEAR.
  • Use the logo properly with plenty of breathing room (margin).

Please don’t do things like…

  • Use the official NEAR Logo or Icon as your application, business, or personal icon/avatar
  • Create a modified version of the NEAR Logo
  • Integrate the NEAR Logo or Icon into your logo

Naming projects and products

When naming, please avoid any names that pretend to be NEAR or the NEAR token. Also, avoid representing that you’ve been actively endorsed by NEAR or anyone involved in the project (That is unless you have been endorsed).

No fluff, just what you need to know. No spam. Never shared. Opt out at any time.
