Six basic elements provide a unique „look and feel“ across all A1 communication. It is important that each of these elements is consistently used.
1. The A1 Logo family
Our distinctive logo fulfills the needs for multiple applications. The logo system consisting of a corporate logo, product/service related logos and local solutions showing local flavor.
2. Colors
We use Hot Red as our main brand color, a palette of greys for differentiation purposes and Cool Blue as a tertiary accent colour.
3. Typography
Our typefaces act as a kind of handwriting that reveals a great deal about the character of our company. That is why we have developed our own corporate typefaces: A1 Serif and A1 Sans.
4. Image Style
Photography is a clear expression of our brand’s values. It is authentic, natural and lively.

Our design principles help us to create memorable experiences across all touchpoints – it is what people talk about.
