Our typefaces are chosen for readability, professionalism, and accessibility across digital and print applications.

Headings — Roboto Slab

This is Roboto Slab in action.

Body Text — PT Sans

Imagery & Photography

Photography should tell a story of innovation, sustainability, and community impact. Imagery is one of the most powerful tools in our visual identity.

Technology in Action

Show refurbished technology in use — emphasizing quality, usability, and real-world context.

People & Community

Capture engaging moments with students, volunteers, and community members benefiting from our programs.

Light & Tone

Use bright, natural lighting that reflects optimism and forward-thinking. Avoid dark, heavy, or overly staged compositions.

Backgrounds

Use clean, minimalistic backgrounds to keep focus on the subject. Avoid clutter or visually competing elements.

The AZ StRUT logo is our most recognizable brand asset. Treat it with care and consistency across every application.

Clear Space & Sizing

  • Maintain clear space around the logo equal to the height of the largest letter in the wordmark.

  • Minimum clear space of 50 pixels on all sides for digital applications.

  • The circuit lines are integral to the logo — never crop or overlap them.
