The Explorer

Explorers are most fulfilled when they can seek out new approaches and perspectives. Naturally independent, authentic, and curious, they’re able to follow unique paths and motivate others to explore uncharted territory. They’re usually excited and challenged by the opportunity to blaze a new trail. Explorer organizations often are very successful at staying current with trends, encouraging individual initiative, and providing others with the opportunity to learn and grow.

Built on NEAR

‘Built on NEAR’ is both a badge of honor and a powerful marketing tool. Projects that wish to show their support for the NEAR community and promote their app, while also encouraging others to build on NEAR, may use the following badge on their website, app, or promotional materials.

For the sake of consistency, please use the provided assets and avoid making your own version. Also, refrain from adding shadows, low contrast colors, low resolution, stretching, or other badge manipulations or edits.

In the downloads, you will find both a primary (black) and reversed (white) version for use on light or dark backgrounds. Filetypes include .png, .svg, and .pdf

The badge is prepared with proper whitespace (margins) so you can easily place it onto your website or materials without crowding it. These margins around the logomark help prevent clutter from surrounding images, artwork, copy, or the page edge.

‘No margin’ versions are also included if you prefer to use those.

If desired, the badge can be used more subtly by adjusting the opacity. Avoid going below 25% opacity for the sake of readability. 

Usage

The badge may be placed in prominent places such as the header of a website or in close proximity to your logo. OR, you may choose to place it in more subtle locations such as the website/application footer. Either is fine. 

When possible, please link the image to near.org

1. Use on your website or application

In the header

2. Use it with your logo

When combining it with your logo, please respect the proper margins of your logo and the badge. Please refer to the following examples for guidance:

Example (in use):

Typography

As an integral part of our brand, the following font family should be used. These typefaces are our unique handwriting and add emphasis to the personality of our identity.

FK Grotesk Family

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
1234568790,.;'[]-=+{}!@#$%^&*()

Principles:

  • Only Semibold, Medium, and Regular weights should be used.
  • Use lots of whitespace (let it breathe!)
  • Text should always be left-aligned
