Please use the full-color logo whenever possible. The logo should be big enough so that “Early Learning Services” is legible (size 8 at the very least).
Our full name is BrightSpark Early Learning Services. Please note that although our logo is stylized to include only lowercase letters, the first letter in each word should be capitalized when written. In addition, the ‘S’ in “BrightSpark” is capitalized as well.
If you need to shorten our name, you can use “BrightSpark ELS” or simply “BrightSpark.” Acronyms are not encouraged, but if absolutely necessary, “BSELS” is an acceptable abbreviation. Never use “BS.”
We use “Sora” fonts for headings, “Figtree” fonts for body text, and “Como” fonts for taglines, captions, contact information, etc. Find and download all of these fonts in the .zip folder below.
