The Lift mark.

A U, cut in two. The left half is the drag: the slow, manual work that holds a business down. The right half is the same work after we've been through it. It has risen, and it's brighter.

Drag Lift
LIFT 4/9 R ONE RISING LINE · 2:5 THE SLICE GAP 7 · R 36 · r 16

Construction

Built from one idea.

1
Two concentric arcsAn outer radius of 36 and an inner of 16 give arms 20 units thick: heavy enough to read at 16px.
2
One rising lineBoth arm tops are cut along the same 2:5 slope.
3
One slice, square to itThe U is cut at right angles to the rising line, so every straight edge runs one of two ways.
4
The liftThe right half rises 16 units from where it sat (dashed) and turns from deep blue to mint as it goes.

Usage

Give it room to rise.

Keep clear space around the logo equal to one arm of the mark. Don't use the full logo below 96px wide or the mark below 16px tall; below that, use the favicon, which has a wider gap.

Don't rotate or tilt it.

Don't swap the colours. The lift is always the bright half.

Don't close the gap or level the halves.

Don't stretch, squash or add effects.

Colour

Built from the logo.

White and light grey give the page room; navy carries the text and the dark panels; Updraft Blue is the one accent. Teal and mint come from the lift side of the mark and mark good outcomes.
