Logo

Concept
The Hurricane Labs brand logo is composed of thoughtful typography. Our logo has the iconic H mark. Accordingly, this mark features the eye of the hurricane-style swooshes.

The typography of our logo captures the energy of a hurricane and conveys our forward-thinking approach.

Quick Story! The “Hurricane” in “Hurricane Labs” stands for being a port in the security storm. That is to say, we help people defend their data. There’s a little controversy about the “Labs” part of the phrase. Some people believe it stands for the literal meaning: computer labs. Others think it’s about someone’s adorable pet lab (dog). Either way, it means we work hard, but we also like to have fun.

Variations
Our primary logo is dark blue (A). For the purpose of clarity, the white version (b) should be used on dark backgrounds and the black version (C) on light backgrounds.

Not okay to use

Spacing
To ensure clear visuals, keep the area around the logo free of elements. To illustrate, clear space is the height of the ‘I’ without the dot on all sides.

Secondary Logo
Hurricane Labs’ secondary logo can be used to replace the primary mark. This logo is for cases where the full logo is not ideal or where space is limited. For example, the secondary logo can be used when Hurricane Labs will appear in plain text. For example, in social media profile pictures where the name will appear next to it.

Color guidelines for the secondary logo match those of the primary logo above.
