The nano
brand kit
Everything you need to show nano in your app, shop or article: the symbol, logos, payment badges, colours and typefaces.
The nano symbol
Use the symbol alone where space is tight, such as app icons, price tags and payment buttons. On busy backgrounds, use a badge so the symbol stays clear. All files have transparent backgrounds, shown here as a chequered pattern.
Symbol and name
The full logo, for headers, partner pages and print. Pick the version with the most contrast against your background. All files have a transparent background.

Show customers you take nano. Choose a colour, language and style, then download the badge or copy the code for your website.
