Brand Book
& Asset Kit.

The working manual for the GENESIS Grants identity: the figure, the name, the colour and the type, and the templates for every document the service puts in a client's hands, from the quote to the closing certificate.

Colophon

The reviewer reads every line. So does this book.

GENESIS Grants audits funding proposals before they are submitted: it reads the call, reads the proposal, scores it against the evaluation criteria and returns findings a coordinator can act on. The figure that signs everything we publish is half person, half machine, because that is how the work is split. The machine reads; the person decides.

Use this book as a working manual. It tells you which file to use, which colour, how to write the name, and what never goes on a client document. When it does not cover a case, apply its first rule: write it so an evaluator would trust it.

Chapter 01 · Foundations

An audit before the evaluators read it.

What GENESIS Grants does, who buys it, and the three principles every rule in this book comes from.

1.1
Mission & position

We tell a coordinator where the proposal loses points, while there is still time to fix it.

Service
Audit of grant proposals against the call text and the evaluation criteria, in rounds
Buyers

Programmes

Delivery

Outputs

What we are not

We are not a proposal-writing agency and we do not sell a success rate. We do not promise funding. We do not submit on anyone's behalf. We are not a chatbot: the client receives a report with findings tied to the call text and to the page where the problem is.

The coordinator keeps the pen. Every decision about the proposal stays with the people who sign it.

1.2
Principles

Three rules. Everything else in this book follows from them.

01

The person decides.

The figure is split down the middle for a reason. Reading, checking and scoring are mechanical; judgement and signature are human. Every surface that shows a result also shows where a person validated it.

02

Every finding has an address.

A finding names the criterion, the section and the page, and quotes the proposal word for word. If we cannot point to where it is, we do not say it. The same rule governs our marketing: no claim without its source.

03

The client's work stays the client's.

Client names, project acronyms and proposal text never appear in anything public. Examples in this book and on the website are invented and marked as such.

02
Chapter 02 · The figure

Half person, half machine. One continuous line.

The only mark GENESIS Grants uses. It appears on the portal, the documents, the favicon and every cover.

2.1
Concept

A standing figure, split down the vertical axis.

The left half is smooth and human. The right half is mechanical: joints drawn as circles, a segmented arm, an antenna. The two halves share one outline, so the figure reads as one body doing one job.

Read it two ways. Literally, it is the service: a reviewer and a machine working the same proposal. As a signature, it marks every document as checked by both.

2.2
Clear space & sizes

One head of clear space on every side.

The unit X is the height of the figure's head. Keep 1X clear around the mark or the lockup; 2X on covers and banners. No text, rule, image or page edge enters that zone.

2.3
Misuse

Eight ways to break the figure. Don't.

DON'TStretch or squash it.

DON'TMirror it. The human half is always on the viewer's left.

DON'TRecolour it outside cyan, ink and white.

DON'TRotate it or set it in motion.

DON'TAdd shadows, glows or bevels.

DON'TPlace it where it loses contrast.

Génesis

DON'TReplace it with a typed name or another drawing.

DON'TBring back the retired pose in motion (v1.0 "símbolo · acción").

03
Chapter 03 · Name & lockups

GENESIS Grants. Two words, one spelling.

How the name is written in text, how it is drawn in the lockup, and the claim that travels with it.

3.1
Writing the name

GENESIS in capitals, Grants in title case, no accent.

In running text, on documents and in the portal, the service is always GENESIS Grants. After the first mention, GENESIS alone is correct. The word never takes an accent in any language.

The claim

Grant proposal audit · Auditoría de propuestas. It sits under the name in the portal header, on the login screen and on every manual and document cover. Set in IBM Plex Mono, capitals, tracked +220.

Inside the lockup

In the drawn lockup, GRANTS is set in capitals in cyan under the wordmark. That is part of the drawing and does not change the rule for running text.

3.2
Lockups

Three official lockups. No fourth.

The figure, the GENESIS wordmark in Space Grotesk Bold converted to curves, and GRANTS in cyan. In the horizontal lockup the figure is 3.5 times the wordmark's height. Use the master files; do not reset the type.

GRANTSGrant proposal audit
A · on ink · figure turns white, GRANTS stays cyan

On dark grounds

On ink, the figure and the wordmark turn white. GRANTS stays cyan, which reads at 8.5:1 on ink. The claim drops to fog grey.

Never put the cyan figure on the cyan tile, and never use the lockup on a photograph.

Chapter 04 · Colour

Ink and cyan carry the brand. White carries the page.

A small palette with strict jobs, a scale for interface work, and three action colours that belong to the product.

4.1
Primary palette

Four colours do the brand work.

Cyan carries the figure, GRANTS, rules and one accent per surface. Ink is the text colour and the ground for covers and headers. White is the page. Graphite sets running text where ink would be too heavy.

WHITE 60
INK 25
CY 10

Documents and the portal default to white. Covers, headers and social cards invert: ink 60, white 25, cyan 10.

No decoration colours

There is no brand green, amber or purple. Status and action colours exist only inside the product (4.3) and never appear on covers, the website or social posts. The amber of v1.0 is retired.

4.2
Scales

Two scales for interface, tables and charts.

Use the cyan scale for links, data and hover states, and the neutral scale for lines, panels and secondary text. Cyan 700 is the colour for cyan text on white; brand cyan itself never sets body text.

Action colours

In the portal, colour says who acts and what it costs.

Buttons follow the figure. The left half is human, so the left side of every button bar and decision window holds what a person does: judgement, decisions and signature, in purple. The right half is the machine, so the right side holds what GENESIS does: reading, checking and scoring, in blue. Launching a round is a decision with a charge: red, on the left, behind a confirmation window. Navigation, downloads, Cancel and Delete stay neutral; in decision windows Cancel sits on the right.

Contrast

Hit AA everywhere. Cyan is a surface colour, not a text colour.

Brand cyan on white measures 2.2:1, below every WCAG threshold. Use it for the figure, rules and fills; write text in ink, graphite or Cyan 700.

Labels on blue

White on UI blue #0EA5E9 measures 2.8:1, below AA. Since v19.9.3 every label on that blue is set in ink (6.5:1); on hover the button lightens to #38BDF8 (8.4:1) instead of darkening. The colour of the button does not change.

Chapter 06 · Voice

Precise. Sourced. Plain.

We write like an evaluator who wants the proposal to succeed: exact about the problem, specific about the fix.

6.1
Three rules

How we sound.

01

Precise.

Name the criterion, the section, the page. Use the programme's own terms: call, topic, work package, threshold, expected outcome.

DO"Criterion 2, section 2.1, page 24: the three outcomes have no indicator or target year."
DON'T"The impact section could be strengthened in several areas."
02

Sourced.

Quote the call and the proposal word for word. Separate what the text says from what we recommend. Never promise a score or a grant.

DO"The topic text asks for 'validation in at least two relevant environments'. Section 1.3 describes one pilot site."
DON'T"With these changes your proposal will be funded."
03

Plain.

Short sentences, active voice, real numbers. The reader is a busy coordinator two weeks from a deadline.

DO"Round 2 is ready. 14 findings, 3 of them blocking."
DON'T"Our AI-powered platform has completed a comprehensive analysis of your submission."
6.2
In practice

The same voice on six surfaces.

All examples below are invented. Client names and project acronyms never appear on public material.

Chapter 07 · Parent company

One line, at the foot of the page.

GENESIS Grants is a service of Solo Lattices Company Ltd. The relationship is stated once, in legal terms, and the brand stays independent.

7.1
The legal line

The parent appears as a legal entity, never as a brand.

Solo Lattices does not endorse GENESIS Grants with its mark. Its name appears in exactly two forms: the legal line in the footer, and the full company data in the billing block of quotes and invoices.

Where it appears

  • Footer of quotes, invoices, audit reports, certificates and letters
  • Billing details block: Solo Lattices Company Ltd, 2 Bramble Court, The Grange, John's Hill, X91 T2D6, Waterford, Ireland · Reg. 659731 · VAT IE3656380DH
  • Footer of the portal login screen
  • Closing slide, website footer and this colophon

Where it never appears

  • Headers, covers and lockups
  • Signature lines: always "For GENESIS Grants"
  • The Solo Lattices cube, wordmark or corporate seal on any GENESIS document
  • Portal screens after login, social posts, video backgrounds
  • The footer line with city, registration or VAT added

Chapter 08 · Applications

Twelve surfaces a proposal audit actually uses.

From the portal header to the closing certificate. Each one follows the approved quote model of September 2026.

8.1
Client portal

The figure fills the ink band from top to bottom.

The header is one ink band. The figure takes its full height, then GENESIS Grants and the claim, large. Navigation sits right. Below the band, white cards on frost.

Charts

Scores on the evaluators' own scale.

In most Horizon Europe actions, evaluators score each award criterion from 0 to 5 with a threshold of 3, and the total from 0 to 15 with a threshold of 10. Charts use that scale and draw the threshold as a line. The latest round is cyan; earlier rounds are haze grey. Values sit on the bars.

Colour rules

Cyan for the current round only. Severity steps through ink, Cyan 700 and cloud, so it survives greyscale printing. The threshold line is purple: a pass or fail is a human judgement on the report.

Anatomy

Title in Space Grotesk, unit line in mono capitals, hairline grid, values on the marks. Label every chart with example data as such until it holds a real project.

02 · The scoreA chart from a report (8.12), on white, with its title and unit line.

GENESIS Grants

03 · The portalScreens with example projects only. Blur nothing: if it needs blurring, it should not be there.

What never appears

Stock photos of meetings, handshakes or people pointing at screens. Stock robots, brains, circuit boards or glowing networks: the figure is the only robot we show. Client names, logos, acronyms or proposal text. Screenshots of model providers' interfaces.

The EU emblem

GENESIS Grants is not an EU body and is not funded by the programmes it audits. Programme names are written as text. The EU flag appears only on a document that is required to carry it, never beside the lockup and never as decoration.

End matter

That's the manual.
