Brand Essence

Primary — Dark background

Den mest människa AI
företag i världen.

Mission
To solve real business problems through tailored digital products, sharp strategy, and technology built for reality.
Vision
To set the standard for AI-driven business architecture in the Nordics by combining deep technical expertise with real business understanding.
What this means in practice

We do not start with hype. We start with the work itself. We look at how people actually operate, where friction happens, and what would make technology genuinely useful. From there, we build solutions that make sense in context and can live in real operations.

Human-first technology
Technology should adapt to people and workflows, not the other way around.
Pragmatic innovation
We build solutions that work in practice, create momentum, and hold up in reality.
Deep expertise
We are highly technical and deeply experienced, but we communicate clearly and without unnecessary noise.
Built for reality
We stay close to operations, users, and context. The best solution is the one that gets used.

Logo

The BCT logo is one of the brand's most recognisable assets and should always be used with care and consistency. The logo represents the balance at the core of BCT: technical precision, clarity, and a distinct but approachable expression.
Primary Logo
BCT symbol + wordmark

This is the preferred and default logo. It should be used whenever space allows and whenever the full brand name needs to appear clearly.

Use the primary logo for:

  • website
  • presentations
  • proposals
  • case material
  • most branded surfaces
  • social content where space allows

This should always be the first choice. And should be - if possible - placed bottom left.

Secondary logo
BCT symbol only

This version is used when the primary logo does not fit or when a more compact expression is needed.

Use the secondary logo for:

  • small digital placements
  • profile images
  • favicons
  • compact layouts
  • situations where the full logo becomes too small to read

Use this only when the primary logo is not practical.

Wordmark only
Supporting wordmark

The wordmark can be used in selected cases where the symbol-led versions are not suitable.

Use the wordmark only for:

  • narrow formats
  • specific layout systems
  • branded compositions where the full name needs emphasis
  • approved applications where the symbol would create imbalance

This is not the default logo and should be used selectively.

Logo hierarchy

When choosing a logo, always follow this order:

  1. Primary logo: BCT symbol + wordmark
  2. Secondary logo: BCT symbol only
  3. Wordmark only, if the first two are not suitable If a dark background is used, switch to the inverted version of the same logo.
Best practice

When in doubt, use the full primary logo. Only move to the simpler versions when space, readability, or format requires it. The goal is not to maximise variation.

The goal is to use the most complete and recognisable version possible in each situation.

Avoid

Avoid the following:

  • adding drop shadows
  • applying outlines
  • changing colours
  • distorting the shape
  • placing the logo on busy backgrounds without enough contrast
  • using low-quality exports recreating the logo manually

Tone of voice

BCT’s tone of voice should feel clear, intelligent, human, and slightly cheeky. We are expert-led, but never cold. Confident, but never inflated. Technical, but never inaccessible.
Our tone is
  • Clear
  • Direct
  • Human
  • Smart
  • Practical
  • Playful
  • Personal
  • Sharp
  • Confident without trying too hard
Our tone is not
  • Overly corporate
  • Buzzword-heavy
  • Robotic
  • Vague
  • Overwritten
  • Generic "AI future" language
  • Consultancy theatre

Color Usage Distribution

Midnight Core
~45% — Primary base
Cloud Surface
~25% — Light base & whitespace
Data Navy
~15% — Secondary surfaces
Soft Pulse
~8% — Warmth & highlights
Infra Plum
~5% — Brand moments
Signal Lime
~2% — Sparingly. CTAs only
Best practice:

Use accent colours to guide attention, not to fill space. When everything is highlighted, nothing is highlighted. Use Signal Lime for the single most important data point or takeaway.

Gradients

Gradients are an important part of BCT's visual identity. They add depth, atmosphere, and a more sensory digital feel when used intentionally.
Use gradients for
  • Brand surfaces
  • Backgrounds
  • Hero sections
  • Selected large-scale visual moments
Avoid gradients in
  • Small UI elements
  • Behind small text
  • Compact interface components
  • Places where readability is reduced

Best practice:

Use gradients to create mood and dimension, not decoration for its own sake.

Art Direction & Imagery

BCT imagery should support the story of who we are: highly capable people, real collaboration, technology in use, and a culture that feels both serious and human.

  • Use relaxed imagery where it supports the culture
  • Show technology in realistic environments
Avoid
  • Generic stock photography

  • Overly formal corporate imagery
  • Blurry, grainy, or low-quality images
  • "AI company" cliché imagery

Our photography should feel authentic, contemporary, human, relaxed but professional, and real rather than staged. Natural light or soft lighting is preferred wherever possible.
