Brand & Design System
The single source of truth for GOLD IRA.
Every colour, typeface, button and component that builds the site — in one place. Download the logos, copy the palette, and reuse the same building blocks so every new page stays perfectly on-brand.
Brand Assets
Logo & downloads
The approved lockups. Download vector SVG for print and web, or high-resolution PNG for slides, docs and social. Use the white version on dark backgrounds. Keep clear space of at least the cap-height around the mark, and never recolour, stretch or add effects.
Horizontal Lockup
Primary lockup. Use in headers, wide spaces and email signatures.
Vertical Lockup
Stacked mark for square spaces, footers, social avatars and print.
Palette
Colour
Two poles — malachite green and warm gold — on warm paper, never pure white or grey. Click any swatch to copy its hex; click the label row to copy the token name.
