Logo Usage Standards:
The Canaan Logo is the key component to the visual identity. The Logo has three elements. As a whole, they create the “Canaan Standard”. The Logotype is a simple, elegant typeface that is classically roman in proportion and character, but without serifs. The Triangle is a symbol of aspiration and rising up; it is also the alchemechal symbol of fire. The broad base of the triangle represents a solid foundation and groundedness to the aspirations. The Blue Field creates the flag which represents the Canaan Partners standard.
