Professional
Use measured language, structured layouts and restrained emphasis.
Sibner Group / Capital / Investment Management
Brand & Interface Guidelines
A practical visual system for consistent, compliant digital communication across the Sibner brand family.
01
Brand Essence
The current site presents Sibner as institutional, calm and precise. The identity system now supports Sibner Group, Sibner Capital and Sibner Investment Management as one connected brand family.
Direct
Lead with clear section titles, short support copy and visible contact routes.
Understated
Avoid promotional excess. Yellow is a signal, not decoration.
Compliance-aware
Keep investment wording close to approved site copy and preserve risk language.
02
Logo Usage
Use the supplied final logo artwork. The Sibner cornerstone and wordmark create one shared family system across Group, Capital and Investment Management.
Use for group-level, corporate and family office contexts.
Use for Sibner Capital communications and related web or document surfaces.
Use for investment management, fund, professional investor and compliance-led contexts.
One master system
The cornerstone device, Sibner wordmark, black artwork and clear-space logic remain consistent across all three entities.
SVG first
Use supplied SVG files for websites, brand guidelines and digital interfaces. Use 3000px PNG files for high-resolution documents and social media.
Entity clarity
Select the entity logo that matches the legal or commercial context. Do not substitute Group, Capital or Investment Management interchangeably.
Keep generous clear space, preserve proportions and use existing file artwork.
Stretch, recolour, add effects, or separate the cornerstone mark from the wordmark.
03
Colour System
Core colour comes directly from the current site tokens. Navy carries authority, cream and bone provide editorial calm, yellow marks focus.
04
Typography
Headings use Geist with strong weight and tight line-height. Body uses Inter with generous line-height and no negative letter spacing.

Grid & Spacing
The interface rhythm is built from a 44px unit, 22px half unit, max width of 1232px and section padding that scales with viewport width.
44px
22px
1232px max
Desktop
Use two or three-column modules inside the 1232px max width. Preserve wide section padding and visible grid cadence.
06
Cornerstone Device
The cornerstone suggests alignment, structure, underwriting discipline and focus. Use yellow sparingly through corners, lines and small highlights.
The Future of UK Real Estate Debt lies with Private Markets
Use thin lines, small corners, measured focus points and grid alignment.
Use large yellow panels, loose decorative blocks or high-volume accent fields.
08
Cards & Modules
Cards are rectangular, precise and mostly dark. Hover states lift slightly and reveal a controlled yellow signal.
Operating in UK Real Estate
Use approved proof points only and pair them with clear risk-aware context.
Operating as a SME Lender
Maintain short headings, muted body copy and consistent card padding.
March 2025 Fund Launch
Keep figures, dates and product language aligned to reviewed source copy.
09
Motion Principles
Motion is structural: scan, align, reveal and settle. It should feel calm, purposeful and optional.
10
Page Templates
Use current page archetypes: dark hero, cream positioning statement, dark proof modules, contact/map block, regulatory stack.
11
Imagery & Maps
Use real site assets. The map pairs a light, desaturated base with a yellow focus device and compact details panel.
12
Compliance & Copy Tone
Keep financial wording close to approved Sibner copy. Do not add guaranteed outcome language, exaggerated claims or unreviewed performance statements.
“Capital is at risk. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.”
Guaranteed returns, retail investor targeting, unsupported rankings, or language that implies certainty.
“The investment products and services of Sibner Investment Management Ltd are only available to professional clients and eligible counterparties.”
