Introduction

This manual defines the visual and strategic standards for BrandFrame. It ensures that every touchpoint remains consistent, professional, and aligned with our core identity as we scale

Core Pillars

Mission

Our mission is to deliver consistently qualified B2B leads through a transparent, hands-on approach that prioritises real sales outcomes over vanity metrics.

Vision

Our vision is to become the most trusted premium lead generation partner for UK B2B companies seeking predictable, scalable growth.

Values

We value reliability, quality over volume, and honest partnerships that help our clients build predictable growth.

Brand Personality

ClarityComplexity

Most lead gen agencies create complexity and noise. Otally positions itself as the clear path to a predictable pipeline.

PrecisionVolume

Competitors optimise for volume. Otally optimises for qualified, sales-ready leads.

PremiumCommodity

The brand signals a high-value partner, not a cheap lead marketplace.

SelectiveAvailable to Everyone

Scarcity increases perceived value. Otally intentionally works with limited clients to maintain results.

HumanAutomated

Founder-led campaigns and manual lead vetting signal care, expertise, and accountability.

CalmHype

The brand communicates with confidence rather than exaggerated promises.

Target Audience

Ottaly works with UK-based B2B companies that sell products or services other businesses regularly need, and who want a predictable stream of qualified leads without building an internal sales development team. These are typically growth-focused companies, led by decision-makers like Sales Directors, Managing Directors, or CEOs looking for a reliable pipeline partner rather than a cheap lead provider.

Tone of Voice

Ottaly communicates with calm confidence, clarity, and honesty. The tone is professional and direct, never salesy or exaggerated, focusing on clear explanations, realistic expectations, and transparent communication. It should feel human, knowledgeable, and trustworthy, reflecting a boutique partner who values long-term relationships over hype or aggressive selling.

Logo & Usage

The logo symbol combines a circle and directional mark to represent a continuous pipeline of opportunity moving forward. The circle symbolises consistency, reliability, and a system that keeps generating results, while the forward point represents qualified opportunities being delivered with precision, reinforcing Ottaly’s focus on predictable, high-quality lead generation rather than random volume. An added unique element of an otter creates recognition for the brand and character.

Our Logo

Primary Logo

The primary logo is the main visual identifier of the brand. It combines the wordmark and symbol into a single, balanced unit and should be used in most brand applications.

This version is recommended whenever space and contrast allow for optimal legibility.

Image Logo Versions

Secondary Logo

The secondary logo is an alternative version designed for layouts where the primary logo does not fit naturally.It should be used selectively and only when the primary logo cannot be applied without compromising clarity or composition.

Image Logo 2 Versions

Icon

The icon is a simplified representation of the brand and should be used in contexts where space is limited or where a minimal brand presence is required. Common use cases include: Favicons, App icons, Social media avatars, Small UI elements.The icon should never replace the primary logo in formal or prominent brand applications.

Image Logo Icon Versions

Rules

Clear Space

To ensure brand integrity and visual impact, a mandatory protection area has been defined that must remain free of outside elements. The "X" unit of measurement is extracted directly from the height of the symbol's lower module (letter B), providing a consistent internal metric that dictates the required clear space on all four sides of the asset.

Graph Clear Space

Minimum Size

Minimum Size

To preserve legibility and visual system recognition, the logo must not be reproduced at sizes smaller than those specified. These limits ensure that the symbol's anatomical details, such as the central division of the letter B, remain sharp in both digital and print media.

Minimum Size logo versions

Missuse of logo

Missuse of logo

The integrity of the visual identity depends on the consistent application of its rules. It is strictly forbidden to alter, distort, or modify the logo components. Respecting the "X" unit of measurement and the original structure is fundamental to maintaining the brand's visual authority.

Logo Dont's

Colors

The deep blue gradient signals trust, stability, and authority, which are essential in B2B decisions. The lighter tones introduce clarity and forward momentum, reflecting Ottaly’s promise of predictable growth.

The yellow accent is used sparingly to add energy and draw attention, highlighting key moments of opportunity without disrupting the calm, trustworthy foundation of the brand.

Graph Clear Space

Neutral Colors

Background

Used in a progression from dark to light (BG-Primary to BG-Quaternary) to establish layout depth. Apply deeper tones for base foundations and lighter variants to create subtle relief and contrast between structural containers.

Text

Organized in a descending scale from pure white to dark blue (Text-Primary to Text-Quaternary) to define information priority. Use primary tones for high-impact headlines and secondary variants for body copy and metadata to ensure optimal legibility. Usability depends also on high contrast against background.

Accent Color

The accent color is strategically implemented to highlight key elements and guide user attention across the interface. It is specifically recommended for active states, highlights, key indicators, and interactive elements. To preserve its visual impact and maintain a clean hierarchy, this color should be used sparingly throughout the design system.

The typographic system follows a Minor Third (1.2) scale for secondary hierarchy (H2–H6) and body text, creating consistent and harmonious spacing across the interface. Headings scale progressively to maintain clear visual hierarchy without overwhelming the layout.

As a strategic exception, H1 is designed with fluid scaling relative to viewport width to maximise impact and presence. For web environments, it is constrained to a maximum width of 900px to ensure optimal readability and line length. In print and brand applications, H1 scales proportionally without fixed constraints, allowing for greater flexibility and visual expression.
