AAG’s Graphic Identity

Color palette

AAG’s main colors are dark blue, red and gold. The primary dark blue is the predominant anchor in our website and other graphic identities with the gold acting as a secondary accent—usually as text or decoration when dark blue is used as a background color. The presence of red indicates action and is used for CTAs across the site, as well as within the Advocacy section.

 Dark blue  Primary color (used on headlines, etc.) #052A47
 Gold (tan)  Secondary color (used on dark blue background) #C7A98C
 Raspberry red  Action color (used sparingly for CTAs, etc.) #E44A50

Type usage

AAG uses two font families: PT Serif and Open Sans. PT Serif is most often used for dominant headlines of various sizes, while Open Sans is used for subheads and body text. Both can be used for graphics, depending on style.
