Visual Identity Guide

We are an independent online publication about Kharkiv and Ukraine in the world.

Before the full-scale Russian war against Ukraine, we developed the creative ecosystem of Kharkiv, the country's second-largest city. But times have changed, and so have we.

Today we aim to represent Kharkiv and Ukraine in the world.

We believe that relying on human rights is the way to social change.

We ensure one of such rights daily, providing access to verified information. In the first days of the full-scale invasion, we created a fact-checking bot called Perevirka, which people can use to verify any news.

We are an independent media platform based in Ukraine. Before the full-scale Russian war against Ukraine, we were developing the creative ecosystem of Kharkiv, the second-largest city in Ukraine. But times have changed. And so have we.

Main text – Inerta Light

Today we aim to represent Kharkiv in the world.We work on the ground to show the Russian war crimes committed in Kharkiv Oblast. We visit Kharkiv communities to discover how they manage to sustain and recover. We talk to Kharkiv entrepreneurs, artists, educators, IT specialists, and young activists to bring their voices to the world.

IMAGE PROCESSING STYLE

Для урізноманітнення вигляду рубрик та фіду використовуємо дуотон. Для цього застосовується плагін у Figma - Duotones або Gradient map у Photoshop.

ВАЖЛИВО! Дуотон використовуємо у кольорах добре видимих та контрастних. Бліді та невиразні тони заборонені. Також не рекомендується інверсію тонів.

Дозволені варіанти дуотонів показані нижче.

To diversify the appearance of the headings and feed, we use duotone. The plugin in Figma - Duotones or Gradient Map in Photoshop is used for this purpose.

Duotone must be used in visible and contrasting colors. Pale and indistinct tones are prohibited. Tone inversion is also not recommended.

Allowed duotone options are shown below. They can be used only in pairs. For example #E8722F + #143C5F. It is forbidden to break up the pair.
