Co-Branding

Use only the Powered logo or Powered icon to support a Financial Institution's logo, checking account, or program. Do not modify the color, design, or any other elements of the BaZing logo. The BaZing logo must have "powered by" in order to be co-branded.

Margin Zone

Our logo should be surrounded by a minimum amount of clear space in which no other graphic element may intrude. The logo and icon's margin zone is equal to the height of the "Z" in BaZing.

Logo Misuse

Do not change the appearance of the logo or icon. No attempt should be made to alter the logo in any way. Its orientation, color and composition should remain as provided — there are no exceptions. Also, allow a minimum size to ensure legibility of the logo. The logo should never be smaller than 95px in digital or 1" in print.

Content

  • Always spell StrategyCorps with a capital S and a capital C: StrategyCorps
  • Always spell BaZing with a capital B and a capital Z: BaZing
  • Always spell CorpsPartner with a capital C and a capital P: CorpsPartner
  • Always spell CheckingScore with a capital C and a capital S: CheckingScore
  • Unless a StrategyCorps event is taking place for a singular group in a singular time zone, always list start as Central Time Zone (CT).(Ex: King of the Hill takes place Tuesday, January 26, 2 p.m. CT. while a concurrent webinar presented solely to the Washington Bankers Association would take place Tuesday, January 26, 11 a.m. PT)
  • Use Oxford comma in all content produced for StrategyCorps, CheckingScore, or BaZing. The Oxford comma is the comma used before “and” or “or” in a list of three or more items (as shown in the previous sentence.)
  • Unless you are composing legal documents, follow any punctuation used with a single space between sentences — not two.

Photography

Our photography is shot in-house. This allows us to have one of a kind images that speak to our unique, candid, and natural, style. Do not use stock photography found on the internet.
