CompTIA Spark brand colors

Our primary brand color is spark blue which should be used as liberally as possible to achieve a consistent brand look. This is the only color in the palette that should be used in large blocks of color.

The spark orange is our call-to-action (CTA) color. The only acceptable use of this color, besides the spark symbol, is when highlighting a CTA (such as by circling it or “drawing” an orange arrow to highlight it).

Color values:

To expand the available colors for graphic design, while retaining consistency, some of our brand colors may be screened to specific percentages. These are the allowed tints. Note that spark orange and ink pen navy should never be screened.

CompTIA Spark typography

CompTIA Spark utilizes Roboto, Roboto Slab and Better Times fonts as part of our brand, ensuring a cohesive and easily readable experience across all platforms. The Roboto and Roboto Slab are free and open-source fonts.

TechGirlz, a program of CompTIA Spark

TechGirlz powered by CompTIA Spark:

The connection to the organization must be made clear in written text using the phrase powered by CompTIA Spark or similar wording such as TechGirlz workshops are a program of CompTIA Spark.

TechGirlz must never stand alone without a CompTIA Spark identifier (whether in written text or in logo form).
Do not use a possessive form of TechGirlz. (Avoid TechGirlz’ or TechGirlz’s). Always re-order the sentence to avoid.
