The five rules every sub-brand follows
- Colour split. Structure is HTS Navy. Exactly one focal
element in Action Blue. Never inverted.
- Negative space. A consistent transparent gap isolates the focal
element so it survives scaling down.
- Typography. Inter. Two-word names split Medium 500 + ExtraBold 800;
single-word names all ExtraBold. Tracking −0.02em.
- Endorsement. Reads exactly “by Harris Technology
Services” — “by” in Neutral Gray, parent in SemiBold navy,
ratio 1:3.16.
- Variant set. Six files on a 100×100 grid, content spanning
12–88, so every sub-brand shares one optical size.
The Node Coworking space · 5 West Gay Street
A diamond divided into four quadrants by open channels, with a circular node suspended
at the centre. Always “The Node” — never “Node” or
“HTS Node”. Members are licensees, never tenants.

Managed Managed services line · htsmanaged.com
A six-blade camera aperture with an Action Blue iris core. The iris reads as vision and
continuous observation rather than generic security. The wordmark is “Managed”
alone — the products already carry the parent (HTS Sentinel, HTS BadgeFlow,
HTS AccessOps, HTS NetOps, HTS Comply), so it rides the endorsement line instead of being
repeated.

Small sizes, and why favicons need a hinted file
Both marks suffer subpixel bleed in the focal gap at 16px. Compare the samples below at
actual size. For a favicon, supply a hand-hinted PNG or ICO — do not scale the SVG
and hope.

Before anything is painted, printed or wrapped
Use the outlined files. The working SVGs keep live text so they stay
editable. For anything fabricated — signage, embroidery, engraving, vehicle graphics
— use the outlined variants, where the wordmark is converted to vector paths. A
fabricator without Inter installed substitutes a system font silently and breaks the
wordmark. Every logo on this page is an outlined file.
The palette is a screen specification, not a fabrication one. It is hex
only. Get a physical drawdown from your fabricator, approve it, and send the resulting
PMS or RAL values back to us so they can be recorded here. Action Blue #00B8EB is a
saturated cyan that shifts noticeably between substrates. This applies to the parent HTS
mark in section 01 as well.
Need the source files, an outlined set, or a lockup that is not shown
here? Ask before improvising one — see section 06.
