The importance of Anemos brand image cannot be overstated and this page aims to define that for consistency as much as absolute correctness.

It almost goes without saying, Anemos branded materials should be accurate and of high quality. However, many style choices have to be made and remade, and will vary across different media categories or channels. For example, this wiki should be in descriptive or expository writing style and not use first- or second-person forms. The corporate website may be more effusive or persuasive, and can refer to "you" as the reader/customer. A blog post would often be written from first person and perspective, use "you" and take a conversational flavour.
General Style and Tone
Minimalist, direct and concise. As low-noise as possible (visually and otherwise).

Logos
SVG (not PNG) logos should be used whenever possible and these files found here.
Webpages
Text alignment
Use left aligned, unjustified text on body text and most other text elements (headings, picture captions, box captions, table cell contents) unless there is a really good reason not to -- browsers generally do poor job of justification.
Naming
File names
Page names
Note page names are case sensitive and capitalisation of headings and file names becomes an issue.
