A Brand Built Around Winter

Linko Vectis takes its look from the cold: crisp white space, frosted glass and glacial blue in the details. This is the Linko Vectis Glacial Twilight Design System, designed and engineered in house. It carries through to Valacia Studio, where you manage your websites and your customers.

Why Winter

Designed To Feel Calm And Clear

Our Cloud Engineering Director designed this brand, and winter is their favourite season. It is ours too: cold mornings with a hot drink, and the hush when snow falls and even the roads go quiet.

Our brand is built on that calm. The colours, the glass and the cold light on these pages all come from it. We want our software to feel the same way: calm and clear to use, and quietly at work in the background.

The Names

The Story Behind Our Names

Our founding directors chose both names together, drawing on Latin and on words we simply love the sound of. Valacia arrived while we were looking for a name to sit beside Linko Vectis, something with the ring of Eurasia or Anastasia.

To us it sounds icy and glacial: calm, clear and untouched. We say it va-LAY-sha. Other companies and products called Valacia are not connected with us.

Design System

The Glacial Twilight Design System

Every colour, glass panel, drawing and movement on this website comes from the Glacial Twilight Design System. Linko Vectis made it for its own websites and services.

Our Colours

  • NightThe header, the footer and every dark section.
  • AzureThe bright blue that picks out details in our drawings.
  • SkyThe italic headline words, section labels and drawings on our dark sections, and the cold light in our glows.
  • IceThe words on our Recommended tab and the pale wash inside our tinted glass.
  • PaperThe white behind every word you read on a light section, and the face of our cards there.
  • Deep AzureThe body of every main button on a light background, under a gloss of ice.

Glass

Our cards and panels are glass: frosted white on a light section, dark on a dark one. Each one catches the light at a corner and sits on a soft, cool shadow.

Behind the words, every light section is white. The glacial blue lives at the edges and in the cold glow behind our cards.

Cards

Every card comes from one set of parts. An icon sits in a tile beside the title, features run as ticked rows and the link rests at the foot. Cards in a row share one height, so their links line up.

Type

Headlines are large and calm, set in a display face of their own. Their final words turn italic in glacial blue, and that is where the emphasis lands.

Everything else is set in one clean text face, at one scale on every card. On white it is deep navy, never black.

Labels And Buttons

Card labels are small round pills with ice-white words, navy on a light section. Main buttons are glossy deep azure with ice-white words, and the second choice is white. Every label and button is tested for contrast against the colour behind it.

Drawings

Our drawings are objects of glass and ice, drawn in three dimensions and made in house. Each one appears only where a picture explains something better than words can.

Motion

Motion is calm and brief. A drawing assembles as it comes into view and always plays to the end, however fast you scroll. If your device asks for less motion, each drawing appears finished.

Logo And Slogan

The Logo And What It Says

Our logo was drawn for a dark background, and on this website it always stands on one, like the panel at the top of this page.

The line below the name is our slogan, Your Modern Workplace Partner. To us, a modern workplace is one that works entirely in the cloud. Ours does.

A partner is still there after the software goes live: we manage Valacia ourselves, and we can manage every application we build.
