Our Brand
Philosophy

Seated at the intersection of
advertising and technology,
Index Exchange was built to
make things simple. Our brand
mirrors the company’s founding
pillars of authenticity, intention,
sophistication, and transparency.
Like our technology solutions, the
Index Exchange brand provides a
personalized and approachable
user experience. We’re the Ad
Exchange that media companies
and Marketers trust.

Our Logo

Also known as the squares, our logo
should be the primary presentation
of our brand. Built with internal
harmony, the squares have a
symmetrical relationship between
them that signifies growth, motion,
and progress. The squares should
be used wherever possible, however,
when branding in markets where we
are less known, the expanded logo
should be used.

Expanded Logo

Our full text logo is impactful, and
is specifically used when we want to
make a statement in international
markets or at engagements where
we are less known. It is to be used
sparingly and when the squares do
not suffice.

Color Palette

Our choice of colors, like our logo,
is intended to express our most
cherished ideals. While the squares
do this through their structure
and order, our colors set the
tone of our identity through the
emotional response they elicit in
our audience.
