| Description of Mark | The mark consists of The Obim Art Exchange logo features the word “OBIM” in a bold, uppercase serif font, rendered in Deep Earth Gold (#B6862C), symbolising prestige, cultural value, and legacy. The letter “O” contains a vertically placed cowrie shell motif—an oblong, symmetrical form with central notching—representing wealth and ancestral heritage. A graceful arched line, also in Deep Earth Gold, extends above the wordmark, centred over “OBIM” to convey protection and global reach. Beneath the primary name, the phrase “ART EXCHANGE” appears in clean uppercase lettering, followed by the tagline “HOME OF AFRICAN ARTISTORY,” both centered and sized smaller for balance. The logo may be displayed on a transparent background or on a Matte Black or Charcoal base (#1E1E1E) for contrast and modern elegance. In some versions, Midnight Indigo (#1A1A40) is used for the body text to create subtle tonal depth, while Sand Ivory (#FAF3DD) may be used sparingly as a highlight to provide visual balance. |
