Anvil Shield Holdings
Anvil brand system
Derived from the Anvil Shield Holdings logo: a solid blue anvil fused with a cyan circuit trace. The anvil stands for strength and security; the circuit for the digital platform. Anvil Blue does the work, Circuit Cyan marks the connection, Forge Navy is the ground.

Usage rules
- Anvil Blue is the one primary colour on a screen. Use it for the single main action.
- Circuit Cyan never carries text on white. It marks focus, the active nav rail and highlights.
- The yellow number plate is the only yellow in the product, because it depicts a real Kenyan rear plate.
- Radius is 6 px for chips, 10 px for buttons and inputs, 14 px for cards and tables. Borders are 1 px steel lines. Shadows appear only on the login card.
- Spacing steps are 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32 and 48 px.
- The dark theme lifts Anvil Blue to #4FA3E6 for contrast and keeps Circuit Cyan unchanged.
- Voice is plain and specific. Name the company behind every product, say what a button does, and write money as "KES 12,500".
