Plantosphere Journal Network
Brand Guidelines & Slide System
The visual identity, imprint architecture, and presentation standards governing Plantosphere Private Limited’s multidisciplinary scholarly journals. Powered by Litora’s editorial design philosophy.
The Multi-Journal Imprint Model
Following the global standard established by premier academic publishers like Springer Nature (BMC) and Elsevier (Cell Press), our governance strictly separates legal ownership from academic editorial divisions.
Parent Legal Entity
The registered legal corporation holding statutory ownership, bank accounts, official ISSN allocations, Crossref DOI subscriptions, and Scopus/DOAJ institutional accreditation.
Publishing Division
The overarching academic ecosystem under which all peer-reviewed journals, editorial boards, and conference proceedings operate. Managing editors lead under this master brand.
Digital Experience & Design
The distraction-free digital publishing infrastructure, web portal, mobile app reading ecosystem, and archival design language that powers all Plantosphere publications.
The Moonlight Palette
Replacing stark blinding white with tactile archival paper warmth. Designed to reduce eye fatigue across multi-hour peer review readings and executive conference presentations.
Dual Logo Architecture
A clear visual hierarchy allowing the corporate publisher mark and individual journal crests to co-exist without brand conflict.
1. Master Corporate Logo
Represents the parent legal entity Plantosphere Private Limited. Mandatory on all legal publisher filings, master presentation title covers, and ISSN indexing documentation.
- Minimum clear space equal to the height of letter 'P' on all 4 sides.
- Minimum digital width: 140px. Print minimum: 40mm.
2. Specific Journal Emblem / Crest
Individual journals (e.g. Plantosphere Journal of Phytology) carry unique discipline-specific circular emblems. Used during journal webinars, calls for papers, and section decks.
- Placed in top-right slide slots on content slides.
- Always accompanied by the parent endorsement line on footers.
Font Hierarchy & Pairing
A deliberate pairing of an archival serif for authority with an ultra-clean sans-serif for reading endurance.
Playfair Display
Used for display titles, article headlines, slide titles, and journal covers. Conveys literary gravitas and historical stature.
Inter
Used for body narrative, peer review abstracts, presentation bullet points, and data tables. Engineered for maximum screen clarity.
| Role | Typeface | Size / Weight | Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| Display Headline (H1) | Playfair Display | 40px / Bold | Slide cover titles, journal issue covers, annual reports. |
| Section Header (H2) | Playfair Display | 28px / Bold | Presentation slide headers, research article sections. |
| Body Narrative | Inter | 16px / Regular | Editorial prose, abstract descriptions, long-form commentary. |
| Slide Bullet Items | Inter | 14px / Medium | Key presentation takeaways paired with Royal Purple (●) discs. |

Approved practices and strictly prohibited execution rules to protect institutional prestige.
