# Business cards, the brief and the examples

The brief for RiskMandate's Web Summit business cards, and every current example with its print files, in one place for a person or an agent to review. Three audience cards (Executives, GRC, Security), no names, 200 each. The stickers have their own page.

Site version: v0.2.1825

**For a reviewer, human or agent.** Below are the brief as it stands and every current design, with direct links to the print files. Everything is at `https://web-summit.sgit.ai/`; this page's plain-text twin is [index.md](index.md). Made by designer@web-summit.indi, 4 November 2026. The full history and the earlier rounds are on [the cards page](../index.html).

## The brief {#brief}

**What we are making:** business cards and laptop stickers for the RiskMandate team at Web Summit Lisbon, 9 to 12 November 2026. Our stand day is Thursday 12 November, between Booths A1-30.

**The cards: three, one per audience, no names** (Indi, 4 November). About 200 of each. The audience is never printed: each card is colour-coded, so the team knows which one to hand over.

| Card | Colour code | Main line (much bigger) | Tagline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Executives | container black #161615 (C0 M0 Y5 K91) | Do you know what your agents are doing? | Clarity. Control. Confidence. |
| GRC: governance, risk and compliance | RiskMandate green #1A7F5A (C80 M0 Y29 K50) | Know their reach. Define their mandate. Control the gap. | Govern AI. Grow with Confidence. |
| Security professionals | RiskMandate blue #1D4ED8 (C87 M64 Y0 K15) | Your AI has access. Does it have permission? | AI Agents. Your Rules. |

**Every card carries:**
- **Front:** the main line and tagline; RISK MANDATE in words; "WEB SUMMIT EDITION", small.
- **Back:**
  - the RiskMandate seal and name;
  - what RiskMandate does: "Agent Behaviour Policies: what one agent can reach, what you authorised it to do, and the gap between the two" (the brand's own line);
  - Web Summit Lisbon, Thursday 12 November, "Meet us between Booths A1-30";
  - the QR to the team page, https://web-summit.sgit.ai/meet/, with that URL printed beside it.

**Rules:**
- **Hierarchy:** the main line first and much bigger than the tagline; the QR easy to find.
- **No names and no contact details:** no phone, email, address or handles. The QR and the URL are the contact.
- **RiskMandate only:** no sponsor, no other brand. Web Summit is named in plain text, never with its logo (Dinis, 4 November).
- **The brand ([riskmandate.ai/brand](https://riskmandate.ai/brand)):**
  - the mark is the RM seal (green #1A7F5A, container #161615), used as supplied, never redrawn, recoloured, stretched or shadowed;
  - the knockout cut on dark surfaces only;
  - half the mark's width clear on every side;
  - never in full colour on a coloured field;
  - the lighter green #22C55E on dark only; gold #B45309 sparingly; red very sparingly.
- **Type:** Barlow Condensed (the shirts' voice) with Geist (the face of the brand's print files) and JetBrains Mono for labels. Every letter is outlined in the print files.
- **Readability:** text at 7 pt or larger; every text and background pair passes WCAG AA contrast.

**Print specs:**

| | |
|---|---|
| Trim | 85 x 55 mm, landscape |
| Bleed | 3 mm on every edge: each file is 91 x 61 mm, `viewBox="0 0 91 61"` |
| Safe zone | text, seal and QR at least 4 mm inside the trim |
| Stock | 350 g/m2 or heavier, matt, both sides printed, square corners, no finishes |
| QR | black on its own white panel with its 4-module quiet zone, the symbol 24 mm, never recoloured or regenerated |
| Colour | CMYK for print (the files give hex; the CMYK values above are a reference conversion; the printer proofs) |

**The stickers** (Dinis, relayed by Indi, 4 November): one corporate sticker with the logo and its text; infographics that read at a glance; one funny cartoon. All in the brand's colours and rules. Die-cut vinyl, matt, with 2 mm bleed past the cut and the cut on its own magenta CutContour layer. Text stays at least 2.5 mm inside the cut.

## The stickers {#stickers}

The stickers have their own page, with their brief and every sticker: [/stickers/](../../stickers/index.html), and the bolder set at [/stickers/creative/](../../stickers/creative/index.html).

## How they were checked {#checked}

**Cards** (`team/designer/print/concepts-rm/check-concepts.py`: 6 sides, OK):
- **Size:** 91 x 61 mm; no live text; no raster images.
- **Safe zone and overlaps:** everything 4 mm inside the trim, measured in a browser; nothing overlaps.
- **The seal:** the supplied artwork, element for element, with its clear space free of text and of the code colour.
- **The QR:** the team file, byte for byte, 24 mm, decoding to https://web-summit.sgit.ai/meet/ at 600 dpi.
- **Content:** no person's name; each main line and tagline word for word, with the main line at least 2.5 times the tagline.
- **Text:** 7 pt minimum; AA contrast.

**Stickers** (`team/designer/print/stickers/make-stickers.py`): text 2.5 mm inside the cut; 7 pt minimum; AA contrast; nothing in the seal's clear space.

**The site's gate:** OK.

**Sources:**
- The main lines and taglines are the T1, T8 and T9 shirt fronts (`team/designer/print/final.json`).
- "Agent Behaviour Policies: …" is the brand page's boilerplate.
- The booths and "Web Summit Edition" are Indi's words (4 November).
- The sticker lines come from `content/design.md` and the cards.

## Open, before print {#open}

- **Stickers:** how many of each, and which printer (Silvio's print order).
- **Cards:** 3 x 200 replaces the 7 x 100 named cards in [the print order](../../print-order/index.html); the order is Silvio's to change.
- **Sign-off:** the cards replace C1, so they are signed off again (WS-113).
- **The meet pages** every QR lands on still say only "find us at our stand on Thursday 12 November", without the booths (WS-146 lists other fixes there).

**For a reviewing agent:** please report problems with a specific file and a specific place on it (for example "GRC back: the URL is 0.5 mm from the QR panel"), and say whether each is a print risk, a brand-rule breach, or a matter of taste. The generators are in the repository at `team/designer/print/concepts-rm/make-round4.py` and `team/designer/print/stickers/make-stickers.py`.
