    A cylinder that fits where a conventional elevator cannot.

The official palette from the PVE Branding Guide, with CMYK for print. Note that vacuumelevators.com currently renders a different red (#AC1403) and a different dark (#181B25) — the site has drifted from the guide. These values are the canonical ones.

Typeface

  • Cera Pro

    Thin, Light, Regular, Medium, Bold, Black

    The brand typeface. Used for every level of the type scale, in both digital and print.

    Licensed commercial typeface. Do NOT redistribute the .woff/.woff2 files in this kit; publishers must license it themselves.

Icon style

PVE icons use friendly, rounded lines. Illustrations may carry detail but must stay legible at size, and front-facing angles are preferred.

Cabin finishes

  • White
  • Light Gray
  • Dark Gray
  • Taupe

Product finish options for the elevator cabin — not the brand palette. Hex values here are visual approximations for layout only; the authoritative reference is the PVE Color Chart PDF.

Do

  • Use the Complete — Horizontal lockup wherever space allows; fall back to the short versions only when it will not fit.
  • Use the Negative treatment on dark grounds and Color — Red on light ones.
  • Refer to the company as "Pneumatic Vacuum Elevators" on first mention, "PVE" thereafter.
  • Use "Assembled in the United States" when describing manufacturing origin.
  • Set type in Cera Pro where the typeface is licensed and available.

Don't

  • Don't stretch, rotate, recolour or add effects to the logo.
  • Don't place the logo on a busy photograph without a solid backing shape.
  • Don't write "Made in USA" or "Manufactured in USA" as a substitute for "Assembled in the United States".
  • Don't describe PVE elevators as ADA compliant.
  • Don't redistribute the Cera Pro font files.
  • Don't recreate a product logo by hand — the model number carries a defined 18% kerning space.

Owner voices

What customers say

Published testimonials from PVE's own properties, reproduced verbatim.
  • I thoroughly enjoy riding in my PVE elevator as its extremely comfortable… I would unhesitatingly, recommend it to people who are confined to a wheelchair like myself, to me it's that good and reliable!

    Tamara Gordon

    vacuumelevators.com

  • My house was built in 1925 and it was hard to get something to fit in with the décor of my home, but the PVE fit in perfectly. I am thrilled with the design, engineering, and reliability of the elevator by PVE.

    Stan Barth

    vacuumelevators.com

  • Highly recommend. Working with PVE was such an incredible experience! From our very first meeting they were so professional, time efficient & helpful. Couldn't be happier. Our elevator is heaven sent. Thank you PVE & team.
