About M&I Core
M&I is a global leader in curating high-end networking events that connect premium travel suppliers with handpicked buyers from around the world. Built on a foundation of meaningful relationships, business innovation, and unforgettable experiences, M&I exists to transform how the travel industry connects - blending strategy with soul, and commerce with creativity.
As the core brand in our portfolio, M&I represents the essence of what we do: creating powerful human connections through carefully crafted event formats. Whether it’s an intimate meeting or a large-scale showcase, the M&I identity serves as a benchmark for professionalism, adaptability, and lasting impact. This section outlines the fundamental brand elements that define M&I, ensuring consistency and clarity across all touchpoints.
M&I logo
The M&I logotype is a custom adaptation of our brand typeface and features a two-colour split, symbolising the connections between buyers and suppliers coming together.
There are two approved versions of the logo:
- One for placement on light backgrounds
- One for placement on dark backgrounds
The logo should never be used in a single colour, except in the special case of LUXE by M&I, where single-colour usage is permitted.
The logotype is presented in lowercase to convey a friendly and open tone, while the written form of M&I should always appear in uppercase in text.

Event product lockups
Our event product lockups are carefully designed with precise ratios and spacing to maintain visual harmony and brand consistency.

Colours
Our primary colour palette has been designed to balance professionalism with energy, giving the M&I brand a distinctive yet refined presence. It consists of:
Primary colour palette
RAVEN
HEX 121A36
POWDER
HEX F8F8F8
CORAL
HEX EB5C56
COBALT
HEX 528DE5
The palette is applied in a conservative and deliberate way. Raven and Powder serve as the foundation, most often used for backgrounds and core layouts. Coral functions as our primary accent colour, bringing focus and emphasis to key elements. Cobalt is used as a secondary accent, adding vibrancy and depth to the brand.
Both Coral and Cobalt are applied sparingly, reserved for subtle accents and pops of colour that inject energy and life into our identity without overwhelming the core brand look and feel.
Incorrect colour usage
Don’t use colours together that cause difficulty visually – Coral and Cobalt should be used as accent colours on Raven or Powder
Don’t mix and match the vibrant colours – keep colour options on a page within the same family of colours
Don’t use text in colour unless functionally agreed on with Design Team for links and key information

Typography
We utilise Circular Book for all content, employing a single weight to achieve a consistently premium appearance.
When there is no clear hierarchy between H1 and body text, the title may use Circular medium, but use sparingly.

Typography hierachy
Our typography system is designed to bring clarity, consistency, and rhythm to all M&I communications. Each level of the hierarchy plays a specific role – from bold, expressive headlines that capture attention, to functional subheadings that provide structure, to body copy that delivers our messages with precision and ease. By following this system, we create content that is both visually harmonious and effortless to navigate, guiding readers through every interaction with the M&I brand.
Note: The font sizes listed below are based on our web copy standards. These values should be treated as a guide rather than absolute rules. Sizes may need to be adapted depending on the application or medium. When adjusting, maintain proportional relationships by following a typographic scale based on the Golden Ratio (≈1.618) to preserve consistency and hierarchy across headlines, statements, and body copy.
