View LinkedInBelow is a concise archive of valuable media content, including brand logos, colors, and shareable videos and imagery. It also provides well-defined rules and guidelines for utilizing this media. In the upcoming months, we are excited to release a pre-packaged version, accompanied by the official brand guide.
For purposes of maintaining legibility of the ® mark, SimpleCitizen logos are offered in two different sizes for usage; regular and large.
The regular option should be used in any instance when the core logo – emblem and company name – appear together as less than 3in (7.6cm) in width at any dpi, less than 216px in width at 72dpi, less than 450px in width at 150dpi, or less than 900px in width at 300dpi.
Any instance of the core logo appearing more than 3.125in (7.9cm) in width at any dpi, more than 225px in width at 72dpi, more than 468px in width at 150dpi, or more than 937px in width at 300dpi, should utilize the large option.
For sizing instances that fall between the listed ranges, discretion is allowed for designers to choose which option is best for their needs. The ® mark has been strategically sized, according to the x-height, and appended to the right-hand median for best legibility in both sizing scenarios. The anatomy of these logos – the emblem, logotype, tag-line, and/or registered trademark placement – are not to be altered without expressed, written permission by SimpleCitizen.
The following colors are broken up into three categories – primary/secondary, neutral shades, and special use. The primary and secondary colors can be seen used throughout much of the marketing and interface materials; sometimes combined with one another for the use of gradients and accents. The neutral shades are often used for body text, borders, and subtle back drops. And lastly, the special use colors can mainly be seen used throughout the app and web interfaces for their specific purpose (listed below).

*Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
I can’t thank SimpleCitizen enough for all the support with my green card application. The process felt so much easier and less stressful because of their guidance. Huge shoutout to Allison from the SimpleCitizen team for always being patient and supportive, and to Diana, the attorney, for her professional help and advice. I truly appreciate everything they did to make this journey smoother. Highly recommend to anyone going through the immigration process!
SimpleCitizen is amazing! They are so efficient and make the whole process super easy to understand. Some of my friends used them too and had the same great experience. It’s such an affordable and reliable way to get your immigration documents done. I highly recommend them!
I got my green card in 9 months!!!
I'm so glad I decided to use SimpleCitizen, their system made the process of gathering information and documents much easier and stress free. All the steps were clear and easy to follow, they have images and videos to help you understand the process of the application, and their team is always available to answer your questions in a timely manner. I was trying to send off my application in a tight deadline and it was possible with the tools and the help of my case team. I got my receipt notices in less than 2 weeks. A friend of mine recommended them to me and will be recommending it to others as well, definitely worth the money.
Quiero darle las gracias a todos sus colaboradores de simplecitizen por ayudarnos tanto en esta travesía, hubieron momentos donde yo pensé que se iban a aburrir de nosotros por preguntar y molestar a cada rato y no fue así, ellos siempre estuvieron ahí con la mejor actitud y con toda la paciencia del mundo, si ellos tienen que explicártelo 20 veces lo mismo, 20 veces te lo explicaran de la mejor manera. Se los recomiendo a todos, confíen en ellos que hacen un excelente trabajo, gracias por todo su trabajo.
I’m incredibly grateful for the support I received from SimpleCitizen throughout my green card application process. From start to finish, everything was smooth, efficient, and truly hassle-free.
I started using their service in early March and was amazed at how quickly everything moved. After a helpful call with an attorney and a super quick assembly of all required documents, we were able to submit my application in just a few weeks. I received my EAD in mid-May and my green card by the end of July—much faster than I had expected!
What stood out the most was how carefully the team reviewed every detail, and how responsive and professional they were throughout. Every time I had a question or needed clarification, I got a timely and clear response. That kind of attentiveness made a huge difference and gave me a lot of peace of mind during the process.
I’m so glad I chose SimpleCitizen. It’s rare to find a service that delivers exactly what it promises with such care and speed. Highly recommend!
Working with SimpleCitizen was undoubtedly the right decision. They are as competent and efficient as they are kind and helpful. Alison, in particular, was fantastic. 5 stars and complete recommendation.
I’m extremely happy with the work Simple Citizen did on my marriage-based green card process! They were efficient, organized, and always available to answer my questions. My green card was approved in just 5 months, and I’m so grateful for all the support and attention I received during the entire process.
Without a doubt, I will be using Simple Citizen again in 2 years for my green card renewal and removal of conditions. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a clear, safe, and reliable service.
Thank you, Simple Citizen, for being a part of such an important milestone in my life!
Can't say enough good things about Simple Citizen. The process was incredibly easy, the lawyer assigned to the case Dianna was great and very knowledgeable in the process and easy to work with.
I could have possibly did it myself but the product would not have been nearly as nice, well put together, and I most likely would have made some errors along the way that Dianna was able to point out and I corrected. Plus, Simple Citizen makes the forms easy to follow and provides a ton of helpful info on what to include as far as supporting documents.
The entire team at Simple Citizen was great, provided fast and thoughtful service. I will recommend them to anyone needing help with their AOS.
Also I was up in the air when buying if I wanted the professional plan or enhanced. I went with professional and I fully believe it was worth the extra cost.
I’m incredibly grateful for the outstanding service I received throughout my green card journey. From the very first consultation to the final approval, the team was knowledgeable, attentive, and always quick to respond to my questions (and I had many!).
Their expertise in immigration procedures made a stressful process feel much more manageable and clear. What stood out most was their genuine care for my case — I never felt like "just another client."
Thanks to their professionalism and support, I was able to navigate each step with confidence and peace of mind. I highly recommend this business to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate immigration assistance.
Thank you again for everything
I’m so grateful for the support I received from SimpleCitizen throughout my immigration process. Their platform made everything much easier to understand, and the team was always kind, responsive, and detailed in their instructions. From organizing my documents to preparing everything for USCIS, they were with me every step of the way. I had friends recommending them to me, and now I can absolutely see why.
Special thanks to Emma, Sabrina, Sierra, McKay, Marieka Creek, and Lindsay. Each of you made this process feel so much more manageable and encouraging. I truly felt supported. I highly recommend SimpleCitizen to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable immigration service!
You can also follow them on Instagram at @simplecitizenUS for updates, tips, and resources!
They made the Green Card process so much easier for us. Their platform was user friendly, and the team was responsive any time we had a question or needed help uploading documents. They caught small mistakes we wouldn’t have noticed and kept everything on track. We felt supported from start to finish. Highly recommend them if you want to save time and avoid stress!!!!!!!!
THEY ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST!
As someone who absolutely hates paperwork, I used to get headaches just looking at piles of forms. But Simple Citizen made everything so clear and straightforward - their forms are incredibly user-friendly and much easier to fill out.
What really impressed me was their staff's dedication. They patiently answered all my questions, and even months after submitting my materials, they were still diligently responding to all my interview-related inquiries. I genuinely recommend giving them a try!
