Below 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.
Downloadable Logo Variations
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.

Brand Colors
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).

Janice KwokJuly 2026
I’ve been using SimpleCitizen since my conditional green card application, then removal of conditions, and now my citizenship application. They have been professional, fast, and incredibly helpful throughout my entire immigration journey.
What impressed me most is their amazing customer service — they often replied to my emails within minutes during office hours and always helped me update my status or answer questions without any hassle. Immigration can be stressful, but SimpleCitizen has made the process so much smoother. Highly recommend!
Danyi XiongJune 2026
I had a great experience with SimpleCitizen. The package options are affordable. The website is user friendly and the consultants and attorneys are professional and always willing to help, which have made the entire process stress-free. A big shoutout to Sierra, Diana, Shelby and all others at SimpleCitizen who have helped me during the process. I highly recommend their services!
Tatiana Osorio MontoyaJune 2026
Mi experiencia con SimpleCitizen ha sido MUY MUY buena, utilice la plataforma cuando me casé para aplicar a la greencard y ahora para remover las condiciones de la greencard. Siempre han sido demasiado amables y me han ayudado con cada una de las preguntas. Incluso tuve un inconveniente con el tiempo para aplicar al formulario y ellos hicieron todo lo posible por ayudarme y priorizar mi caso. Los recomiendo mil por ciento.
John SchneppJune 2026
The website was super easy to navigate and the staff were all wonderful ! They were more than happy to answer all our questions and overall were a huge help ! Can't recommend them enough !
Juan CidJune 2026
I went through three processes—Adjustment of Status, Removal of Conditions, and Citizenship—and all were successful! Simple Citizen was a fantastic guide; if something wasn't quite right, they would notify you and help you fix it. I’ve recommended it to several friends, and it worked wonders for them, too! Many thanks for all the support.
Roberto GamaJune 2026
This made the initial process super simple, they helped me compile all the evidence I needed and the complete application with forms and evidence arrived right at my door ready to be shipped to USCIS, the attention is super personalized and quick, whenever I had a question, it never took more than a few hours to respond, I’d use it again and I’d totally recommend it to anyone interested in applying to a GreenCard!
Luis LópezMay 2026
Excelente servicio desde el primer contacto. La plataforma es muy detallada y también facilita de navegar.
El equipo es muy eficiente para la resolución de preguntas y problemas.
En resumen, no me cansaría de recomendarlos!

Darlyn Serrano RodriguezApr. 2026
I’m so glad I stumbled upon Simple Citizen. They were the biggest help I could have ever had for my marriage based green card. I will definitely be using Simple Citizen in the future for anything else. I got my interview notice 3 MONTHS after filing and just got approved today! You guys are the best! THANKS SIMPLE CITIZEN!!!!!!
zameer dhananiMar. 2026
A great solid company to work with. I didn't have any issues paperwork-wise with my case, and was approved after interview! I recommend getting the package with the attorney consultations as that was very valuable! Thank you Simple Citizen :D
Vinayak SharmaMar. 2026
Easiest and Most reliable, one of the best Helping websites to file your application. I would highly recommend it and can say that it will for a fact that choosing simple citizen was one of the best decision I’ve ever made.
Jarod MontoyaMar. 2026
I am so happy we chose Simple Citizen to help us with our green card process. My wife and I were trying to navigate the forms alone but it was very time consuming and we were afraid of any mistakes. Simple Citizen helped us in the best way possible and it was always reassuring knowing we had a team of people supporting us during this process. 100% recommended
