System
01 / Visual Standards 2023
Studio Pod

The corporate system. Matter sans, the pixel starburst mark, a muted palette of greys anchored by an off-black and softened by a single gold accent. Used for product surfaces, stationery, packaging, and anywhere the work needs to feel institutional.

01Full Logo

Our primary expression.

This version of the logo includes the icon between STUDIO and POD. It's the easiest to use and it immediately shows the full brand. This should be the most commonly used logo.

Studio Pod

Clear space — a minimum of the height of the wordmark on all sides. Never let another element encroach.

02Brand Mark

The standalone icon.

The mark can be used on its own — on packaging corners, favicons, merch, foil stamps. Minimum clear space is 50% of the mark's width.

03Incorrect Usage

The wordmark should always be consistent.

Six common mistakes to avoid. These rules apply to both the full logo and the standalone mark.

Do not stretch or distort the logo in any way.
Do not stretch, rotate, or flip the logo in any way.
Do not change the logo color to something outside of the brand colors.
Do not change the font, case, or weight of the logo.
Do not add a drop shadow or any other effects to the logo.
Do not outline the logo.
04Color System

Broad, yet focused.

Six colors — four greys, a gold accent, and an off-black. Designed to be used in many different ways on purpose. No additional colors outside this palette.

Lifestyle 2024
Studio Pod

The merch and culture system. Retro-nostalgic typography, a cast of alternate marks, and a bold primary palette. Used for apparel, event collateral, and anywhere the brand needs to feel like a crew — not a company.

Look Good, Feel Good.
Smiling is Nice.
Studio Pod Everywhere.
01Wordmark

Our primary expression.

The lifestyle wordmark is set in Oakley — a bubbly retro serif that carries the 1970s Americana energy of the merch line. Licensed WOFF2s self-hosted at /fonts/oakley/.

02Additional Marks

A cast of alternates.

Three families.

Oakley for headlines (chunky retro serif). Koozie Script for cursive flourishes. MPI Republic Gothic for condensed all-caps taglines. All three should appear together on badges and drops.
