Brand Identity

Primary Logo

This is our primary logo. Use it 99% of the time to represent the brand.

Secondary Logo

This logo should only be used in contexts where the primary logo will not work. When the presentation is square or circular the primary logo can appear too small. For example, this version is what we tend to use as our social media avatar.

Note: The chat bubble is slightly thinner on the secondary logo.

Typography

Scale

Not a true typographic scale. This is combination the Tachyons scale, the styleguide from the designer, and what actually got used on the web.

Font Families

We have two primary fonts: Futura and Proxima Nova. Both are served by Adobe Typekit on the web.

Futura

Primarily used as a headline font in all uppercase with a bit of tracking. It breaks down when headlines get long — use your judgement.

We are the Mods weights 600 semibold

Paragraph Styles

Paragraphs are set it Proxima Nova at 16px (font-base). Initial line height was 2 (tw: leading-loose), but we've been scaling that down to a more readable 1.5 (leading-normal). Initial design didn't settle on a specific measure. Newer pages try to keep the line length at a reasonable measure.

Line height 2 (leading-loose)
