The Clickwebstudio brand system

A studio,
in one click.

Clickwebstudio.
Primary lockup
Click-dot wordmark

The idea
One deliberate dot. The moment a cursor meets intent — the click that starts everything we make.
Personality
Editorial, precise, warm.
Accent
Signal Orange

Fraunces & Geist
(01) — Symbol

One symbol. Bold,
simple, unmistakable.

The Clickwebstudio mark is a solid Signal Orange disc cradling a cut-out cursor — the split-second of a click made permanent. High-contrast, geometric, legible at 16 pixels on a favicon and 16 feet on a van. One shape, one move, one moment.

Symbol first. The disc is the primary — big, bold, catchy. The wordmark pairs beside it in horizontal lockups, and stands alone where the mark has already set the scene (app screens, repeat appearances, contextual surfaces). Never recolor the cursor cut-out. Never rotate the shape.

Rules · always, never06 items
  1. 01
    The dot replaces the lowercase i.
    In the primary wordmark, the tittle is never drawn — the filled dot stands in. It is the logo.
  2. 02
    The dot is Signal Orange, or full ink.
    Never white, never outlined, never another hue. When the background is orange, the dot becomes ink.
  3. 03
    Italic period closes every primary lockup.
    The italic full stop reads as a seal. Only the period is italic — the rest of the word stays upright.
  4. 04
    Clear space equals one cap height.
    Keep a one-cap buffer on all sides. Never crop into the dot or period.
  5. 05
    Do not re-typeset the logo.
    It isn't Fraunces — it's our cut of Fraunces, with custom spacing. Always place the artwork file.
  6. 06
    Never tilt, outline, or gradient.
    The mark is quiet on purpose. Let the rest of the design do the performing.

One loud accent,
three quiet neighbors. No gradients.

Signal Orange is a punctuation mark, not a background. Use it on the dot, on a single CTA, on a hover state, on a caught-eye detail. Large orange fields are reserved for hero posters and campaign moments — never for full-page backgrounds in product UI.
(03) — Typography

Fraunces for feeling.
Geist for work. Mono for the receipts.

The italic is sacred. Fraunces italic is our emotional register — use it on single words, never whole sentences. When you do, color it Signal Orange. Think of it as a spoken emphasis, not a style.
(05) — Voice

How we sound
in a sentence. Plain, warm, exact.

Trait
We are
We aren't
Plainspoken
Say the thing. Short sentences. Real verbs.
Corporate throat-clearing. Leverage, solutions, unlock.
Warm
A person wrote this, for a person. We like our clients.
Overly familiar. Emojis in proposals. Fake enthusiasm.
Specific
Numbers, names, weeks. 38% lift. Week 6. Portland.
Best-in-class. Industry-leading. Any vague superlative.
Confident
We have opinions. We share them early.
Hedging. Just. Kinda. We think maybe.
Curious
We ask questions before we answer them.
Selling. Pitching. Pretending we already know.
Websites that actually work — for the people who use them.
