Mark 02

The Logo

Four approved lockups. Access the full package for print, digital, and merch-ready files.

Stacked: default use

Landscape: wide spaces

Cube: icon/avatar/supporting graphic

10BitWorks cube mark, isometric hexagonal cube, for light backgrounds

Wordmark: no-cube contexts

Do

Start from a file in the Logo Package. Never rebuild the mark from screenshots.
Keep clear space around the mark equal to the height of the cube. No text, graphics, or edges enter that zone.
Place the color mark on Blueprint Linen, Shop Dark, white, black, or a fully desaturated photo.
Prefer SVG for print. PNG at 2000px if the vendor cannot accept vector.
Write “and” where an ampersand might fit. Brand-wide rule.

Don't

Stretch, squash, skew, or rotate the mark. Its proportions are locked.
Recolor the cube, or add drop shadows, glows, bevels, or outlines.
Place the color mark on Dark Brass. The wordmark disappears.
Use the brass period anywhere other than with the slogan. Not in headlines. Not in body copy. Nowhere else.
Combine the wordmark and slogan on a single line. They are distinct lockups.
Use em dashes. Ever. Use commas, periods, or full sentences.

Voice 05

Brand Voice

10BitWorks speaks in two registers. Every piece of communication lives in one or the other.

Committed Steward

We take care of the space, the tools, and each other. We maintain what we build. We show up. We document. We pass it on.

Institutional. Accountable. Clear.

Cool Garage Friend

Got a project? Bring it in. We'll figure it out. There's probably a jig for that. If there isn't, we'll make one.

Warm. Specific. Never condescending.

The sweet spot: institutional confidence with workshop honesty.

Slogan 06

Come and Make It.

The period is part of the slogan. Do not use a brass-colored period anywhere else in 10BitWorks communications.

Boilerplate 07

Copy-Ready Org Descriptions

Use these word-for-word in grant applications, press kits, directory listings, and event programs.
