TailorMaide / Brand

Brand Guidelines

One look, everywhere — the site, press photos, socials and print. This is the system behind the TailorMaide identity: what we lead with, how the logo behaves, the colors and type, and the handful of rules that keep it all consistent.

01 Positioning & voice

Big country-rock. None of the hassle.

TailorMaide is a seven-piece Texas country-rock band first — a dual male & female lead show with Carrie / Luke Combs / P!nk crossover energy. The his-and-hers leads are the selling point: they cover both the Luke Combs and the Carrie / P!nk sides of the setlist. The self-mixed, self-contained sound is the value-add that closes bookers — sell the date with the band and the show, then seal it with the turnkey production.

Lead with

The band and the show — dual leads, seven pieces, a setlist that reads the floor.

Seal with

Turnkey production — full in-ear monitors, own the room, zero extra crew to manage.

Tone

Confident, plain-spoken, Texas-warm. Short lines. No hype words, no jargon.

For fans of Carrie Underwood · Luke Combs · P!nk · Miranda Lambert · Eric Church.

02 Logo & wordmark

Logo mark

The ornate mark leads the brand. It carries no fixed background and adapts to light and dark — ink on light, cream on dark. Toggle the theme (top right) and it flips with the page.

Keep clear space around the mark ≥ the cap-height of the “M”. Don't add a fixed color panel, distort, or rotate it. Over a photo or busy field, set it on a solid ink or cream block first.

Brand colorway — dual-lead

The on-brand color cut: Signal Blue letters with a Hot Pink drop-shadow — the male & female dual-lead pairing the palette comes from. Lead with this for hero and feature moments; keep the neutral mark for small UI.

Wordmark

A modern two-tone wordmark set in Unbounded Bold — Tailor in the text color, Maide in blue ink. A support to the logo, for small UI and inline body use. Blue ink #0f6dbf on light, #5cb8ff on dark.

Do

  • Lead with the logo mark — it flips ink-on-light / cream-on-dark with the page.
  • Keep the wordmark two-tone where it supports the logo: Tailor in text color, Maide in blue ink.
  • Use hairline borders, not drop shadows, to separate surfaces.
  • Put dark text on accent fills — never white text on blue or pink.
  • Reserve pink as a highlight. Blue carries the UI; pink punctuates it.
  • Give photography the poster / film-grain treatment; keep the UI clean around it.

Don't

  • Don't call the band "female-fronted" — it's a dual male & female lead.
  • Don't let the mixing-console / fader / VU-meter vocabulary spread past the Rider and stage plots.
  • Don't put the logo on a fixed color panel — it's transparent and adapts to the background.
  • Don't add effects (glow, bevel, outline) or redraw the letterforms.
  • Don't use white text or fills on Signal Blue or Hot Pink.
  • Don't stretch, rotate, or crop the logo or wordmark.
03 Color palette

Core colors

Four fixed brand colors. Their hex values never change — only their role flips between light and dark (cream and black trade places as background and text).

Aa

Stage Black

#121212

Text on light · background on dark

Aa

House Cream

#f5f0e8

Background on light · text on dark

Aa

Signal Blue

#39a9ff

Primary accent — the country-strong lead

Aa

Hot Pink

#ff5fb2

Secondary accent — used sparingly

Ink variants (accessible text)

Signal Blue and Hot Pink are vivid — great as fills, too light as small text. These darker "ink" versions are what to use for links and accent text so contrast stays readable.

Blue ink (light)

#0f6dbf

Signal Blue as readable text on cream

Blue ink (dark)

#5cb8ff

Signal Blue as text on black

Pink ink (light)

#c01f78

Hot Pink as readable text on cream

Pink ink (dark)

#ff85c6

Hot Pink as text on black

Frame tokens (these flip live)

The surfaces, borders and text weights are driven by CSS variables that swap with the theme. Toggle light / dark up top and watch these swatches change — that's the system working.

Body — Barlow Paragraphs and everything else

A male- and female-fronted Texas country-rock show that brings its own sound — full in-ear monitors, its own console, and 100+ songs across country, rock, R&B and pop, read to the floor so the night keeps moving.

05 Motifs & texture

Console grid

A faint blueprint / mixing-desk grid for background sections. Ties in the "run our own room" motif — but keep it and the fader / VU-meter vocabulary contained to the Rider and stage plots, where it reads as proof, not pose.

Accent fader bar

Cards can carry a thin accent bar down one edge (echoing the stage-plot channel strips). Blue is the default; pink marks the rare emphasis. Hairline borders separate everything — no drop shadows.
