Stadyard’s iconic logo, shaped like a bow, visually represents the backbone of boat construction. The custom typography complements the logo, creating a cohesive brand identity. The logo, whether in outline or filled form, captures the structural essence of a vessel’s construction. The colour palette, featuring Indigo Black, Indigo Gray, and Silver, drawn from the shipyard’s palette, is accentuated with a warmer salmon pink, infusing a touch of warmth alongside skin tones in photography. The picture mark draws inspiration from ship bows, structural ribs, and breaking waves, symbolizing progress and determination.
The logotype mirrors the structural build-up of the picture mark, constructed like building blocks to form an iconic wordmark. The chosen font, Repro, is a friendly and flexible sans serif inspired by signage and digital operating systems. It seamlessly merges clean design with intricate font engineering. The layout system adopts a structural square pattern, balancing structure and agility.
The image style focuses on the duality of a human-centric and product-oriented approach. The warm and pleasant grading enhances the visual narrative, bringing out the essence of craftsmanship and maritime heritage.
