Three routes ready
Combination, logotype, and logomark. One will be selected for launch.
00 · Progress review
This deck summarizes the brand direction and presents three logo routes. Colour and typography are recommended; the logo is the open decision.
Combination, logotype, and logomark. One will be selected for launch.
Near-black, off-white, and one acid accent. Pending final sign-off.
Industrial display type with a clear, technical body face.
Review outcome: confirm the colour and type direction, then choose one of the three logo routes. The selected logo will move to final vector refinement and application mockups.
00 · Context
ODDWARE is an e-commerce concept for experimental gadgets, unusual devices, and functional objects that are hard to find in mainstream electronics stores.
Sell gadgets with unconventional design and real function. Curate, explain, and support the product — do not behave like a generic marketplace.
Tech enthusiasts, makers and DIY buyers, developers and digital creators, and collectors who want products with a point of view.
Industrial calm. Simple, elegant, modern. Near-black, off-white, one acid accent, and product photography that shows the details.
Scope of this review: logo system, colour, and typography. Storefront, packaging, and social applications follow after the logo decision.
01 · Logo
All three options share the same modular DNA. They differ in how much of the brand they carry: the full lockup, the wordmark, or the icon.
The complete signature. Mark, wordmark, and icon in one asset.
A name-led route. Quiet, wide, and highly scalable.
An icon-first route. Strongest at small sizes and on packaging.
How to read this section: each option is presented as a standalone direction. One will be selected; the others remain references, not a combined system.
01 · Option 01
Combination · mark + wordmark
A rounded modular mark paired with a wide, custom uppercase wordmark. The mark acts as the icon; the wordmark carries the name.
It is the only route that delivers a complete brand signature in one asset. The mark is distinctive at small sizes, and the wordmark explains the name without extra copy.
Storefront header, packaging, invoices, social profiles, and the app icon.
The wordmark needs generous space. The mark is bold and can dominate small UI. The name still needs a trademark and domain check.
You want a launch-ready identity that works across e-commerce and packaging without commissioning another asset.
Status: ready for review · final vector polish pending
01 · Option 02
Logotype · wordmark only
A wide uppercase wordmark with a modular, technical rhythm. There is no separate mark; the wordmark is the identity.
It is quiet, confident, and highly scalable. The name feels more abstract and design-led, and the wordmark works well in editorial layouts and large-format graphics.
A name-led brand, apparel, editorial, and environments where the wordmark is enough.
It needs a separate icon for favicon and app use. The name is less descriptive than ODDWARE, and it is not a complete lockup yet.
You prefer a name-led identity and are comfortable commissioning a companion icon.
Status: concept ready · companion icon needed
01 · Option 03
Logomark · icon only
A bold rounded-square mark with two cutouts. There is no wordmark; the mark is designed to work as a compact signature.
It is the strongest route at small sizes. It reads instantly as an app icon, favicon, packaging stamp, or social avatar, and it holds up in one colour.
An icon-first brand, packaging seals, merchandise, and digital product icons.
It does not explain the brand on its own. It needs a wordmark for the storefront and formal documents, and it is less flexible for long-form communication.
You want an icon-first identity and will pair it with a separate wordmark.

01 · Decision
The options are not equal in scope. Option 01 is a complete system; Option 02 is a name-led wordmark; Option 03 is an icon that needs a wordmark partner.
| Criteria | 01 · ODDWARE | 02 · MODULR | 03 · Modular mark |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brand clarity | High | Medium | Low alone |
| Wordmark | Built in | Built in | Needs pairing |
| Icon / favicon | Built in | Needs icon | Built in |
| Packaging | Strong | Strong | Stamp only |
| Name flexibility | Medium | High | Low |
| Production effort | Medium | Low | Low |
Option 01 is the safest launch choice: it is the only complete system and it fits the storefront and packaging use case. Option 02 is the strongest name-led alternative. Option 03 should become the icon system if the name changes.
Decision needed: choose 01, 02, or 03.
01 · Construction
Clear space & minimum size
Sizes & app icon

The mark sits inside a 6×6 area of an 8×8 grid. In the app icon it occupies 56–62% of the tile. If Option 02 is selected, a companion icon will be built on the same grid.
01 · In context
The logo family is prepared for paper, ink, and acid fields. Use the supplied versions; do not recolour the mark by hand.
Primary on dark
Default lockup
App icon / stamp
Favicon / avatar
Example shown with Option 01. The modular mark remains the icon in all three routes.
01 · Research
Nine new references replace the earlier set. The pattern is consistent: calm wordmarks, simple marks, one accent, and generous negative space.









02 · Colour
The recommended palette is near-black, off-white, and one acid accent. Acid is reserved for actions, badges, focus, and logo details — never body text.
Status: recommended for sign-off. Palette B and C remain alternatives, not part of the core system.
02 · Scale & contrast
The 10–100 scale is used for hover, badge tints, borders, and illustration. BASE sits at 50%; tints move toward Paper, shades toward Ink.
03 · Typography
Oxanium gives headlines an industrial, technical voice. IBM Plex Sans keeps product specs, prices, and checkout copy clear.
One knob, three functions, no screen. Aluminium case, clickable encoder, and a replaceable USB-C cable.
Status: recommended for sign-off. Two families only; no third decorative face.
03 · Type scale
Use this scale for headlines, product names, body, prices, and labels. Do not introduce sizes outside the system.
Body max 68 characters per line. Prices and specs use tabular-nums. No more than three headline sizes per screen.
03 · Type in use
A quick application test: product name in Oxanium, specs and price in IBM Plex Sans with tabular numerals, Acid reserved for the badge and focus states.
