The Patchbay logo, glyph, colours and type. Use the files as they are: white on dark, black on light.

The glyph is a jack with a patch cable leaving it. The wordmark is patchbay in lowercase; in running text the name is written Patchbay.

Usage#

  • White on dark backgrounds, black on light ones. No other colours, gradients, outlines, shadows or effects.
  • Keep clear space around the logo of at least half the glyph’s height, and don’t stretch or rotate it.
  • Smallest sizes: the glyph at 16 px, the full logo at 20 px tall.
  • Use the app icon where a square avatar is needed, and the logo everywhere else.
  • Don’t combine the glyph with other marks or use it for another product.

Colours#

The interface is monochrome. Colour comes only from content: each module has one cable colour, used for its cable, its LEDs and its dot, and nowhere else.
