Brand guide

Keep the mark sharp. Keep the signal recognizable.

The PNS identity is built from the hooded penguin mark, deep-space surfaces and a cyan-to-purple-to-orange nebula spectrum. This guide keeps those pieces consistent without turning the brand into a prison.

Logo system

The hooded penguin is the anchor.

Use the official master or supplied derivatives. Do not redraw the mark from memory, stretch it or bury it under effects that destroy the silhouette.

PNS logo on dark background
PreferredDark / deep-space surface

The logo was built for a dark environment where the cyan, purple and orange edge light can breathe.

Keep roughly one “P” of breathing room around the visible mark whenever the layout allows it.

Do / don't

Flexible brand. Not a free-for-all.

The brand can live across games, software, publishing and media while still looking like the same studio.

DO

Use official source assets

Start with the master PNG or provided WebP derivatives so the logo stays crisp.

DO

Preserve the aspect ratio

Scale proportionally. The silhouette and face depend on the original geometry.

DO

Let divisions borrow accent colors

Games can lean warmer, software cooler, publishing more purple and media more magenta while staying inside the PNS spectrum.

DON'T

Stretch, squash or rotate it

The penguin does not need to look like it survived a bad printer driver.

DON'T

Put noisy artwork behind the face

If the background competes with the mark, add a dark surface, gradient or enough separation to restore the silhouette.

DON'T

Recolor the entire mark arbitrarily

The cyan / blue and orange / purple split is part of the identity, not an optional filter preset.

Color system

Color comes from the nebula.

Deep Space carries the interface. Bright colors are signals, not wallpaper. Use them with enough restraint that they still mean something.

Voice

Technically capable.
Human enough to admit when something is weird.

Clear before clever. Explain what the project does before trying to sound impressive.

Specific before vague. “Trucking company simulation beginning in 1972” beats “next-generation immersive experience.”

Confident without corporate fog. PNS can have personality without replacing useful information with slogans.

Honest about maturity. Labs are labs. Experiments are experiments. Future work does not become a product because a marketing page says so.

Implementation

Use the same source everywhere.

The public brand data and CSS tokens make it easier for PNS sites, project pages and partner materials to share the same colors and assets without copying values by hand.
