The Aesthetic

BOLD. FLAT.
UNMISTAKABLY ATL.

The brand's visual vocabulary draws from Atlanta's cultural iconography — peaches, dogwoods, the skyline, MARTA, civil rights history — rendered in bold flat color blocks with high-contrast outlines. Reference the cart art below for tone, palette saturation, and compositional energy.

Brand Discipline

RULES OF THE ROAD.

Brand standards are only as strong as the people enforcing them. When in doubt, default to Navy on Off-White — and ask before introducing anything new.

Always
  • Pair Gagalin headlines with generous whitespace
  • Anchor every layout with ATL Navy
  • Treat Red, Teal, Purple, and Gold as accents — not co-equals
  • Maintain clear space around the wordmark equal to the cap-height of "A"
Never
  • Stretch, rotate, or recolor the wordmark
  • Set Gagalin in long passages of body text
  • Place Red text on Navy or Purple backgrounds
  • Use more than three brand colors in a single composition
When In Doubt
  • Default to Navy on Off-White (#F7F4EF)
  • Lead with the cart art aesthetic — bold, flat, outlined
  • Match the look and feel of welcometoatlexperience.com
  • Ask before introducing a new color, font, or motif
