Misty Japanese cedar forest at dawn
Brand & Press

The mark, the words,
and the rules they live by.

Everything press, partners, and collaborators need to represent Rin Elements with care. Download the mark, sample the palette, and read the guidelines before publishing.

The Mark

Two triangles. One system.

The mark stacks two triangular silhouettes — pine forms, tent forms, mountain forms — to signal an adaptable system: objects designed to layer, pack, and pair. The lower form is solid; the upper sits quietly above it. When used alone, the mark is always monochrome — forest on light surfaces, white on dark. Never two-tone.

The Wordmark

Rin sits forward.
Elements supports it.

The wordmark pairs Open Sans Extrabold RIN with a scaled, tracked ELEMENTS eyebrow. Use the lockup with the mark whenever space allows. Use the wordmark alone only when the mark already appears in the same view.

The Palette

Forest, Earth, Stone, Copper.

Inspired by Japanese forests (森林). Forest green is the brand identity; earth and stone are the supporting neutrals; copper is the single accent.

Voice

How we sound.

Speak in declaratives. Trust the reader. Remove every word that doesn't earn its place — the same discipline the objects must earn.

01

Quiet

We let the objects speak. Restraint reads as confidence.

02

Precise

No filler, no hype. A subject, a verb, and only the adjectives that earn it.

03

Editorial

Short sentences carry the weight. Long sentences are doing real work.

Usage Guidelines

How to use the mark.

The mark is a small object that does a large amount of work. Treat it accordingly.

Do

  • Place the mark with generous clear space — at minimum, the height of the inner triangle on all sides.
  • Use the forest monochrome mark on white or off-white surfaces (Earth 50, Stone 50).
  • Use the white monochrome mark on Forest 800 / Forest 900 surfaces and over darkened photography.
  • Pair the mark with the wordmark when introducing the brand to a new audience.
  • Keep imagery quiet — soft light, restrained color, real objects in real environments.

Don't

  • Don't rotate, skew, stretch, or alter the proportions of the mark.
  • Don't use two-tone or shaded versions of the mark — standalone applications are always single-color.
  • Don't recolor the mark outside the approved monochrome pair (Forest 700 or white).
  • Don't place the mark over busy imagery without a darkened overlay.
  • Don't add drop shadows, outlines, or gradients to the mark.
  • Don't reproduce the mark below 24px in height — legibility is part of the brand.
