A NEW WORDMARK
A wordmark isn’t just “a logo in a font.” It’s the most repeated piece of the brand, so it needs to feel intentional in every detail.
We built the Wired In wordmark by starting from our customized sans and mono foundations (edited Fraktion by Pangram Foundry), then pushing the forms toward something more rounded and geometric. The intent was to create a mark that feels distinct at a glance, while still sitting naturally inside the rest of the system. Small changes to curvature, spacing, and geometry, especially in the “W”, give the wordmark a more intentional rhythm and silhouette without making it feel disconnected from the typography used throughout the brand. The wordmark was also designed to stand on its own, just as the icon can stand on its own, without either feeling like a dependency. Subtle spacing and curvature decisions, particularly between the “W”, “I”, and “R”, quietly echo the geometry of the icon, allowing the two to feel related even when they’re used independently.
IDENTITY
The icon wasn’t designed as a standalone symbol pulled away from the wordmark, but as something that naturally belongs to it. Its curves, weight, and overall flow come directly from the same shapes used in the logotype, which allows the two to feel interchangeable depending on context. Whether the icon appears on its own or alongside the full wordmark, it still carries the same visual DNA. This creates a sense of continuity across applications, so the identity remains recognizable even when different elements are used independently.
TYOGRAPHY
Fraktion Sans and Mono were chosen for their precision and restraint. We customized both to better align with our layouts and hierarchy, making the typography feel as intentional as the products themselves.
