BAD brand system

One system.Three temperatures.

Rebellious in campaign. Calm in product. Expressive only when it is earned.

This page is the visual companion to the canonical BAD v1 guide. It defines current brand truth and makes provisional territory unmistakable.

Approved system: 2026-08-13

Official BAD registered wordmark

Identity first. Character second.

BAD® is the master identity. Use BAD without the mark in dense product chrome. Bonehead supports earned moments and merchandise, never the primary logo.

Official BAD utility mark

Neutral utility mark for compact app surfaces. Volt is intentionally absent.

Reference-guided campaign media

Human work. Honest disclosure.

High-contrast documentary effort and recovery can carry the campaign. These fictional frames are scoped to named marketing roles and never establish a member, product, or medical truth.

One family. Product truth first.

These transparent reference-guided concept masters are provisional and scoped to this visual direction only. They do not establish inventory, formulation, manufacturing, medical, or final apparel truth.

Destructive and hard errors

Say what changed. Show what matters. Name the next move.

Product typography uses one modern sans family with tabular numerals and restrained mono labels. Campaign typography adds a high-contrast heritage face without changing the voice.

Product sample

Readiness changed

Sleep improved, but yesterday’s effort is still carrying. Keep the quality work short.

You vs. you.

Match the temperature to the moment.

01

Product core

Today, Chat, Locker, Views, History, Settings, iOS

Calm sans hierarchy, flat rows, quiet warmth, semantic color, evidence before analytics.

02

Editorial explanation

Landing, reports, onboarding chapters, campaign modules

Human photography, direct statements, controlled scale, and room for the evidence to breathe.

03

Bonehead world

Earned moments, challenges, drops, limited merchandise

Expressive and collectible. Never primary navigation, routine health data, or the master logo.

Ecosystem hierarchy

The app earns the right to extend.

Truth before taste.

A beautiful reference is still only inspiration until provenance, rights, exact scope, crop, and approval are recorded.

Official now

Identity, tokens, UI rules, named campaign frames

Deterministic masters and current product behavior establish system truth. Approved campaign images remain limited to their recorded roles.

Provisional

People, apparel, packaging

No generated likeness, garment, supplement, or package becomes official without named approval.

Stop ship

Invented claims, fabricated UI, skull-first identity, impossible product scale, or lifestyle headwear sold as performance gear
