The supplied MEME logo is the primary identity for the website and brand communications.

Preserve the supplied lettering and its proportions. Maintain generous clear space; never stretch, crowd or place the logo on visually busy imagery.

Graphic device / MEME in motion

Stacked MEME letterforms, with a staggered sequence of highlights cycling through the grid.

Five stacked rows of MEME letters with staggered deep-teal highlights
Rhythm. Repetition. Recognition.

A familiar shape.
A living identity.

The four-letter grid repeats vertically. Deep-teal highlights travel through the muted letterforms, keeping the structure fixed while the emphasis changes.

Still presentation for reduced-motion preferences. Brand applications use the same stacked-letter language.

Colour usage

  • 60% Primary / Neutral — light, open foundation
  • 25% Primary / Brand — core identity and accents
  • 10% Secondary — depth, warmth and materiality
  • 5% Tertiary / Accent — highlights and focal details

Usage principles

Sea Mist Teal and neutrals anchor the identity. Sand, Travertine, Taupe and Clay add warmth. Terracotta, Ochre, Sage and Slate Blue bring selective emphasis.

Maintain a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for body text. Light and mid-tone swatches are not interchangeable text colours; use a tested dark neutral or deep teal.

Tone of voice

How MEME sounds: a West Coast design-and-hospitality house that is warm, refined and quietly confident.

Warm

We are
Welcoming, personal, generous
We are not
Casual, overfamiliar

“Let’s make room for what matters.”

Refined

We are
Precise, calm, considered
We are not
Ornate, exclusive, cold

“Every detail, considered.”

Confident

We are
Clear, expert, reassuring
We are not
Boastful, technical jargon

“We design, build and style—start to finish.”

West Coast

We are
Natural, light, effortless
We are not
Trend-driven, loud

“Designed for living. Made for gathering.”

Write in short, clear sentences. Speak to people (“you”, “your home”) and about the moments a space makes possible, not only its finishes.

06

Brand pillars
