Refined from v2 Concept 01 (Solo Container). Below: the primary mark, lockups, color & mono variants, construction & clearspace, scale behaviour, app icons, favicon, on-background tests, and usage rules.
One chunky iso-container — cream top, cargo-orange wall, deep-orange door, heavy ink outline. Reads at any size, photographs well on trucks & swag, ships as a vector.
The full-detail mark used at 64px and above. On dark or saturated backgrounds, switch to the white-outline variant.
Default. Use on cream, off-white, neutral.
Outline switches to cream so the mark holds its silhouette on dark.
For full-bleed brand backgrounds, swag tags, vehicle livery.
Single-color print, embossing, fax-grade reproduction.
Three primary lockups plus mark-only and wordmark-only. Pick the form that fits the space; never recompose by hand.
Default for site header, email signature, business card.
For dark headers, footer plates, vehicle livery.
Use on hero sections, posters, square-format social.
Where the mark already appears nearby — letterhead body, invoice subtotal row.
The mark is built on a 30°/30° isometric grid. Clearspace = ½ the height of the container's front-face door — never crowd it tighter.
The container is drawn on a true 30°/30° isometric grid, with three faces:
Define x as the height of the door (front face). Always leave at least 0.5 × x of empty space on every side of the mark.
Outer stroke is 3.2 units at viewBox 120. Ribs and door details step down to 1.2–2 units. Scale strokes proportionally — never set a fixed pixel stroke.
The full-detail mark holds down to ~48px. Below that, switch to the simplified mini-mark — three flat faces, no ribs.
iOS / Android style — rounded square (22% corner radius), centered mark at ~70% of icon width. Use the simplified mini-mark so it stays crisp at 60px home-screen.
The simplified mini-mark, dropped into a square. At 16px the cream top-face becomes the silhouette's strongest read.
Tested on the five surfaces that come up most: cream, white, ink, brand orange, and a photographic surface.
Six rules that cover the failure modes I see most in container/iso brand work.
The intended default surface — best contrast for cream top & orange wall.
The isometric angles are 30°/30°. Distortion breaks the container read instantly.
Containers don't tilt. Keep it level on the baseline.
Keeps the outline visible without the orange melting into the BG.
Ribs and door split clog up. Swap to the mini-mark (no ribs).
Three flat colored faces — survives at 16px and on a phone home-screen.
