The name behind the herd.

Wapiti is another name for the North American elk, a strong, graceful animal that thrives as part of a herd. That spirit runs through everything we make: craftsmanship, momentum, and a community that grows together. This guide is the single source of truth for representing Wapiti Digital, whether you're the press, a partner, or a collaborator putting our brand in front of the world.

Handcrafted

Every website is built by hand and tailored to the business behind it: never templated, never cookie-cutter.

Collaborative

We move as a herd. We build alongside our clients, keeping them close at every step of the process.

Clear

No jargon and no surprises: a transparent process with results you can actually measure.
—  Logo

Our logo

The horizontal wordmark is our primary logo. Reach for the standalone elk mark only where space is tight or the full logo won't fit.

Elk mark

Clear space & size

Keep clear space around the logo equal to the height of the elk mark on every side. Minimum width for digital use is 120px; for the standalone mark, 32px.

Which version to use

Use the positive logo on white and light backgrounds. Use the reversed (white) logo on Teal, Ink, or over photography. Prefer SVG for screen; PNG where SVG isn't supported.

Do

✓ Use the approved color versions
✓ Give the logo room to breathe
✓ Place it on high-contrast backgrounds

Don't

✕ Stretch, rotate, or recolor it
✕ Add shadows, gradients, or effects
✕ Place it on busy or low-contrast imagery
Media & partners: everything you need lives in the Icon and Digital folders.

—  Iconography

The elk mark

The elk mark is our shorthand: it stands in for the full logo in tight spaces like favicons, avatars, and app icons. Keep it whole and unaltered, and always give it a background with enough contrast to read cleanly.

—  Imagery

Photography

Our imagery is nature-forward and rooted in the outdoors, the world the wapiti lives in. Favor real, unforced scenes, and tint photography with our brand colors when it needs to feel unmistakably Wapiti.

Aim for

✓ The outdoors, wildlife, and natural light
✓ Authentic, calm, unstaged moments
✓ Teal or copper tints to tie imagery to the brand

Avoid

✕ Generic, obviously-staged stock photos
✕ Cluttered or oversaturated scenes
✕ Heavy filters that fight the brand colors
—  Voice & tone

How we sound

We write the way we work: clear, confident, and human. Skip the buzzwords, keep it honest, and always tell people what happens next.

Confident

We know our craft and we say so, plainly.

Clear

Short sentences. Real words. No jargon.

Warm

Friendly and human, like a good neighbor.

Craft-driven

Proud of the details, because they matter.

We say

“Let's build something that sells.”
“Here's exactly what happens next.”
“Handcrafted for your business.”

We don't say

“Leverage synergistic solutions.”
“We'll circle back at some point.”
“Just a quick template job.”
—  Web elements

Interface elements

The building blocks that make the brand feel consistent on screen: from buttons to the small accents that tie every page together.

Buttons

Primary buttons are copper pills for the main action. Secondary buttons are quieter and support it.

Eyebrows & accent bars

Copper eyebrow labels introduce sections; a 3px copper bar anchors headlines. Word marks in the page background echo the section name.
