Squiki Tiki Brand Guidelines

EST. 2026

02 / Brand system

Logo Variations

Three lockups cover the full range of brand moments. Choose for the available space, never for novelty.

Tilted Squiki Tiki logo with Dr. BBQ
Preferred

Tilted wordmark

The hero mark. Use for expressive placements and brand-first moments. Available with or without “With Dr. BBQ.”

Utility

Flat wordmark

Use when a level baseline improves fit or readability: web headers, narrow signs, and sponsor rows. Tagline is optional.

Download SVG
Stacked Squiki Tiki icon
Small spaces

Stacked icon

Reserved for avatars, favicons, stickers, stamps, and compact placements. Never add “With Dr. BBQ.”

The short ruleTilted first. Flat when needed. Stacked when small.

03 / Brand system

Logo Do Not’s

Consistency keeps the signature recognizable. Use approved artwork and resist the urge to “improve” its personality.

Incorrectly rotated Squiki Tiki logo

Don’t add more tilt

The primary artwork already has the right angle.

Incorrectly stretched Squiki Tiki logo

Don’t stretch

Scale proportionally. Never squeeze or widen.

Incorrect outlined Squiki Tiki logo

Don’t outline

Use a solid, approved brand color only.

Squiki Tiki logo with an incorrect shadow

Don’t add effects

No shadows, glows, gradients, or bevels.

Squiki Tiki logo in an unapproved color

Don’t go off-palette

Keep every lockup inside the approved system.

Stacked logo with an incorrect taglineWITH DR. BBQ

Don’t tag the stack

The stacked icon never carries the endorsement.

04 / Brand system

Color Palette

A sunbaked spectrum with enough heat for a tiny room and enough depth for a long night. Sand is the core canvas; Lava Rock anchors; Fire delivers the signature hit.

Typography

Three voices give the system its range: a condensed display face for impact, a relaxed script for flare, and Manrope for clear everyday reading.

Photography

Make the place feel close enough to touch. Photograph people, pours, plates, and the packed little world around them with heat, humor, and human energy.

01

Get close

Crops can be tight and tactile. Prioritize gestures, garnishes, hands, faces, and the textures of the room.

02

Turn up the color

Use warm, saturated light with bold reds, oranges, greens, and electric accents. Avoid cool, washed-out neutrality.

03

Keep the party human

Favor candid action, eye contact, small surprises, and a little imperfection over polished hospitality clichés.

04

Bring in vintage

Vintage tropical photography is a distinct pillar of the system. Use it to add nostalgia, wit, and a sense of found ephemera.

05

Layer in texture

Pair photography with tactile patterns: carved palm, bamboo, wood grain, marble, and woven surfaces. Crop close enough to feel physical.

FPO photography + textures

This bank defines the desired direction only. Replace with commissioned Squiki Tiki imagery and approved material studies before launch.

Photo Treatment

A halftone layer connects vintage photography to the tactile, printed character of the brand. Apply this pattern only to vintage photos; contemporary imagery stays clean.

Vintage only

Use the halftone pattern only on vintage photography. Keep faces and key details recognizable, and never apply it to contemporary people, food, drink, or interior photography.

Illustration

The illustration world is still in development. Illustration linework is always Lava Rock and may sit on any of the approved background colors shown here.
