The wordmark, built to the Brand Book.

Verified against Brand Book §10.1–10.6 plus the contrast/readability gate. The wordmark is one canonical partial (.wordmark) so it can't drift across instances.

§10.1

The wordmark

The second o in “Pop” becomes the burst — the literal moment intent pops into revenue. Bricolage Grotesque ExtraBold, −0.038em tracking.

Intent Pop
§10.2

The mark, standalone

The burst stands alone as app icon, favicon, or avatar — centred, even breathing room. This standalone use is approved; only the lockup integrates the burst into the word.

Poppy on ink
Poppy on pine

§10.3

Backgrounds & reversals

The full lockup on every approved ground. The wordmark reverses to cream on ink and pine, and goes mono-ink on poppy.

§10.4

Clearspace

Keep clear space equal to the diameter of the burst on every side.

§10.5

Minimum size

120px wide minimum in digital. Below that, the mark stands alone.

§10.6

Misuse — never do this

Don't stretch or condense
Don't rotate or tilt
No shadows or effects
Don't swap the typeface
Keep legible contrast
No all-caps or "!" in the logo
Bonus

Headline flourish

Distinct from the lockup: in a headline the burst trails the word “pop” (it does not replace a letter). This is the Brand Book hero treatment.

Contrast & readability

Every text/background pair the lockup uses — including the trap that bit us last time: a light card dropped into a dark section. Shown here done correctly.

The old way

  • Optimize for clicks that never convert
  • Run one test a quarter, hope it wins
  • Report traffic, not revenue

The Intent Pop way

  • Win the buying answer before the click
  • Ship tests weekly, let wins compound
  • Attribute every move to dollars
