02Logo Guide
The wordmark & the mark
The Celebrity Ink identity is already established. The wordmark and star mark are fixed assets: use them exactly as supplied, never redraw or recreate them. The wordmark leads the brand; the star mark stands alone where space is tight or the wordmark won’t read.

Clear Space & Minimum Size

Don’ts

03Colour Guide
A palette of gold & ink
Gold Ore on Black Ink is the heart of the identity. White and the softer secondary tones provide breathing room and contrast across print and screen.

04Gold Gradient
The foil finish
The gold gradient simulates the metallic foil used on premium print: cards, signage and packaging. Run it diagonally so the highlight catches like real foil. Reserve it for hero moments; flat Gold Ore covers everything else.
Poppins keeps body copy clear and professional across every medium.
06The Star Mark
One line. A five-point star.
The mark draws a continuous five-point star anchored by a single half-arc, a nod to the star of celebrity and the permanence of ink. It stands alone as an avatar, favicon, embroidery or foil stamp.
App IconFoil StampWatermark
07Imagery & Artwork
Dark canvas, fine line work
Backgrounds lean into deep blacks and intricate tattoo line art (dragons, koi and fine-line motifs) rendered low-contrast so gold and type stay the focus. Treat photography with rich shadow and warm highlights.

12Campaign
Zodiac Flash
A twelve-part social series, one flash card per star sign. Every card runs the same ornate gold deco frame on black ink, so the set reads as one campaign while each illustration stays distinct. Built at 1080×1920 for stories and reels.
A full seasonal push that runs across every touchpoint: in-store screen animations, email, social, digital gift cards and printed posters. One gift-led idea, held together by the gold-on-black system and a single confident line.
01
In-store screen animations
Vertical 1080×1920 loops for studio window and reception screens. Muted, seamless and short; motion carries the message, no audio needed.
Hero Screen · 9:16

02
Email
A single 600 px campaign email: hero headline, gift-card offer and a clear “Buy Now” call to action, closing on the gold-on-black dragon footer.
Campaign Email · 600 px
Subject line leads with the hook; the hero reuses the “Inked Legends” social key visual so email and feed stay in lockstep. Body copy is short and warm, buttons are solid black on white, and the footer carries the gold wordmark on the dragon motif.
A playful 1:1 feed series: every post pairs a candid dad-and-kids moment with a bold two-tone headline and the white lockup, one clean colour field per post.

Dr Pickles × Celebrity Ink
×
A co-branded aftercare range: an Artist Series tattoo aftercare kit created with Dr Pickles. Packaging leans into hand-drawn flash: dense black line-art motifs on a warm bone stock, framed around a clean white panel that carries both marks.
Artist Series · Tattoo Aftercare
Retail packaging for the co-branded kit. Both logos share a single framed panel: Celebrity Ink leads at the top, “Created by Dr Pickles” sits beneath, keeping the partnership balanced and legible.

Production · Die-Cut Keyline
The flat dieline for the aftercare carton. Magenta lines mark the cut and fold keyline; the flash motifs run edge to edge across every panel so the pattern stays continuous once folded, framing the co-branded panel on the front face.

Halloween
A dark, occult-leaning seasonal push: free tarot readings, a best-dressed contest, pre-designed flash and a “dare to design” call-out. Ornate gilded display type over moody candlelit imagery, with blood-red accents kept for the scares.

Reverse Graffiti
Clean-only street advertising: 1×1m stencils pressure-washed into grimy footpaths outside our studios, so the artwork appears as the clean surface rather than added paint. No paint, no mess, just a sharp mark that points the way to your next tattoo. Every stencil pairs a blunt one-liner with a single piece of classic flash.
