PixDeel BrandGuidelines v1.0

The moment isthe product.

PixDeel is a whitelabel marketplace for events. Our design system stays out of the way so the moment itself can do the talking. Black, white, and restraint. Use this guide when you partner with us, feature us, or build inside the platform.

01 · Principles

The five rules we design by.

Every pixel, word, and transition on PixDeel follows these five principles. When two principles conflict, the higher-numbered one yields.

  1. 01

    The moment is the product.

    UI chrome stays out of the way. Black and white, never color-filtered chrome, so the content from the event is the only source of rich color.

  2. 02

    Instant gratification.

    Every core interaction completes in seconds. No spinners over 2s without feedback. No friction the user doesn't see a reason for.

  3. 03

    Smart defaults, power on demand.

    Photographers ship an event with zero configuration if they accept defaults. Advanced controls are always reachable, never required.

  4. 04

    Trust through transparency.

    Biometric data and payments. Clarity is non-negotiable. Pricing, consent, and privacy are inline and human-readable, never legal walls.

  5. 05

    Premium through restraint.

    Quality comes from what we leave out: clutter, noise, decoration. Not from what we add.

03 · Color

Chrome, ink, and signals.

PixDeel uses a near-neutral palette so event photography is the only source of color. A single platform accent, Ink Blue, carries every link and active state. Semantic colors speak to system states, not decoration.

Chrome

Two blacks, white, and six grays. Works across every surface.

Platform accent

Ink Blue is the single accent for links, match counts, and focus rings outside the storefront.

Semantic

Reserved for system states: success, warning, error, info. Never used to add color to a layout. On the public site the grammar is different: black and white is the photographer's layer, Ink Blue is the buyer, green is money.

Guardrails

How color is used across PixDeel.

  • Primary CTAs are always high-contrast neutral: Chrome Black on light surfaces, Chrome White on dark surfaces. Never tenant brand color.
  • Photos are the only source of rich color. Never color-filter or tint event photos.
  • Tenant brand color lives only inside the storefront. Platform pages stay chrome and ink.
  • Color is never the sole indicator of state. Always pair with icon, text, or pattern.
04 · Typography

Two families, one rhythm.

Plus Jakarta Sans for display and headings, uppercase with tight negative tracking. Inter for everything else: UI, body, forms.

05 · Voice

Warm. Brief. Human.

PixDeel talks like a thoughtful photographer, not a marketing team. Even consent copy reads like a person, not a contract.

Warm, never legal

Even biometric and payment copy reads like a person. No legal walls in the critical path.

Encouraging, never blaming

When something fails, we own the moment and offer a next step. Never 'invalid input.'

Confident, never timid

Short, direct verbs. 'Find your photos,' not 'Click here to maybe find your photos.'

Brief, never wordy

A clear sentence beats a clear paragraph. Cut half the words, then cut half again.

Concrete, never youthful

Texture comes from the nouns of their routine: Venmo, DM, bib number, QR code, the link. Adjective slang ages fast and sounds like a brand trying hard.
