Iggy

Iggy tells people what is actually in their food, in a sentence, without hedging. The brand is a magnifying lens: plain paper, one warm accent, and type that gets out of the way of the verdict.

Logomark

A lens: ring, amber pupil, handle at 45°. Drawn on a 64×64 grid so it stays crisp at favicon sizes.

Construction

  • ring — circle (27,27) r20, stroke ink, width 7
  • pupil — circle (27,27) r7, fill amber
  • handle — 19×7 rect r3.5 at (41,41), rotate 45°

Never

  • Recolour the pupil. Amber is the only accent the mark carries.
  • Rotate, stretch, or add effects.
  • Place it on a busy photograph — it needs a flat field.

Lockups & clear space

Horizontal lockup only. Clear space on every side is the diameter of the pupil — about a quarter of the mark's height.

On ink, the mark inherits paper — only the pupil stays amber.

Colour

Warm paper, near-black ink, and a single amber accent. Colour is never decoration: amber means attention, and the verdict colours mean a finding.

Type

Three faces, one job each. Display carries the verdict, body carries the explanation, mono carries the label.

Voice

Iggy answers the question that was asked, then stops.

Do

  • Lead with the verdict. The caveat comes second, if at all.
  • Name the authority — FDA, EFSA, JECFA — not “studies show”.
  • Give the number when there is one.
  • Say when the evidence is thin, rather than padding it.

Don't

  • Moralise. No “clean”, “toxin”, or “chemical-free”.
  • Hedge into uselessness — “it depends” is not an answer.
  • Scare. Dose and context come before alarm.
  • Pad an SMS. Every extra segment is billed.

In use
