Naked Tech — Brand v2.1 · August 2026

Brand Identity & Guidelines

Naked Tech combines transparency, distinctive personality, calm competence, designed outcomes and local expertise for people who want technology that works without the sales pitch. This living system governs language, commercial expression, visual design and customer journeys across both light and dark themes.

01. Brand Positioning

Transparent

No hardware markups. No hidden call-out fees. What you see is what you pay. Pricing is stripped down to the service and the hardware — shown separately.

Distinctive

We use cheeky confidence to be memorable, then support it with plain-English scope, calm competence and practical next steps.

Local

Ivanhoe and Eaglemont are our patch. We know the streets, the housing stock, and the typical NBN pain points. No call-out fees for either suburb.

Outcome-led

Named, bounded offers combine judgement, implementation, education and a useful handover. Time is a delivery boundary, not the product.

Who we help

Naked Tech serves households in Ivanhoe (3079) and Eaglemont (3084) that value their time and want technology that works. They choose clear scope, calm competence and respectful help from a technician they feel comfortable welcoming into their home. Renters, home-office workers and families managing technology they did not set up themselves are welcome too.

What makes it Naked Tech

Clear outcomes. Your technology stays yours.

Each service brings together careful diagnosis, practical judgement, implementation and plain-English education. You know the starting scope, remain involved in important decisions and receive a clear next step.

Defined from the start

Named offers, visible prices and honest boundaries make it easier to choose the right starting point without open-ended billing.

Control stays with you

Your equipment, accounts, credentials and decisions remain in your hands, supported by explanation rather than hidden behind jargon.

02. Logo & Mark System

Graphic Mark

Rectangle + angular path

NAKED TECH

Wordmark — Inter Extra Bold, tracking-tight

NAKED TECH

Horizontal Lockup (Header Default)

NAKED TECH

Stacked Lockup (Dark Surfaces)

Clearspace

Maintain a minimum clearspace equal to the height of the rectangle in the graphic mark (the dark block) on all sides of the logo. No text, graphics, or interface elements should intrude into this zone.

Minimum Size

The graphic mark should never appear smaller than 40px tall. The wordmark alone should never appear smaller than 14px (text-sm equivalent). The horizontal lockup is preferred for most applications at 32–40px mark height.

Do Not

  • Stretch, squash, or distort the mark
  • Change the mark colors outside the defined palette
  • Add drop shadows, gradients, or outlines to the mark
  • Rotate the mark or place it on a busy background
  • Use the wordmark without the mark as a primary identifier
  • Place the mark on a background that reduces contrast (use the dark-surface variant on dark backgrounds)

03. Color Palette

Skin Bone

#F7F4EF

Background. Warm off-white. The primary page surface.

Ivanhoe Slate

#2D3035

Text & headings. Dark charcoal with subtle warmth. Hero section backgrounds.

Electric Peach

#FF8C69

Accent. Coral-peach. CTAs, highlights, interactive elements, the path in the logo mark.

Peach Ink

#B84424

Accessible accent. Terracotta. Accent text and icons on light backgrounds. Meets WCAG AA on skin-bone.

Usage Ratios

Skin Bone should dominate (~70% of visible surface). Ivanhoe Slate is the primary text and dark-section background (~20%). Electric Peach is used sparingly (~8%) as the accent — if everything is peach, nothing stands out. Peach Ink is used only for accent text on light backgrounds (~2%).

04. Typography

'Inter', ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif

Weights

400Body text, paragraphs, descriptions
500Medium emphasis, sub-labels
600Navigation, section labels, small headings

tracking-widest — Uppercase labels, category tags, section kickers.

05. Brand Voice

Tone Principles

  • Cheeky but professional. The brand uses double-entendre and confidence to stand out from the beige IT crowd, but always lands on competence — never crassness.
  • Transparent about everything. Pricing, process, hardware costs. If it can be shown, show it. The "naked" metaphor is not just a gag — it is the operating principle.
  • Confident, not arrogant. We know what we are doing and say so directly. We do not overpromise or pretend problems do not exist.
  • Outcome-led and specific. Lead with the change, decision or capability the client receives. Mention time, tools and device limits as scope boundaries rather than the reason to buy.
  • Local, not generic. References to Ivanhoe, Eaglemont, 3079 and 3084 — these are not SEO keywords. They are the actual places we serve and the actual people we talk to.
  • Context determines tone. Routine technology can be playful. Scam, security, loss and urgent situations require calm, factual, non-judgemental language.

The "Naked" Metaphor — Rules of Engagement

The brand name is a double-entendre. It works because it is both descriptive (naked = transparent, nothing hidden) and playful. The line is: playful, never sleazy.

Do ✓

  • "We turn things on."
  • "Total transparency. Our clothes-off policy."
  • "We handle your hardware with care."
  • "Lock it in."
  • "Secure your slot."

Don't ✗

  • Anything that implies sexual availability of staff
  • Jokes about "happy endings" or "extras"
  • Objectifying language about technicians' bodies
  • "We'll make your hardware happy" (too far)
  • Any reference to clients undressing

Voice Spectrum

Playful

Brand moments, routine setup and everyday frustrations. Personality may lead.

Practical

Pricing, process and technical choices. Clarity leads; humour is restrained.

Calm

Scams, security, money or loss. Safety and non-judgemental guidance lead; jokes stop.

06. Imagery

Photo Direction

  • Sun-drenched, warm, natural light — Australian residential interiors
  • Technician-forward: the person is the subject, not the hardware
  • Locations should feel like real Ivanhoe homes — not sterile showrooms
  • Avoid: stock-photo "IT guy in server room" tropes

Treatment

  • Slight warmth boost — pull the temperature toward the peach/gold range
  • Natural contrast — avoid heavy HDR or over-sharpening
  • No heavy filters, no monochrome, no desaturation
  • Hero images: 16:9 or similar landscape ratio, WebP format, optimized for 2x displays

07. Components

Primary CTA Button

The rounded-full electric-peach button is the primary action element. Used in the header, hero sections, and bottom-of-page CTAs.

Structured Footer

The footer is a compact final routing surface: brand and contact first, two grouped help paths, then a short Explore list. Legal, corporate, tracking and theme controls sit in the utility bar rather than creating another long content column.

08. Light & Dark Theme System

Light theme

Warm and open.

Skin Bone canvas, white elevated surfaces and Ivanhoe Slate text create a domestic, approachable default.

Primary action

Dark theme

Warm, not cyberpunk.

Deep charcoal replaces pure black, with warm bone text and restrained peach accents preserving the residential character.

Behaviour

  • Follow the operating-system preference on first visit.
  • Offer System, Light and Dark controls in navigation and footer.
  • Persist an explicit user choice without a theme flash.
  • Update browser chrome and embedded content colour scheme.
  • Never use theme changes to reduce contrast or hide focus states.

09. Experience Principles

Problem first

Use the customer’s language.

Lead with “Wi-Fi keeps dropping” or “My computer is slow,” then introduce the assessment and branded service name. Internal categories never outrank the visitor’s problem.

Contextual navigation

Keep people where the answer is.

Global navigation may adapt its destination to the page. “How it works” targets the local process on service pages and the overview on the homepage.

Progressive detail

Route first. Explain second.

The homepage helps visitors choose a path. Service hubs compare offers. Landing pages carry the detailed scope, exclusions and decision support.

Accessible restraint

Motion and personality never block the task.

Maintain keyboard access, visible focus, 44px minimum targets, reduced-motion support and readable contrast in both themes.

Designed value

Make the method visible.

Show the judgement, safeguards, education and handover that make an offer distinct. A list of technical tasks alone cannot carry the story.

Client sovereignty

Leave people more capable and in control.

Credentials, ownership and informed decisions remain with the client. Good service reduces confusion and dependence without withdrawing useful support.

10. Brand Stewardship

One living system

Strategy and expression stay in step.

New pages and collateral are checked against this public guide and the private marketing strategy before release. Material decisions are then reflected back into the relevant document so the brand evolves deliberately rather than by accident.

Open private strategy (authorised access required; opens in a new tab)

Sanctum Core access is restricted to authorised users.
