Analogue
madebyanalogue.co.uka "seriously playful" brand-and-motion studio that wears its personality as type, a wonky multi-alternate ANALOGUE wordmark, emoji and icon glyphs set inline in the copy, a candy-pink accent on white, and a GSAP-driven box of tricks (mexican-wave letters, glitches, bounce, float) kept just on the right side of chaos.

Do / Don't
Reference it for
- Personality through type: a multi-alternate display wordmark and inline emoji/icon glyphs as brand voice.
- "Seriously playful": maximal motion kept controlled by a strict black/white + single-pink palette.
- A motion-studio stack done well, GSAP + ScrollTrigger + Lenis, as the reference for heavy, choreographed scroll motion.
- A playful nav that includes a "Playroom" (experiments) as a brand signal.
- A grotesque + serif + mono three-voice type system for range.
Do not copy
- The wonky multi-alternate wordmark and inline-emoji copy are very brand-coded; borrow the idea, not the execution.
- The volume of motion (29 keyframes, glitches, bounces) needs strong art direction and reduced-motion care; it can read as noisy if borrowed wholesale.
- MetroSans / Italian Plate are licensed; map to playful display + mono substitutes.
Signature moves
personality-through-type wordmark with inline glyphs
a wonky multi-alternate display wordmark plus emoji and icon glyphs set inline in the copy carry brand voice, on white with a single candy-pink #ffa7f0 accent.
controlled maximal GSAP motion box
GSAP + ScrollTrigger + Lenis drive mexican-wave letters, glitches, bounce and float (29 keyframes) kept on the right side of chaos by the strict palette, at a ~400ms signature.
grotesque + serif + mono three-voice range
a grotesque (MetroSans) + serif (Times) + mono (Italian Plate) three-voice type system gives tonal range.
