Created: 2025-09-18T01:08:32.847Z

Executive Summary

This Visual Identity System (VIS) establishes the comprehensive visual framework for WineROI, a mobile application designed to provide real-time wine value assessment in restaurant settings. The system translates our brand strategy into a cohesive visual language that communicates our core values of practical utility, democratized knowledge, and unpretentious expertise.

The WineROI visual identity is designed to evoke the feeling of a discreet, knowledgeable companion at a business dinner - sophisticated without being stuffy, contemporary without being trendy, and welcoming without being casual. The system balances authority with approachability, creating a visual language that empowers users to make confident wine selections without requiring wine expertise.

This document provides detailed specifications for all visual elements of the WineROI brand, ensuring consistent implementation across all touchpoints and supporting our position as the definitive solution for restaurant wine value assessment.

1. Visual Foundation

1.1 Color Palette

The WineROI color palette balances sophistication with approachability, creating a system that feels authoritative yet accessible. The palette is designed for high legibility in low-light restaurant environments while conveying the brand's focus on value and practical knowledge.

Primary Colors

• Deep Navy (#1A2A47)
  Our foundation color representing authority, trustworthiness, and expertise. Used for primary backgrounds, key UI elements, and primary text.

• Burgundy (#7D2E46)
  A rich wine-inspired accent that connects to our subject matter while adding warmth and sophistication. Used sparingly for highlights and call-to-action elements.

• Gold (#D4B96A)
  Represents value, quality, and discernment. Used for value indicators, ratings, and key interactive elements to draw attention to value assessments.

Secondary Colors

• Slate Gray (#4A5568)
  A neutral complement that provides balance and subtlety. Used for secondary text, icons, and supporting elements.

• Warm White (#F8F5F0)
  Creates breathing room and enhances readability. Primary background for light mode and content areas.

• Merlot (#5E1F30)
  A deeper wine tone for secondary accents and visual hierarchy.

Accent Colors

• Value Green (#2D8A6D)
  Indicates good value wines and positive outcomes. Used exclusively for positive value indicators.

• Alert Red (#C53F3F)
  Indicates poor value wines and warnings. Used exclusively for negative value indicators.

• Neutral Taupe (#B2A89D)
  Indicates fair value or neutral states. Used for moderate value indicators.

Color Application Guidelines

• Dark Mode Default: The application defaults to a dark mode interface (Deep Navy background with Warm White text) for discreet use in low-light restaurant environments.

• Color Hierarchy: Color usage follows a strict hierarchy with Deep Navy as the dominant color, Gold for primary interactions, and Burgundy for selective accents.

• Value Indication: The system uses a consistent color-coding system where Value Green indicates good value, Alert Red indicates poor value, and Neutral Taupe indicates fair value.

• Accessibility: All color combinations maintain a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for text legibility, with primary text achieving 7:1 ratio for optimal readability in varied lighting conditions.

1.2 Typography System

• Capitalization: Sentence case for most content; all caps used sparingly for small UI elements and labels.

• Emphasis: Use weight variation rather than italics for emphasis in the interface.

• Responsive Scaling: Typography scales proportionally across device sizes while maintaining hierarchy relationships.

1.3 Composition & Layout

The WineROI layout system prioritizes quick comprehension and discreet use, with a strong information hierarchy that allows users to understand wine value at a glance.

Grid System

• Base Grid: 8-point grid system for consistent spacing and alignment
• Margins: Minimum 16px margins on all screens, increasing to 24px on larger devices
• Columns: 4-column grid on mobile, expanding to 8-columns on tablet and 12-columns on desktop
• Gutters: 16px standard gutter width

Layout Principles

1. Value-First Hierarchy
   The value assessment is always the most visually prominent element on any wine detail screen, using size, color, and positioning to create clear focus.

2. Progressive Disclosure
   Information is organized in layers, with the most critical data (value verdict) immediately visible and supporting details available through progressive interaction.

3. Glanceability
   Key screens are designed to be understood within 2-3 seconds, using clear visual hierarchy and distinctive color coding.

4. Thumb-Friendly Interaction
   Primary interactive elements positioned within easy reach of the thumb in one-handed use, acknowledging that users may be holding a wine list or menu.

5. Contextual Adaptation
   Layouts adapt to environmental contexts, with a default dark mode for low-light settings and simplified layouts for quick reference.

White Space

• Generous Breathing Room: Ample white space surrounds critical information to enhance focus and readability
• Content Grouping: Related information is visually grouped with consistent spacing patterns
• Hierarchical Spacing: More important elements receive more surrounding white space
• Edge Spacing: Consistent padding from screen edges maintains a clean, contained appearance

Component Layout

• Cards: Contain individual wine information with consistent internal spacing (16px padding)
• Lists: Utilize asymmetric spacing with more space above items (16px) than below (12px)
• Detail Views: Employ a clear visual hierarchy with the value verdict receiving prominent positioning in the top third of the screen
• Navigation: Maintains fixed positioning for consistent access while minimizing visual weight

1.4 Iconography

The WineROI iconography system uses clean, distinctive icons that communicate clearly while maintaining sophistication and approachability.

Icon Style

• Geometric Foundation: Icons built on simple geometric shapes with consistent proportions
• Stroke Style: 2px rounded stroke with 18x18px bounding box for primary navigation icons
• Filled vs. Outlined: Navigation uses filled icons for active states and outlined icons for inactive states

2. Brand Expression Elements

2.1 Logo System

The WineROI logo embodies our brand essence as a knowledgeable, practical tool for wine value assessment, balancing expertise with approachability.

Primary Logo

The primary logo consists of two elements:

1. Wordmark: "WineROI" set in a modified Playfair Display with increased letter spacing and subtle refinements to the letterforms. The "Wine" portion uses Regular weight while "ROI" uses Semi-Bold weight to emphasize our focus on return-on-investment.

2. Symbol: A simplified wine glass silhouette with a subtle price tag integrated into the stem, creating a distinctive mark that communicates our value assessment focus.

The primary logo lockup places the symbol to the left of the wordmark with precise spacing relationships.

Logo Variations

• Horizontal Lockup: Primary version with symbol to the left of wordmark, used in most applications
• Stacked Lockup: Symbol centered above wordmark, used in square formats and where vertical space exceeds horizontal space
• Symbol Only: Used for app icon, favicon, and where space is extremely limited
• Wordmark Only: Used in contexts where the symbol has already established presence

Clear Space

Maintain a minimum clear space around the logo equal to the height of the "W" in the wordmark. No other graphic elements, text, or images may intrude into this space.

Minimum Size

• Horizontal Lockup: Minimum width of 100px digital, 1.5 inches print
• Stacked Lockup: Minimum width of 80px digital, 1 inch print
• Symbol Only: Minimum width of 24px digital, 0.25 inches print

Color Applications

• Primary: Deep Navy logo on Warm White background
• Reversed: Warm White logo on Deep Navy background
• Monochrome: Black or white versions for limited color applications
• Special Application: Gold symbol with Deep Navy wordmark for premium contexts

Improper Usage

• Do not change the color of individual logo elements
• Do not distort or stretch the logo
• Do not rotate the logo
• Do not add effects (shadows, glows, etc.)
• Do not place on busy backgrounds without sufficient contrast
• Do not rearrange or resize logo elements in relation to each other
