## Brand

Quick reference in case the [Brand Guide](https://neonmadmen.ca/brand) page can't be parsed.

### Name

- Global platforms (website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Spotify): "Neon Madmen 🇨🇦" — or "Neon Madmen - Canada" if the emoji isn't supported. This disambiguates from other bands with similar names.
- Local-only material (e.g. a poster for a Wawanesa/Brandon show): just "Neon Madmen", no flag.

### Logo

- Primary — round icon (PNG, transparent): https://neonmadmen.ca/images/logo-round.png
- App / social icon (512×512 source): https://neonmadmen.ca/icon.png
- Favicon: https://neonmadmen.ca/favicon.ico
- Icon, padded — for app icons or anywhere it needs breathing room: https://neonmadmen.ca/logo-round-padding.png
- Text badge, round — posters, stickers, patches: https://neonmadmen.ca/logo-text-round.png
- Text lockup, wide — letterhead, video lower-thirds, wide banners: https://neonmadmen.ca/logo-text-wide.png
- There's no separate text-only logo file — the site just uses the stacked "Neon / Madmen" heading text (Bevan font) for that.
- Give the logo room to breathe (a gap roughly a quarter of its own height) and don't recolor it.

### Texture

- Grunge scratched vignette (SVG, transparent background): https://neonmadmen.ca/grunge-scratched-vignette.svg — the scratched-border texture behind the About, Shows, band photo, and Contact sections, applied grayscale, multiply blend, ~40–50% opacity. Vector, so scale or rotate to any size or orientation without quality loss.

### Colour

Accents:
- Neon Green `#00FF85` — CTAs, highlights. Hover states are this same green at 90% opacity.
- Neon Red `#FF2D2D` — the glowing sign effect, used sparingly.
- Secondary Red `#EBADAD` — the lighter red at the center of the glowing sign text.

Greys (light to dark):
- grey-600 `#525252` — muted/grey text, "unlit" look on the neon sign.
- grey-700 `#272727` — cards, panels, raised sections.
- grey-800 `#1D1D1D` — page background, deepest layer.
- grey-900 `#171717` — nav bar tint.

### Typography

- Heading — hero & titles: Bevan, weight 400 (https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Bevan)
- Display — neon sign label: Tilt Neon, variable weight (https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Tilt+Neon)
- Body & UI — everything else: DM Sans, weights 400 / 500 / 700 (https://fonts.google.com/specimen/DM+Sans)
- Quick picks: big/headline text → Bevan, regular weight, white. Everything else → DM Sans, regular or bold, white or light grey. Flickering neon sign look → Tilt Neon plus the red glow above.
