Paper, ink, one green.

The default creative authority for everything sh. industries makes: pages, HQ, clips, posts, decks. Every example on this page is built from the tokens, so it doubles as the component reference.

Brand idea

Taste, shipped. A one-person company whose system does the work and whose owner has the eye.

Architecture

sh. industries owns type, palette, mascot, motion, tone. sh. HQ is software, sh. Studio is work, sh. Lab is media and community. Divisions get a lockup, not a colour.

Principles

One loud thing per view. Lines, not shadows. Numbers are typeset, not decorated. Every element has a reason you can say out loud. A 16-pixel detail beats a full-screen effect.

Logo
sh. sh. industries sh. HQ

Funnel Display 800. The period is the only green. Clear space = the height of the s. Minimum 24px; the dot alone at 16px. On photos: paper letters on an ink scrim.

Operator (mascot, draft)

An 8×8 placeholder creature on an ink desk line; the real Operator is drawn on a 16×16 grid with one green pixel (the screen glow). Non-human, never racing, never larger than 64px on marketing.

Rules

Green is a fill, stroke, dot or highlight. Never text on paper (contrast 1.3:1), never a background. One green element per view by default; a second needs a reason. Status colours always travel with a label. No new colour without retiring one.

If the logo were removed

SH is still recognisable by at least three of these: paper with one green element; Funnel Display headlines over Funnel Sans text with tabular digits; the Operator or the green pixel dot; a mono version chip; hard 8px rectangles with 1px lines and no shadows.
