SC 01 · The idea01 / 15

Drawn by hand.
Timed by the frame.

Every orbimotion film starts as a pencil test: a loose drawing that finds the idea, then a clean-up pass that makes it shine. The brand keeps both on show. The rough says a person thought about this. The clean line says it was finished properly.

01

The hand shows

Rough blue lines, red margin notes and circled words stay visible. They are not decoration. They show the thinking.

02

Timed on twos

Anything hand-drawn moves at 12 frames a second, like real drawn animation. The product itself moves smoothly.

03

Two materials

By day, a sheet of animation paper. By night, the same sheet on a lightbox. Never pure black, never pure white.

SC 04 · Space & size04 / 15

Clear space and minimum size

RRRR

Clear space = R, the radius of the ink orb, on every side. Nothing else goes inside the dashed line: no text, no edges, no other logos.

Below 48 px the rough line gets too thin to read, so it becomes one clean ring. At 16 px only the orb survives.

Logo don’ts

The rough is on purpose. Please don’t tidy it, recolour it or redraw it.

Don’t make the rough grey or black. In colour it is always Col-Erase blue.
Don’t replace the rough with a perfect circle or trace a new one.
Don’t stretch, squash or skew it.
Don’t recolour the orb. Red is for notes only.
Don’t add shadows, glows, gradients or outlines.
orbimotion
Don’t retype the wordmark in any font. Use the supplied files.
Don’t place the colour logo on busy images. Use the one-colour white version.
Don’t rotate it. Only margin notes get to tilt.

favicon.svg switches to the dark version by itself when the browser is in dark mode. The app icon uses a simpler, single rough loop so it stays crisp at 60 px.

Contrast ratios are against Paper. Col-Erase blue is for lines and drawings only: it is too light for text, so blue text uses Col-Erase deep.

SC 10 · Hand-drawn elements10 / 15

Hand-drawn elements

The pencil work is what makes this brand feel human. Use it with restraint: one idea per mark.

We make the sexiest

Pencil circle

Circles the one word that matters. Once per screen, red pencil, drawn on then boiling.

timing

Construction guides

Baseline and x-height lines in soft blue, on hero headlines only. They run edge to edge.

Margin notes

The animator talking. Short, lower case, red, tilted. Three per screen at most, never essential information.

Arrows

Point from a note to its subject. Drawn loose, never a UI icon.

Peg bar

The three holes of animation paper. Tops cards, reels and sheets like this one.

Rough icons

Blue rough outline plus one ink detail. They jitter gently in place.

SC 11 · Motion11 / 15

Motion: two speeds

The hand moves on twos. The product moves on ones. That contrast is the whole motion system.

The hand, on twos12 fps · steps()
The product, on ones60 fps · eased
On twos

The logo, roughs, notes, arrows, the pencil circle, rough icons

On ones

Product UI, cards, page transitions, scrolling, the reel’s final pass

UI easing: cubic-bezier(.3, .7, .2, 1) at 240 or 400 ms.

Line boil

Three drawings of the same line, looped at about 8 fps (360 ms). Pencil lines are never still.

Draw-on

Lines draw in 12 steps over one second, never a smooth wipe.

Clean-up pop

The ink orb lands in 3 frames: overshoot, settle, hold.

SC 12 · Light & dark12 / 15

Light and dark

One sheet of paper, two lighting conditions. The switch in the nav is a lightbox, not a moon icon.

Lightbox · the same sheet, lit from below
The switch

Turning it on flickers twice like a real tube (about 160 ms), then the glow warms up over 600 ms.

Turning it off is instant, like pulling the plug, with a soft daylight fade.

First visit follows the visitor’s system setting. After that, remember their choice.

Rules

Never pure black or pure white. Blue lines get lighter on dark, red gets warmer. Cards glow; pages don’t.

tokens.css, motion.css and theme-switch.js in the kit do all of this.

We talk like the animator on the call, not the agency deck: confident, specific, a little cheeky.

Writing rules

Headlines are short, sentence case, and end with a full stop.

Notes are lower case, one thought, in the animator’s voice:

Labels borrow from the exposure sheet: SC 03 · F 096 · 01:12.

Numbers are real or shown as placeholders like [+00%]. Never invent a client result.

The tagline “We make the sexiest visuals.” is said once per page and meant.
