Brand system

EncoreIQ is the quiet infrastructure behind the encore.

An AI-powered repeat guest platform. The identity should read like Stripe, Linear and Mercury — engineered, restrained, financially serious — never like a vacation rental listing. This page is the reference for anyone building, writing or designing for EncoreIQ.

Lockups and clearspace

EncoreIQRepeat Guest Platform

Primary lockup

EncoreIQ

Compact lockup — navigation, app chrome

Mark on ink — favicon, avatars, app icon

Monochrome — single-color print, engraving, embossing

  • Clearspace on all sides equals the height of the mark's tile.
  • Minimum size: 20px for the mark, 108px wide for the full lockup.
  • Drop the tagline below 24px tile height — the wordmark carries it.
  • On photography or gradients, always keep the ink tile behind the mark.
03

Misuse

Don't close the gap in the loop — the opening is the brand.
Don't rotate, skew or add a drop shadow to the mark.
Don't recolor the arrow to blue or the loop to gold.
Don't place the mark on photography without the ink tile behind it.
Don't stretch the wordmark or letterspace "EncoreIQ".
Don't add houses, keys, map pins, beaches or suitcases anywhere near it.

Color

A cool, engineered palette. Slate and ink do the structural work; blue carries every action; gold is rationed so it always reads as return. No warm vacation tones, no gradients on text, no color used decoratively.

Voice and imagery

Say this

  • Repeat guest platform. Direct revenue. Retention infrastructure.
  • Specific numbers over adjectives: "18% of stays came back direct."
  • Calm, declarative sentences. No exclamation marks.

Never this

  • "Website builder", "listing tool", or anything that sounds like a PMS.
  • Houses, roofs, keys, map pins, palm trees, beaches, suitcases.
  • Bright tropical color, stock smiling travelers, playful illustration.

Imagery is data, not scenery: charts, cohort grids, interface fragments and dark glass panels. Property photography only ever appears inside a guest site — never in EncoreIQ's own brand surfaces.
