The Mbeng's emblem

THE MBENG'S

Brand & Content Lookbook · v1 · July 2026

Silent N Production
01 · Logo

One emblem. Five energies.

The mark is the gold circuit-engraved M inside a ring woven from the five siblings' powers — vine green, holographic gold, earth amber, speed orange, hex-light violet-blue. It is used alone, without a wordmark, and always from the transparent master file. When the show name is needed, set “THE MBENG'S” in Fredoka SemiBold beside or beneath it.

Emblem on dark
Primary — on darkPreferred usage. Keep clear space of ¼ emblem width on all sides; nothing enters the ring's glow.
Emblem on light
On lightWorks on warm cream & photography. If the background is busy, sit the emblem in a dark circle first.

Minimum sizes

  • Digital: never below 48px wide (favicon master: 128px).
  • Print: never below 12mm wide.
  • Video watermark: 5–6% of frame width, top-left, 70% opacity.

Don'ts

  • ✕ Don't recolor the M or the ring energies.
  • ✕ Don't rotate, outline, or add drop shadows beyond the built-in glow.
  • ✕ Don't place text inside the clear-space zone.
  • ✕ Don't use the old black-box render — transparent master only.
02 · Color

The power palette

Five power colors — one per sibling — carry all the fun. They sit on a warm, grounded base (cream, clay, night) so the brand stays structured, not chaotic. Rule of thumb: base does the layout, power colors do the talking.

The five-color “power ring” gradient (gold → green → blue → violet → orange) is a signature element: use it as a 4px seam on section edges, video end-cards and thumbnail borders — never as a full background.

How the Mbeng's show up in the feed

Vertical video leads discovery. Every clip carries three brand locks: the emblem top-left, a Fredoka hook with one gold word, and the power-ring seam on the end-card.
