The Excuse My Blank Brand
The visual identity and voice that hold the whole thing together — what we sound like, what we look like, and how the pieces fit.
Brand at a glance / Voice & Tone
Excuse My Blank is an adult, irreverent improv-comedy party game. It’s 15+, fourth-wall-breaking, crude, and proudly self-deprecating. It’s the game you play with the friends you actually like — and definitely not the one you bring to the office. Don’t invite Kevin.

Logo / Wordmark
The wordmark is set in Bungee. Loud, blocky, unmissable.
The favicon mark is the two-card stack — a coral card and a cream card, mirroring the Style/Topic pair the whole game runs on.
Usage: keep clear space around the wordmark, and never stretch, skew, or recolor it. Bungee, as-is.
Color palette
The background is a five-stop sunset gradient. Cards carry the two warm contrast sets.

Typography
Cards
Two card types: Style (pink) is a character to perform, Topic (cream) is a subject to riff on. This is the visual treatment — for how to actually write one, see Submit a Card.
Every card has the same parts: a small uppercase kicker label (Style or Topic), a short rule beneath it, the big Anton headline doing the heavy lifting, and a hard offset drop-shadow plus a light ring that give the deck its chunky, printed feel.
Buttons & components
The primary pill uses the Style card background; the ghost pill is translucent with a border; the chip tags a card type; the 15+ badge flags the age rating.
Layout
Content is capped to a 1200px container (var(--container)) with
