REGGIE'S SMOKEHOUSE · BRAND SYSTEM v1.0

The way
the brand
builds.

A reference for everything that wears the Reggie's Smokehouse name — logos, color, type, motif, and the visual language we use across the site, packaging, and storefront.

Reggie's Smokehouse

CLARKSVILLE, TN · MAY 2026

01

SECTION ONE

The mark.

Two lockups. The horizontal works for headers, footers, and any wide format. The vertical is for stamps, packaging, and small spaces. Use the smoker-and-flame badge alone only when the wordmark is already visible nearby.

Horizontal lockup on paper
Vertical lockup on paper
Horizontal lockup on smoke

MINIMUM

Horizontal: 120px wide.

DON'T

Don't recolor. Don't rotate. Don't compress.

DO

Use full color on cream. Use white knockout on dark.

02

SECTION TWO

The palette.

Six colors. Three from the logo. Three to give the system room to breathe. Butcher paper is the default surface — pure white never appears.

Smoke Black

#1F1410 · RGB 31 20 16

Primary text, headlines, the wordmark itself. Warm undertone — never pure black.

Ember Orange

#E54B1C · RGB 229 75 28

Primary accent. CTAs, pricing callouts, "Order Now" energy. Pulled from the flame top.

Brick Red

#8B2818 · RGB 139 40 24

Secondary accent. Hover states, depth, the side of the smoker.

Butcher Paper

#F5EEDF · RGB 245 238 223

Default background. Cream that nods to actual butcher paper. Used instead of pure white for warmth.

Smoke Gray

#6B5D54 · RGB 107 93 84

Body text on cream, dividers, secondary metadata. Never used as a background.

Mustard Gold

#C8901F · RGB 200 144 31

Optional pop. "USDA Prime" badges, "Limited Drop" tags, mustard-sauce nods.

SECTION THREE

The type.

Three faces. Each does one job. The wordmark already carries strong slab character — the system around it stays in the same family without copying it.

DISPLAY

Alfa Slab One

Google Fonts · Regular only

Used sparingly and big — headlines, hero type, product names. The closest free match to the "REGGIE'S" wordmark slab.

Slow fire.
Big flavor.

Body copy, product descriptions, all interface text. Modern and highly readable — keeps the brand from tipping into kitsch.

Whole packer briskets, St. Louis ribs, and house-made hot links — smoked low over post oak in Clarksville.

A full packer cut, smoked low and slow over post oak for sixteen hours, rested for two, then sliced for shipping. The bark is black-pepper crusted, the flat pulls clean, and the point shreds. This is the cut Reggie's been smoking since 1994.

SECTION FOUR

The motif & components.

Repeating elements that make Reggie's recognizable across every surface — the flame, the cut-tile, the pill badge, the buttons.

THE FLAME

A two-tone mark pulled from the smoker's fire.

Outer in Butcher Paper or Smoke Black. Inner accent in Mustard or Ember. Minimum render size 24px tall.

THE CUT-TILE

Editorial product card when photography isn't available.

Pitmaster's
Box

Three gradient variants: brick→smoke (default), ember→brick, mustard→olive. Always shows category + cut name.

PILL BADGES

Status, drop labels, and category tags.

USDA PRIME LIMITED DROP BEST SELLER SHIPPED MONDAY PIT-PICK HOUSE-MADE

Oswald 600, all caps, 0.12em tracking. Used to flag scarcity, status, or category.

BUTTONS

Three button styles, one job each.

Ember for primary actions (CTA, purchase). Smoke for confirmations and secondary purchase moments. Ghost for tertiary navigation. Hover collapses to brick red.

PAPER GRAIN OVERLAY

A subtle dot texture sits over hero sections — never on body text.

Two radial-gradient dot patterns at 5% opacity, blend-mode multiply. Adds the warmth of butcher paper to dark backgrounds without competing with the type.

SECTION FIVE

In the wild.

A sample of how the pieces come together — the box label, the social drop, and the editorial product card.

VOICE & TONE

Confident. Plainspoken. A little dry. Never precious about what's being made.

DO SAY

  • "Smoked low. Sent overnight."
  • "Same fire. Same wood. Now it leaves the building."
  • "16 hours. One slow fire."
  • "Reggie's been doing this since 1994."

DON'T SAY

  • "Artisanal post-oak-fired meat experience"
  • "Curated culinary journey"
  • "Y'all gonna LOVE this!!!"
  • "The most authentic BBQ you'll ever taste"

RULES OF THUMB

  • Short sentences. Periods.
  • One claim per line.
  • No exclamations. The food does the work.
  • If Reggie wouldn't say it at the counter, don't write it.
