Svana brand guidelines

The name and identity of a studio management system developed from the one already in use at WE Pilates. Designed to feel premium yet simple, and ready to offer to other studios under its own name.

Svana is pronounced SVAH-nah

From svanr, the Old Norse word for swan. A swan is an image of grace and balance, and the Swan is also a classic Pilates exercise that extends the spine one vertebra at a time. The name is short, reads as written in Thai, and needs no long explanation.

White, black and the color of still water

Luxury comes from using few colors. The Svana brand is mostly white and black, with Lake, the deep blue of the water's surface, as the one added color. The colors in member screens belong to each studio.

Cormorant in capitals sets the brand name and short headings for a sense of luxury. All other text uses Apple's system font paired with Noto Sans Thai, so it reads easily in both Thai and English.

Say less, but say it clearly

A luxury brand doesn't need to shout. Say what the system actually does, in words studios already use, like session, class, instructor and front desk. Short, polite and never oversold.

The studio is the star. Svana stays behind the scenes.

Members should feel they're using the studio's app, not a software company's. The Svana brand leads only when speaking to studio owners.
