Talloo Brand Guide
The definitive reference for how Talloo looks, speaks, and shows up across every touchpoint.
What Talloo stands for.
Talloo builds and runs digital infrastructure for local businesses. Every brand decision supports a clear, consistent local presence.
“You don’t need to be famous everywhere, you just need to be Five Mile Famous.”
Talloo Core Positioning Statement
Four principles. One mission.
Every product, service, and communication maps back to at least one of these pillars.
Who Talloo is.
Three words define the Talloo personality across every touchpoint.
The Talloo wordmark.
The primary logo is the Talloo wordmark set in Inter Black. The wordmark always appears as a single solid color, never split or recolored mid-word. Never stretch, distort, or apply drop shadows to the logo.
The official color system.
These are the only approved brand colors. #FF5000 is the primary accent, use it intentionally for calls to action, highlights, and key brand moments. Never approximate or substitute. Click a swatch to copy its hex.
- Primary call-to-action buttons
- Key stat callouts and highlights
- Active navigation and hover states
- Section labels and eyebrow text
- Decorative accents on dark backgrounds
- Using orange for large body text blocks
- Placing orange on orange backgrounds
- Tinting or adjusting the orange value
- Introducing colors outside this palette
- Using gray as a primary CTA color
- Gradient treatments on the brand orange
Inter. One typeface, every use.
Inter is the sole brand typeface. Consistency comes from weight variation: 900/800 for display and headlines, 700 for subheadings, 400 for body, and 500 to 600 for labels and UI elements.
How Talloo speaks.
Talloo communicates like a knowledgeable, no-nonsense local business advisor, direct, empathetic, and results-focused. Never salesy. Never vague.
- Lead with outcomes: "More calls" before "we manage your profile."
- Use specific numbers: "60+ digital surfaces," "50-mile referral radius."
- Be direct about problems: "If you're not found, you don't exist."
- Address the reader as "you", personal and actionable.
- Use short sentences for emphasis. Explain with longer ones.
- Sound confident, not aggressive. Expert, not arrogant.
- Use buzzword-heavy language: "holistic ecosystem," "omnichannel synergy."
- Make promises that can't be measured or verified.
- Write passive voice when active is available.
- Pad headlines, cut every unnecessary word.
- Use formal corporate language that alienates small business owners.
- Use more than 2 exclamation points per page of content.
Lines that define us.
Use these approved phrases consistently across campaigns, ads, and sales materials.
Visual language principles.
Photography and visuals should reinforce Talloo's grounded, community character. Always real, never stock-generic.
