Boilerplate

The standard description. Use it as it is, or cut it down.

SODDENGECKO is the gaming channel of Mark, a Welsh streamer from Cardiff who spent twenty-five years in IT before a chronic pain condition retired him early. The channel runs Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings: mostly Project Zomboid on a private, heavily modded server with a fixed group of friends, and whatever else is worth playing alongside it. The tone is precise rather than loud — clean setups, dry humour, and a lot of visible tinkering behind the scenes.

Logos

3 files

Individual files rather than a zip — take the one you need. Each is shown at the size it will be used here, not the size it downloads at.

Using the logo

Do

  • Use the logo at its original aspect ratio
  • Place the logo on solid or subtle gradient backgrounds
  • Write it as “SoddenGecko” — one word, camel case
  • Pair green with warm accents sparingly — ember for highlights
  • Use dark backgrounds by default

Don't

  • Stretch, skew or rotate the logo
  • Place the logo on busy or patterned backgrounds
  • Write it as “Sodden Gecko”, “soddengecko” or “SODDENGECKO” in running text
  • Use the warm accents as a dominant colour — they are highlights only
  • Add drop shadows, glows or effects to the logo
  • Mix in colours outside the palette below

Keep padding equal to 25% of the logo's width on all sides, and never render it smaller than 32×32px. In a container, use a 12–24px corner radius to match the logo's own rounding.

Paired with the wordmark, the logo sits to the left with a 12px gap, vertically centred.

Colours

Roughly 60% dark ground, 20% green, 10% warm accent, 10% neutral. The warm accents are highlights, never the dominant colour.
