LOGO STORY
The name “gass” is an acronym of Gregg, Andy, Sam, and Steve — four friends who coined the name while starting their final year university project at Winchester University. What began as a student collaboration grew into a professional production company.
gass productions limited was formally incorporated on 22 December 2006 (Companies House no. 06036348), and it was after this milestone that the logo was designed and created by co-founder and now Chief Technology Officer, Dan Radford.
The mark itself — “gass” set in a bold, rounded sans-serif within a black rectangular block — creates a distinctive visual presence that commands attention. The rectangular block symbolises structure and foundation, while the clean typography conveys modernity and professionalism. The deliberate simplicity ensures the logo works at any size, from a business card to a cinema screen.
When paired with “Productions” in the same typeface, the full lockup communicates the complete service offering. Our logo works across both light and dark backgrounds, maintaining equal visual impact in either context — reflecting the adaptability and professionalism of the brand.
LOGO USAGE
- Placed on dark backgrounds (navy, charcoal, black)
- On dark photography or video
- As primary mark in most applications
- Placed on light or white backgrounds
- On light photography
- When dark version lacks contrast

STRAPLINE
Live Event & Creative Video Production Services
Usage Guidelines
- Always paired with logo: The strapline should typically appear below or alongside the main logo in company materials.
- Size relationship: The strapline should be noticeably smaller than the logo but still clearly legible. Typically 40-60% the size of the logo.
- Never truncate: Always use the complete strapline. Do not abbreviate or modify the wording.
- Colour: Use the same colour as the logo (white on dark, black on light, or gold on black for emphasis).
- Font: Always use Outfit, typically in Regular (400) or Light (300) weight.
- Spacing: Allow adequate space between logo and strapline—typically 15-20 pixels on digital, proportional on print.
- Hierarchy: The strapline is secondary to the logo. It should enhance but not compete with the main mark.
