Flatland Cowboys

Brand Guide

where west texas legends live

Our mission is to create and curate clothing rooted in faith, forged by hard work, and worn by those who live with conviction. We exist at the crossroads of cowboy grit, blue-collar pride, and rock-and-roll edge—building pieces that honor earned character, not borrowed identity.

Primary Logo

Our logo features Flatland in a hand-lettered script underscored by Cowboy in an all caps serif. The top bar on the F in Flatland is stretched as an abstract nod to the West Texas Flatland, the brand's backdrop. The juxtaposition of the script and the serif, both uniquely imperfect, speaks to the elegant yet rugged brand personality. Flatland balances refinement and rawness through a design language that feels unearthed rather than constructed.

The full Combo Mark should be on all official collateral when space allows. Only set it in the following approved colorways primarily showcasing the mark in Asphalt Black and Off White. The Black and White colorways are only to be used on brand partnership collateral when required by brand partners.

Usage

Safe Space

When displaying any of the logo variations, maintain ample space around it to avoid crowding or interference from other elements. To achieve this, don’t place anything within the “safe space” equivalent to 10% the width of the logo.

*Of course, there are exceptions: subtle patterns or textures overlapping at 20% opacity or less are acceptable.

Please Don't

To maintain consistency in logo variations across all platforms, avoid the following:

#

Use unapproved color combinations or colors

#

Distort the logo and elements

#

Mask images into the logo

#

Place logo on backgrounds that make elements hard to read

#

Use alt fonts
