1.About Witsee

Witsee is a next-generation tracking solution designed to modernize the bowling experience. It functions as a digital bridge, turning raw physical movement into clear, technical insights through a seamless integration of sensor technology and AI.

While the industry has historically focused on simple scoring or complex, inaccessible data, Witsee focuses on Actual Performance. By providing a roadmap from raw data to real-world improvement, we are transforming bowling into a data-backed discipline where clarity and consistency are accessible to every player on the lane.

2.Positioning

Strategic direction

Witsee is the definitive bridge between raw data and technical mastery in bowling. By translating the invisible mechanics of every throw into a ‘shared language’ for coaches and players, Witsee shifts the focus from the final score to the consistency of the process. Operating as both a high-precision expert and a supportive mentor, the brand replaces intuition with objective clarity, providing the actionable guidance necessary to turn technical understanding into repeatable excellence.

The brand operates across two value territories:

Expert

Trusted authority in bowling training, emphasising accuracy and credibility.

Mentor

Supportive guide helping players understand and improve their technique.

Our role

The Witsee shot insight sensor is a high-precision, lightweight training device that transforms any bowling ball into a source of actionable intelligence. By pairing an in-ball sensor with an AI-powered app, it captures complex metrics – such as RPM, velocity, and axis tilt – to serve as a digital bridge that translates a player’s physical intuition into objective, technical performance for both coaches and athletes.

Our value

3.Logotype

The Witsee logotype represents the duality of bowling: the zen-like focus required to prepare for a shot, and the explosive climax of the strike. Below, you will find various versions of the Witsee logo, designed to help you communicate with the right tone and maintain brand consistency.

Witsee primary logotype

Logotype versions

Our logo is available in two distinct versions: a wordmark and a symbol. Below, you will find guidelines on how and when to use each variation.

Witsee wordmark

WordmarkThe wordmark is our primary logo and should serve as the standard identifier for the brand. It is the preferred choice for formal communications, legal documents, letterheads, and all other official contexts where clear, immediate brand recognition is required.

Witsee symbol

SymbolThe symbol is the ideal choice for small-scale applications such as favicons, thumbnails, and social media profile pictures. However, its versatility means it also works beautifully as a standalone design element in broader brand communications and marketing materials.

Safe zone

To ensure our logo remains legible and impactful, always give it room to breathe. The safe zone for both the Wordmark and the Symbol is determined by the height of the letter ‘W’ (represented as X).

Rule

The required clear space around the logo must always be at least one-quarter of the ‘W’ height (X/4) on all sides.

Minimum size

Logotype colors

4.Colors

Our color palette is an essential part of Witsee identity, uniting the logo, typography, and other visual elements into a cohesive brand system. Before using these colors, make sure the correct color codes are applied.

The Witsee color palette consists of four primary colors: light gray, dusk gray, white, and black. This palette helps convey a sense of professionalism, clarity, and modernity across all brand materials.

The identity also includes accent colors: light blue, bright orange and graphic element backgrounds. These colors are mainly used in communication materials, adding a sense of playfulness, energy and accessibility. While our blue and orange accents should always be anchored by primary colors, our graphic backgrounds offer more flexibility and can stand on their own.

5.Typography

In our visual identity, we use the FH Dfaalt typeface. It is applied in communication materials, print, and other identity assets. This font is used universally – for headlines, subheadings, and body text.

When it is not possible to use our primary identity font (for example, in documents), FH Dfaalt is replaced with Arial.

6.Photography style

The Witsee photography style is defined by high-contrast imagery and an “authentic-cinematic” aesthetic. By utilizing sharp lighting and deep shadows, the photography highlights raw textures – from the grain of a bowling lane to the intricate detail of a human eye. This style mirrors Witsee’s core values of clarity, precision and attention to details.

While the compositions often lean into a neutral, monochromatic base (grays and blacks), they are punctuated by vibrant pops of our accent colors – bright orange and light blue – found naturally within the environment.

7.Graphic elements

Gradient element

Our visual journey led us back to the bowling ball in motion. By translating the ball’s rotation into a graphic style, we found a balance between athletic tradition and modern flexibility. The final touch was capturing the energy of the bowler’s loop – an ever-changing, personal signature of the game. This evolved into a fluid, energetic graphic system that breathes life into the Witsee identity, effortlessly adapting to any medium.

Color combinations

We have developed two distinct colorways for our graphic elements to convey different brand moods.

Blue colorway

BlueEmbodies a ‘zen’ energy: focused, calm, and professional.

Orange and purple colorway

Orange & PurpleDesigned for high-impact moments, offering a more dynamic and energetic aesthetic.

Graphic element in use

To ensure absolute versatility across all brand touchpoints, our core graphic element operates as a dynamic, four-part system. Rather than a static asset, this fluid element adapts to different contexts while maintaining strict visual cohesion, allowing us to scale the brand’s energy up or down as needed.

Layout examples

Don’ts

To maintain brand integrity and ensure visual consistency, it is just as important to understand what to avoid. Adhering to these guidelines is essential for keeping our brand identity strong and intact.

Don't: not aligned to margins

Not aligned to marginsAlways respect the layout’s structural grid. Do not allow typography, logos, or other essential content to encroach upon or bleed into the defined margin safe zones.

Don't: gradient type with graphic element

Gradient type with graphic elementDo not combine gradient typography with the full gradient graphic in the same composition. Choose one primary brand element to lead the design.

Don't: carousel slide used as one

Carousel slide used as oneNever use a multi-slide carousel layout from the package if you are only posting a single image.

Don't: graphic element on image

Graphic element on imageDo not overlay graphic elements directly onto lifestyle photography or wrap them around subjects. Let clear photography remain unobstructed.

Don't: image block in the middle

Image block in the middleDo not create new layout compositions or structural grids from scratch. Always use the pre-approved templates within the social media package.
