Review celebration discovery

Pricing · One published launch model

The website, discovery, portal fee notes and referral preview share the 5% standard fee, $199 event minimum, $50 credited deposit and lower marginal tiers. Checkout remains off.

Please try: Compare the pricing explanation in discovery and the client information page. Check that professional invoices remain separate.

Fête Brand Foundation · Atlanta · Working system 01

Premium enough to inspire. Warm enough to belong to.

Fête is an editorially refined, culturally alive identity for the people planning Atlanta's celebrations—and the people whose work makes them possible.

Brand promiseBetter celebrations. Stronger event businesses. A more connected Atlanta.
Fête Community emblem

Built in Atlanta. Shaped by the people who make this city celebrate.

01 · Master identity

One recognizable mark. A family built to grow.

Six abstract people create a continuous gathering around an open center. The emblem restores the collaborative meaning of the beta mark in an original, cleaner and more scalable form.

Fête Community emblem
Master emblem

Use for brand moments, seals, watermarks and community storytelling.

Keep the emblem intact.Do not redraw, stretch, rotate or add effects.
Fête is always the lead.The descriptor identifies the audience, product or place.
Atlanta is a market label.The city changes as Fête expands; the master identity does not.
Category icons stay secondary.They can guide navigation without becoming competing logos.

02 · Descriptor system

Every offering belongs to the same Fête.

The emblem and wordmark remain consistent. A clear descriptor creates recognition without building twelve unrelated brands.

03 · Color

Smoky lilac is the signature—not the whole room.

Warm ivory and paper create light. Ink supplies authority. Lilac carries recognition. Atlanta ochre, clay and evergreen appear only when the moment needs warmth, energy or status.

04 · Typography

Editorial character, everyday clarity.

Instrument Serif · Display · 400

The people behind Atlanta's best events should know each other.

Celebration has a language of its own.
Manrope · Body + UI · 400–800

Fête turns shared standards, local knowledge and real professional relationships into better-matched celebrations.

Use Manrope for navigation, explanations, labels, forms, data and every moment where speed and comprehension matter most.

FÊTE VERIFIED

Display: sentence case, generous scale and restrained line length. Italics add voice, never decoration for its own sake.

Sans: concise, direct and human. Use weight—not all caps—to create most hierarchy.

Accessibility: body copy stays comfortably readable; lilac is never used for small text on ivory without sufficient contrast.

05 · Photography

Creative Atlanta, photographed from inside the room.

Fête is Black-centered because that truthfully reflects Atlanta's event market, and genuinely multicultural because the community is not exclusive. Across the full library, Black professionals should remain the largest visible group while White, Asian, Hispanic and Latino, mixed-race and other Atlanta professionals appear naturally as peers inside real teams. The visual world should balance craft, connection, movement and unmistakable celebration—never tokenism.

  24. 24
    Atlanta context

    A restrained skyline, streetscape or venue exterior used as an establishing image, never as a graphic cliché.

06 · Visual principles

The filter for every screen, campaign and photograph.

01

Clarity before atmosphere

A visitor should understand what Fête does before the design asks them to admire it.

02

Editorial, never cold

Use scale, rhythm and restraint—then bring the page to life with people, motion, texture and voice.

03

Community, not a directory

Show relationships, shared work and trust. Profiles and cards should never feel like anonymous listings.

04

Atlanta through truth

Let real venues, professionals, celebrations and neighborhoods locate the brand. Avoid decorative city clichés.

05

Premium through intention

Premium means considered, useful and beautifully made—not beige, distant or needlessly exclusive.

06

One family, distinct doors

Clients and professionals receive different stories while remaining unmistakably inside the same Fête world.

The working test

Does it feel clear, connected, creative and worthy of the people doing the work?

If the answer is no, the design is not finished.
