Linus Brand Guidelines for Affiliate PartnersAbout Linus

Linus is a design-driven bicycle and lifestyle brand rooted in Venice, California. Inspired by mid-century European bikes, we create timeless, comfortable, and beautifully made bicycles and accessories that make everyday riding effortless. Our mission is simple: to make riding more accessible, stylish, and part of daily life.

Brand Voice

When communicating about Linus, keep tone and language aligned with who we are:

Editorial & Elevated – Write with thoughtfulness, simplicity, and subtle sophistication. Think of Linus as an understated luxury brand, never loud or overly promotional.

Approachable & Human – While elevated, our voice is warm and inviting. We encourage riders of all kinds.

Community-Rooted – Linus is about lifestyle and everyday journeys: farmers’ market trips, beach rides, commuting, and exploring neighborhoods.

DO:

Highlight design, quality, and timeless style.

Emphasize lifestyle benefits (simplicity, freedom, community).

Use imagery or descriptions that feel aspirational yet attainable.

AVOID:

Hard-sell or discount-driven language.

Overly technical jargon—keep it approachable.

Slang or gimmicky phrasing that feels off-brand.

Visual Guidelines

Photography: Favor natural light, outdoor settings, and lifestyle-driven moments over studio or heavily edited images. Show bikes in motion, everyday use, or paired with accessories.

Color Palette: Muted, classic tones—cream, sea green, matte black, soft pastels—reflect the timeless feel of our bicycles.

Logos: Always use official Linus logos provided by the brand team. Do not stretch, crop, or alter.

Typography: Clean, minimal, editorial—avoid decorative or overly bold fonts.
