The current Lasso brand was created in December 2019. It’s called Neon Cowboy. This is the second update to Lasso which was originally created in 2017 by Laura Fiebert. You can read about the brand total makeover here.
The brand name is a reference an actual lasso, which is a loop of rope designed as a restraint to be thrown around a target and tightened when pulled. The word is also a verb. To lasso is to throw the loop of rope around something. In the case of the software, that something is your links.
The Lasso logo includes a graphic representation of the original cactus logo in neon sign form with a glow. The typography in the logo represents a rope.
Logos
The Lasso logo comes in a single arrangement. We prefer you to use our logo with the wordmark attached, but if you need our logomark on its own, we’ve provided that too.
The logo should only appear on a purple (#5E36CA) background. Included in the logo kit
Colors
We use what we call ‘ConvertKit Red’ as our accent color, with a sleek navy and crisp blue for backgrounds. Plus a couple of accent colors that can be used sparingly!
