Mineral charcoal
Fine grain on the listening shell, navigation and player. A quiet foundation for artwork and voices.
A place to hear.
A room to belong.
Music, poetry, spoken word and conversations. A contemporary Northern Cape listening room, shaped by the voices it holds.

01 / THE IDEA
Independent voices.
Shared space.
Listen. brings the intimacy of a listening lounge together with the character of a cultural magazine. Mineral surfaces set the room. Paper makes space for a story. The people and their work bring the colour.
The official supplied Listen. artwork now carries the authorised TSPN green, gold and ivory palette. The earlier serif logo concept is superseded. This brand room accompanies the private platform prototype.
02 / THE SIGNATURE
An unmistakable mark.
A point of attention.
The angular lettering and P emblem come from the official artwork. The gold triangular terminal is part of that geometry. On the compact L, the letter is green or ivory and the separate dot stays gold.
Use green and gold on light surfaces; ivory and gold on dark surfaces. Keep the original proportions and at least one tenth of the logo’s height clear on every side. Do not retype, redraw, stretch, crop or add effects.
Working minimums: full logo 320 px wide or 60 mm in print; compact L 32 px high or 8 mm in print. On smaller screens, use the compact mark with a clear product-name label.

03 / THE MATERIALS
A little texture.
Room for the work.
Warm paper
Subtle fibres on editorial features, podcast introductions and regional stories.
Architectural rhythm
Faint lines connect the product to the wider TSPN design language.
Reading, account forms and financial tables use calm solid surfaces. Texture stays decorative; meaning lives in the text, icons and controls.
04 / THE COLOUR
Grounded. Warm.
Considered.
Gold remains exact in the artwork. Interface text uses darker or lighter supporting shades where contrast requires it. Warm paper and copper extend the interface; they are not extra logo colours.
05 / THE TYPE
Expression meets clarity.
When words
become worlds.
Major headings, poetry features and campaign text. Logo lettering remains the supplied vector artwork.
Your listening room.
Discover a voice. Keep a favourite close. Follow a story. Find your way back.

06 / THE FAMILY
Each name has a role.
- Listen.

- The Silent P Network
- The parent endorsement: “A platform of The Silent P Network.”
- Urban Psalmist Records
- The record label and production home; credited as producer of The Silent P Podcast.
- The Silent P Podcast
- A distinct show identity within the listening experience.
TSPN, UPR and podcast source marks retain their supplied artwork and colours. Keep production credits next to the show, and the parent endorsement in the platform’s supporting identity.
07 / THE VOICE
Find your people.
Hear their stories.
Warm, assured and clear. Editorial language welcomes people into the room. Accounts, permissions and commercial terms use direct language.
