Modplan Brand &
Design Guide

The definitive reference for Modplan's visual identity, design system, and communication standards. Use this guide to ensure consistency across all brand touchpoints.

Design Philosophy

The Modplan design system is built around the principle of Modern Trade Authority. Every design decision should communicate reliability, precision, and 50 years of earned expertise — without feeling heavy, dated, or inaccessible.

The previous website relied on a heavy black background and ALL CAPS typography that created an oppressive, aggressive feel. The new design corrects this with a clean white/grey base, using the brand orange as a precision tool rather than wallpaper.

Clarity Over Decoration
Trade buyers need information fast. Every element must earn its place.
Structural Confidence
The layout itself communicates reliability. Consistent grids, deliberate spacing.
Warmth Through Photography
Real people, real products, real places — not stock imagery.

The Design Test

"Does this choice reinforce or dilute our design philosophy?" — Ask this before every design decision.
