About the project

Goaltenders are particular about their gear, and a custom mask is the most personal piece of it. MMOFSWE needed an identity as precise as the masks it makes: Swedish, cold and quietly premium.

CROWN MARK โ€” CONSTRUCTION

CLEAR SPACE = X (โ…“ MARK HEIGHT)

MIN. SIZE 12 MM PRINT / 48 PX SCREEN

The crown mark on its construction grid, with clear space and minimum sizes for decals as small as a chin strap.

The mark

The mark reads three ways at once: the MM initials, the crown of Sweden, and the armored outline of a goalie mask.

Primary lockup in white and midnight, a stacked crown-gold version for premium pieces, and the crown alone for small or square spaces.

Color & type

Cold contrast with controlled luxury: mostly midnight and white, steel for detail, and crown gold used sparingly enough to mean something.

A wide, technical display face for product names, a clean sans for everything readable, and a mono for spec labels, the voice of an engineered product.

VOICE

Swedish precision.

Elite protection.

Built for the crease.

Custom masks, engineered for the last line of defense.

Confident, precise, unhurried. Never loud, never hype.

The crown repeat as a quiet texture for packaging and backgrounds, with one gold crown marking the hero piece; and the brandโ€™s voice in three lines.

On the mask

The mark has to hold up at decal size, on a curved shell, under arena lights and from the last row of the stands.

Packaging

A custom mask takes weeks to make. Opening the box should feel like the final step of the craft, not the first step of recycling.

MMOFSWE makes custom goalie masks with a Swedish point of view. The identity gives a small, specialist maker the presence of a premium equipment brand: one crown mark, a cold and controlled palette, and a technical voice that carries from the mask itself to the box it arrives in.

The ask

The brief was a complete identity for a premium, performance-focused mask maker: one that would feel at home on a professional goaltenderโ€™s gear and on a product page, and that could never be mistaken for a generic hockey shop.

A mark with three meanings

The crown mark is built from two Mโ€™s. Read one way, it is the brandโ€™s initials; read another, it is the Swedish crown; and its armored, angular shape echoes the outline of a goalie mask. Paired with a light, wide wordmark, it works as a full lockup on packaging and as a standalone symbol on a shell, a chin strap or a social avatar.

Cold contrast, controlled luxury

The palette is built on midnight and ice white, with steel and frost for detail and crown gold held back for premium moments, at roughly 80/15/5. A wide technical display face handles product names, a clean sans carries everything readable, and a mono sets spec labels and serial numbers, borrowing the language of engineered equipment.

From shell to box

The applications follow the productโ€™s journey: decals sized for the shell, chin and backplate; a brushed-steel badge carrying an individual mask number; a midnight box with a gold-foil crown, crown-printed tissue, a gold seal and a care card; and team apparel that keeps the crown small and deliberate.

Built to stay precise

The result is an identity that lets a niche maker look as precise as the masks it builds, with rules simple enough to keep it that way as the brand grows.
