Summary

A short two-word display lockup rendered in white type with tall vertical glitch spikes shooting off each letter, set on a plain charcoal background.

Visual description

Small, widely tracked all-caps white letters sit centered on a flat dark gray field. Each letterform sprouts thin vertical streaks above and below it, like a long-exposure glitch or scan-line artifact, giving the otherwise minimal wordmark a distressed, staticky texture. The wide letter spacing and small type scale leave most of the canvas empty.

Key takeaway

A single distortion effect (vertical streak/glitch) applied uniformly across restrained, widely spaced type turns a plain wordmark into a textured, technical-feeling graphic without adding any extra elements.

Reuse notes

Works well as a title treatment for music, audio, or broadcast-adjacent brands wanting a glitchy or analog-signal feel. Best used sparingly, at small scale, since the effect reads as noise rather than a legible logotype at a distance.
