Proposal Template
Proposal Footer Options
Twelve footer directions for the 8.5×11 portrait proposal page — six for light pages, six for dark. The current footer (tiny flame mark + letterspaced text assembled in the PPT master) goes away; every option below uses the full logo lockup or the logo's Oswald-style wordmark, per Genevieve's direction.
How to read these: each mockup is the bottom slice of a letter-size page at print proportions — faded lines stand in for body copy. Footer colors are fixed per option and don't follow the site theme toggle.
Light Mode
for white / linen proposal pages
10
The straightest swap: hairline rule, full wide lockup at left, mono page number at right. Minimal change-management, maximum logo fidelity.
Anvil mark plus a live-type wordmark in the logo's condensed style — gold FX, letterspaced SIMULATIONS underneath. The 2px gold rule carries the brand without artwork scaling issues.
Formal and symmetric — the lockup sits centered between two hairlines, with URL and full pagination tucked below. Reads well on cover-adjacent and section-divider pages.
10
A gold-to-copper bar runs the full bottom edge of the sheet — strong page-edge identity when proposals are printed and bound. Lockup and URL ride just above it.
10
A quiet linen band separates footer from content, with the confidentiality notice centered and the page number in a gold chip. Most "document system" of the light options.
10
L1 with the lockup scaled down (~70%) — quieter footer presence, more breathing room above the hairline, same minimal-change layout.
Dark Mode
for forge-black proposal pages
10
Mirror of L1 for dark pages: white-text lockup over warm forge-black, gold hairline, gold page number. The default dark pairing.
The live-type wordmark direction on forge-black — cream FORGE, gold FX, warm-taupe SIMULATIONS. Scales cleanly at any footer height with zero raster artifacts.
The symmetric treatment translated to dark — centered lockup between soft cream hairlines, URL left, full pagination right.
10
A gold rule that burns out left-to-right — the "ember" motif from the sales deck. Directional, modern, and quieter than a solid rule at full width.
10
A near-black band with a gold keyline caps the page — lockup left, confidentiality notice centered, pagination right. Pairs with L5 as a matched light/dark system.
10
D1 with the lockup scaled down (~70%) — same gold hairline and pagination, lighter brand footprint for content-dense dark pages. Pairs with L6.
