Stream Ocean

Stream Ocean measures the life around ocean sites with solar-powered buoys, underwater cameras and a species-detection model. The identity, the website and the Sentinel dashboard were designed as one piece in 2026, from the mark outward: the same window onto the water on the poster, on the site and around every fish the model finds.

A window onto the water

Stream Ocean puts solar-powered buoys and underwater cameras on remote marine sites and runs the footage through a species-detection model, so an offshore operator, a regulator or a restoration team can see what lives at a site without sending divers.

The mark is a square window onto water: wave bands drawn on a grid derived from circle geometry, with clear space and lockup set from the cap height. The frame the model draws around a fish is the same window at another scale, which is why it appears in the stories and on the site. One colour carries the palette. Living Coral stands for the ecosystems the cameras watch and the urgency of keeping them.

The identity covers the mark and its construction, Stream Sans for the brand with Archivo and DM Mono for the site and Sentinel, a six-colour palette, social templates, the website and the product.

Type plate on Cloud Grey: Stream Sans, By Numans and Jovanny, set as three giant lines running past the edge, with the weights 300 400 500 600 in small mono type below
Four lines of Invisible, visible in white on Living Coral, one per weight: Light, Regular, Medium, Demibold
Archivo on white, the site and Sentinel face: Every fish, counted set four times, each line wider than the last along the width axis
DM Mono on Cloud Grey: the family name, a survey time, 22 Apr 2023 12:20, and Acanthurus sp. 0.94 as three large lines
Colour plate: six vertical bands, Living Coral FF6F61 the widest, then Peach FFA9A0, White FFFFFF, Cloud Grey EEEEEE, Onyx 434343 and Black 101010, each named at the top with its HEX and RGB values at the foot
Five phone screens on black, the outer two cut by the edge: an editorial post, 5 limitations of traditional diver surveys, over reef footage; a story of a Red Sea bay with the Transnational Red Sea Center; the Monaco Ocean Week story on the grainy wave; a numbered stream from a camera; and a coral swipe card titled Time
Brand image: three humpback whales seen from above in deep blue water, inside a thin white detection frame labelled Humpback Whale, Megaptera novaeangliae, with the white Stream Ocean lockup over them
Pattern tile: white wave bands on Living Coral with a fine grain
Pattern tile: white wave bands on black
Pattern tile: coral wave bands each fading to white, with heavy grain

The site and the system

The website gives the hardware, the detection and the dashboard equal weight: the camera turning on white, the system shown part by part, the model's own output unedited, and one call to action, a pilot at a single site.

Sentinel, the product behind every unit

Sentinel is the dashboard the site points to. It reads the footage, sensors and weather from each survey point, checks them against the site's own limits, and says in one word whether the site needs attention. Its screens close the page: the overview of one site, in both themes, and the analysis of an eight-week window.
