Oak Surf Club logo
A crisp, flat-vector logo sits centered on a saturated tomato-orange field. The composition is built around a white almond-shaped surfboard or eye-like capsule, containing red lettering with a loose mid-century surf-script wordmark and spaced uppercase sans-serif text above and below. The mood is sunny, casual, retro, and coastal, with minimal texture, high contrast, and a clean badge-like layout suited to stickers, apparel, or club signage.
