Pattern
Any of the sixteen animated patterns as a full ground — mesh, halftone, dither, Bauhaus tiles, waves, rings, dots, confetti, pills, sunburst… — in the brand's colours or your own.
Bauhaus field
A full field of Bauhaus tiles — quarter circles, half discs, discs, diamonds — turning in a diagonal wave, in the brand's colours.
Retro grid
Synthwave: a neon grid floor rushing toward you under a striped sun and a glowing horizon, stars twinkling above.
Lava blobs
Gooey blobs in the accents drift, merge and pull apart like a lava lamp.
Colour sweep
A slow, rich gradient through the brand's colours that turns and shifts, with a light grain — the simplest premium ground.
Starfield
Stars stream toward you out of the dark — warp speed or a slow drift — some in the accents.
