Section Overview

The **Brand Statement** section (`sections/brand-statement.liquid`) allows you to showcase high-impact typography blocks anywhere on your homepage or landing pages. Instead of basic text boxes, it gives store builders granular control over layout widths, alignment, responsive typography sizes, and independent light/dark mode color palettes.

Section-Level Layout Settings

When you click on the main **Brand Statement** header inside the Shopify Theme Editor, you can customize the general outer container settings that govern all blocks within the section:

Container & Widths

Adapt the horizontal bounding box to align perfectly with adjacent sections:

  • Default (Page Width): Centers the section within the global theme margins.
  • 1360px: Wide containment mode, ideal for spacious layouts.
  • 1280px: Narrower containment, focusing user attention inward.

Typography & Spacing

Global controls to adjust text layout and padding margins:

  • Text Alignment: Align all blocks in the section to the Left, Center, or Right.
  • Padding (Top/Bottom): Scale spacing inside the background frame (0px to 160px).
  • Margin (Top/Bottom): Adjust outer spacing between sections (0px to 100px).

Block Parameters

  • Statement Text: Plaintext input area supporting bracket markup.

4. Badge Statement Block

No block limits

Our premium design statement block. It allows merchants to inject inline, rounded visual pills directly into sentences. Perfect for linking closeups, material textures, or lifestyle frames right where the user is reading.

Inline Badge Configuration

  • Statement Text: Supports inline image indicators ([image1], [image2], [image3]) and highlight brackets ([Text]).
  • Badge Image 1 (Phone Pill): Image selector for the first placeholder.
  • Badge Image 2 (Woman Pill): Image selector for the second placeholder.
  • Badge Image 3 (Case Pill): Image selector for the third placeholder.

Placeholder Fallback Behavior

If you do not upload custom files for the badge picker fields, the theme will automatically inject default placeholder SVGs into the sentence flow to keep the premium layout intact.

Step-by-Step Special Formatting Guide

Customize typography emphasis directly inside your text input fields by using the theme's custom inline syntax:

[Highlighted Text]

SVG Highlight Squiggles

Applies custom accent color highlighting paired with a hand-drawn underline SVG stroke.

How to configure:

  1. Select any **Highlight Statement** block or **Badge Statement** block.
  2. In the text field, wrap your target words in square brackets. Example: Design for [Modern Living] and [Sustainable Spaces].
  3. The words inside brackets will be colored with the Highlight Accent Text Color, and an SVG hand-drawn squiggle underline will render beneath them.
Punctuation Placement
Do not include punctuation marks inside the brackets. Use [Design]. instead of [Design.] to prevent the SVG squiggle from extending out of bounds.
[image1] / [image2] / [image3]

Inline Image Badges

Renders custom visual rounded capsules inline with the sentence text flow.

How to configure:

  1. Create a **Badge Statement** block.
  2. Insert placeholders [image1], [image2], or [image3] directly inside the text editor flow.
  3. Upload matching files into the corresponding image fields in the block settings dashboard.
  4. On the live storefront, the text placeholders are automatically replaced with fluid, pill-shaped images (width scales from 64px on mobile to 104px on desktop). Hovering over these pills triggers a smooth scale and rotation micro-animation.

Merchant Copy-Paste Templates

Use these templates to quickly build high-converting editorial layouts in your storefront:

Example A: Sustainability Tagline

"We choose [organic fibers] and [recycled hardware] to make products that endure. [image1] Handcrafted for a [cleaner planet]."

**Configuration:** Set the block type to **Badge Statement**. Upload a lifestyle crop of organic textiles into the **Badge Image 1** field. The squiggle underline will automatically target organic fibers, recycled hardware, and cleaner planet.

Example B: Interactive Tech Tagline

"Hear details. [image1] Live wireless. [image2]
Crafted for [pure isolation]."

**Configuration:** Set the block type to **Badge Statement**. Upload closeup product frames (earbuds and charging case) into the **Badge Image 1** and **Badge Image 2** pickers.

Independent Light/Dark Color Settings
Always preview your pages in both Light Mode and Dark Mode inside the Shopify Theme Editor. Because the theme supports real-time dark/light switching, setting correct values inside the light/dark color picker parameters ensures text remains readable and high-contrast in both states.
